{nav icon=home, name=Main Page > icon=thumbs-o-up, name=General Recommendations > name=PureBrowser to Firefox ESR} Moving PureBrowser Profile (bookmarks, history, addons, etc) into Firefox ESR --- * Go into PureBrowser - Click the menu button on the top right - Help - Troubleshooting Information. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open. Under the Application Basics section it will list your Profile Directory. Take note of path to the profile directory ` /home/USER/.purism/purebrowser/USERSTRING.default * If you have already been migrated to Firefox. Just `cd ~/.purism/purebrowser/` and `ls -al`. This will list all files and directories. The directory named USERSTRING.default is the one. * If you have multiple USERSTRING.default then find the one with the date of the last time you used PureBrowser. * Open Tilix/Terminal and run `cd ~/.purism/purebrowser/` and find the USERSTRING.default directory. * Run the update in Software, or apt, to now migrate to Firefox ESR. * Then run `cp -r USERSTRING.default ~/.mozilla/firefox/` to move the profile folder over. * Now run `firefox -P` in Tilix/Terminal. * Select 'Create Profile' and then 'Next' * Enter a profile name or leave as it. Then Select 'Choose Folder'. * Click on your the USERSTRING.default directory that you just moved over and press 'Open'. * Click 'Finish' and 'Start Firefox'. * Firefox should load with all the tabs you had open before and everything else will have come over from PureBrowser. You are done! * **NOTE 1** If using a search engine other than Google, you'll need to go into the menu button on the top right - Preferences - Search - select your Search Engine of choice from the drop down. * **NOTE 2** We have transitioned from uBlock Origin to EFF's Privacy Badger. That should be the only difference in addons you see. Made with help from from Mozilla's excellent Firefox Knowledge Base.
