How to keep Firefox profile data on SD card?

My Sony Xperia ZR is running out of internal memory. One of the culprits happens to be Firefox which seems to be occupying around 350+ MB of space.
I have a separate SD card and wish to either move Firefox completely to it or at least move the profile data to it so that it frees up space.
How do I do it?

How to override this security setting?
I am not that concerned about security. I would rather have some usable free space in my internal memory.
This will be felt very badly in devices with low internal memory.

  • How to reset firefox profile if it crashes on start (also safe mode)

    Hello,
    I need to know how to make Firefox do a profile reset when it crashes on start even in safe mode. It starts fine with a new profile.
    I had this before today, and then after the 3rd crash report send, a popup offered me a solution to reset my profile while retaining the most important settings. I tried that option and it worked. But I could no longer sync my password with the new sync because of a master password set. I find this a show stopper, so I did a profile restore (mozbackup), I wish I didn't have.
    I now have the same problem again with Firefox crashing, but it no longer offers the popup with a solution by trying safe mode (i did manually doesn't work) or resettting the profile.
    I need to know a command line switch the make Firefox reset the profile while retaining the important data or how to force it show the pop-up.
    Thanks a lot, I'm really pulling my hair out over this and need my Firefox experience back!
    Thank you
    Regards

    Note that a profile created via a reset still can carry over issues because some data is recovered automatically.
    If you use the Profile Manager then you get a completely clean profile and if that works then you can copy files yourself to the new profile or possibly try to identify what is wrong and repair your previous profile.
    You only see button to Reset Firefox on the "Help > Troubleshooting Information" page and in the Safe Mode startup window if you use the profile that is marked as Default=1 in the profiles.ini file (Profile Manager).
    If you do not have the "Reset" button then either use the Profile Manager to create a new profile or use the Profile Manager to start with the current default profile to get the Reset button in Firefox.

  • How to keep Firefox from changing download designations

    Here's the problem with latest Firefoxes (15-17) as well as Palemoon:
    Create three folders on your desktop - name them A, B and C. Now open up Firefox. Go to webpages that have multiple images to download. Click open the images from the various webpages while holding down the Ctrl key.. You will now have multiple tabs of the various images. Now open each tab with an image, right click the image, save as a random name and make the download designation folder A. Do this for all tab images.
    Now go back to the first tab image, right click the image, save as a random name and make the download designation folder B. Continue doing this for remaining tab images. As soon as you attempt to download an image from a different webpage, Firefox will change the download designation to folder A.
    Typically when you set a download designation in a browser, the designation does not change unless you manually change it. Firefox will keep changing the download folder for each new webpage with images.
    Now do the same as the last paragraph but save the images to folder C. As soon as you get to an image from different webpage, Firefox will (I do not see why it is doing it) change the download folder to either A or B, but not C.

    You can clear the "Site Preferences" via Clear Recent History to remove already stored data.
    Note that clearing "Site Preferences" also clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
    You can delete the content-prefs.sqlite file in the Profile Folder to only remove settings stored in this file and keep the exceptions that are stored in permissions.sqlite.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • ITunes installed on a new drive with music on an old drive: how to keep the music data?

    I had iTunes installed on my old HDD with all my music on it. It was the drive C:\
    I just installed a new SSD (now the C:\ drive) in my computer. I also installed iTunes on it. I want to leave my music on my old HDD (now the G:\ drive). I can scan with iTunes for my music on my old G:\ drive, but that means I won't have the star ratings nor the play count...
    I tried to copy and paste the iTunes Library.xml from my old G:\ to my new C:\. When I opened iTunes, it had all my music and the data, but I had to locate manually every single song (in a 7000+ songs library, this is a bit of a problem).
    Is there a way to edit the iTunes_library.xml file to change the path of every song in it (from C:\ to G:\) since this seems to be the issue? Or how could I keep my music on my G:\ drive and itunes on my C:\ drive while keeping my music data?
    Thank you!

    Hello papapavvv,
    Thank you for providing so much information about what is going on.  It sounds like you have your iTunes Library on your G:\ drive, but it sounds like iTunes is not opening iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive.  Follow these steps to point iTunes to your G:\ drive:
    Steps to create or choose a different iTunes Library file
    If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
    You should see the following screen:
    Additional information
    If you do not see the screen above, then you did not hold the correct key at the correct time. You may want to try again. Note that if you pinned iTunes to the Start menu programs, and open it that way, it may not work.
    Once you select "Choose Library," you will need to navigate to the iTunes Library.itl file on your new external drive.

  • CRM - SAP ECC 6.0- How to keep creation user data

    Hello gurus,
    I'm working on a SAP project which scope is CRM - ECC6.0 (IS-U +SD) - BI 7.0 and we are facing an issue trying to extract from IS-U the user who created a business operation.
    You have to know that process designed is :
    - business operation is created in CRM (as for business partner, contract account ...) by a user A.
    - business operation is replicated from CRM to IS-U
    - Communication user set up is called RFCUSER.
    So that every business operations created in CRM, is created in IS-U and get mentioned in user creation area : RFCUSER instead of user A.
    Similarly when an business operation is modified from ISU to CRM, the modification user is RFCUSER.
    This is an issue when we try to know which user has created this business operation in ISU. We must go in CRM to read data.
    So I want to konw if it's possible to change the communication user (make every user a communication user. It seems to be the worst solution, or if we can change bdoc structure exchange to keep creation user data, or if a customizing exists to solve this issue).
    Thanks in advance for your answers.
    Jacques Toubon.

