For example, enter the following in the Windows Run box (you should substitute the actual path to the installation directory):
#Firefox cookies location windows xp full#
You can also use the instructions given below for Firefox, substituting seamonkey.exe ( for Mozilla Suite, mozilla.exe) or the full path to the executable. SeaMonkey or Mozilla Suite: As an alternative to using "Tools -> Switch Profile." menu option (e.g., if SeaMonkey is not open) you can use the "Profile Manager" shortcut located in the Windows Start -> Programs menu (if available). Do not simply rename or delete the profile folder that contains your user data, as doing so can result in a profile cannot be loaded or a "profile in use"/"already running" message when you next attempt to run Firefox ( bug 278860).Close the application and make sure that it is not running in the background. In the Run box, type in %APPDATA% and click OK, then open the "Mozilla" folder and rename the "Firefox" folder.Ĭaution: Make sure that you rename or delete the entire Firefox profile folder, which includes the profiles.ini file that keeps track of profiles. (or, you can click "Start → Run." on Windows XP). For example, on Windows 7, press "Windows key + R" to open the Run box Rename (or delete) the Firefox folder in the default profile path (or move it to a backup location). This will remove your Firefox user profile data, which includes bookmarks, passwords, cookies, preference settings and added extensions. This step is only recommended if you want to completely remove Firefox from your system, and you do not want to save any of your data. Note: In Firefox 30 and below on Windows, you can use the Firefox uninstaller option, "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" ( see above) instead of following these instructions. You may also need to manually change some Windows file associations or icons, even after setting a new default browser, as reported here. Revo uninstaller) since these tools can sometimes do more harm than good! Also avoid using 3rd party uninstallers (e.g. Note: Registry editing is a potentially hazardous undertaking. Normally, these extra entries are harmless and it is not necessary to remove them. The Firefox uninstall will leave behind some Windows registry entries. Windows Vista and above: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Mozilla\ Firefox and C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Mozilla\ updates and/or C:\Users\\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\ Mozilla Firefox (if found).Windows 2000/XP: C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\ Firefox.Deleting the wrong folder will remove your user profile data! Folders containing temporary Firefox data ( *.mfl files, Cache and Updates), which would be located here, if not removed by the uninstall process (you'll need to show hidden files and folders): Important: Make sure you delete the folder(s) under Local Settings or Local.

Windows XP and above: Delete all C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\FIREFOX* files.