    Hello
    Please give me suggestions on prerequisites for upgrade.
    Start with these SAP notes and the guide.
    https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001228732011
    1566412 - Enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0: Required SWC
    1496212 - EHP6 for SAP ERP 6.0 SP stacks - Release & Information Note
    1598141 - SAP Enhancement Package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0:Compatible Add-ons
    1.How can we decide it is one step proces or two step process?
    Upgrade from EHP4 to EHP6 is a single upgrade.
    Bear in mind that EHP6 needs a higher version of OS and DB.
    Please check PAM for supported OS and DB for EHP6
    2.can we skip shadow instance creation step??
    Download the SUM guide and read the chapter "Preconfiguration Mode Planning" and the "Current Capabilities" section. Here is the SUM guide for SAP on Unix with Oracle.
    https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000783532011E
    There are different upgrade scenarios. The section "Recommendations for Choosing the Preconfiguration Mode" explains the use of each mode and the mode you should select.
    3.can we copy sum tool in /usr/sap/sid/sum??
    Yes you can. But I suggest you to create a new file system called /usr/sap/SID/SUM for the upgrade purpose instead of creating a directory called SUM under /usr/sap/SID file system.

  • How to put Firefox Profiles directory on an external disk?

    I am using Firefox (and Thunderbird) on my Mac at home and at work. I use an external disk where I have all my files and which I transport forth and back. I easily included the Thunderbird Profiles directory so that I can read and treat my mail in both location. I am unable to do the same with the Firefox Profiles directory and it is somewhat frustrating.

    Jacques.
    What you probably need can be found in a different distribution of Firefox called Portable Firefox:
    http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
    It's the same exact version of Firefox, but it's portable, and you can install it (profile folders and all) in whatever place you want. See this page for support on that distribution:

    If the chirp signal you are generating is all real valued, there will be no Q component.

  • How to keep the real data if number length bigger than 15 in excel format

    i have a bank card number column in report, the data type is varchar , and the data is always number , the length is bigger than 15, now if i download the report as excel format, this column's data will alwasys change to something like "5.41321E+17", and due to this, i just format this column to custom=0, but all data will change the last number to "0" like "460025198509180000", this is what i do not wanted.
    how to solve this problem? thanks in advance
    Kaymo
    Edited by: user10740102 on Jun 11, 2009 1:23 AM

    it's because Excel is thinking that it's a number....try changing the formula for the column from Table.ColumnName to the following
    '"'||Table.ColumnName||'"' (or use CONCAT - it's the same)
    This will show quotes and when you download to excel - it'll drop the quotes and keep the number

  • How to transfer firefox profile from a PC (Windows 7) to iMac (OS X Lion).

    Hello,
    I recent purchased an iMac and want to transfer all my bookmarks, settings, cookies, saved passwords and etc from my old PC. The PC is running windows 7 and my iMax is using OS X Lion. I've copied all the Mozilla Folder from my PC onto a USB drive. I've tried to copy all this info on to my iMac, but it doesn't see it. My bookmarks and stuff doesn't appear when I open Firefox on the iMac. Any ideas would be Greatly Appreciate!
    Thanks,
    Dennis

    Hello Dennis,
    You may export your firefox bookmarks or back them up from Windows 7 and then you should be able to import those into your Firefox installed on the Mac.
    You could also use Firefox sync, that will sync even more than just bookmarks and is probably the easiest method.
    Bookmarks — including all tags, keywords, folders, and your custom menu order
    Passwords
    Preferences/Options of Firefox (but not of add-ons)
    History of sites visited in the last 60 days
    Tabs and tab groups
    See

  • How to keep firefox from constantly downloading mavericks,which it can'open?

    I tried to update to mavericks,but am unable to open the files to install. From what I have read this is probably a good thing; however now firefox keeps on downloading the files and I can't seem to make it stop. Each time I open firefox the whole process starts again..

    You should actually update to mavericks, it's a good solid update and plus, your version of Mac isn't getting security updates anymore, meaning it's vulnerable to attack (despite public opinion Mac isn't invulnerable).
    This isn't really a Firefox question anyway..... You install Mavericks via the App store, not through Firefox. http://www.macworld.com/article/2056564/how-to-install-mavericks-over-leopard.html

  • How to keep up to date with Sun Application Server 9.1

    Hi All: I'm just starting out deciding between Tomcat and Sun Application Server 9.1. Is there a patch number on SunSolve so I can keep the product up to date with any fixes?
    Any comments on which way to go for this for .war applications that do not have EJBs?
    Thanks,
    Rich

    Hello,
    recently I upgraded from Sun AppServer 9.1 U1 to U2. I downloaded Glassfish V2 U2, what is equivalent to AppServer 9.1 U2. Installing this download there is an option to upgrade the domain of an existing installation of the AppServer.
    This worked pretty well.

  • How to keep firefox from getting the cannot find server error

    I just recently fixed my computer from a nasty spyware problem that required me to manipulate some registry values. After solving the problem, firefox seems to work but only for a very limited time before I'm unable to load any pages. I then close firefox and reopen to find out that it can no longer find the server and have to constantly restart my computer in order to have access to the internet again. However the access to firefox still only lasts for a limited time before I have to restart again. I'm sure this isn't a connection issue because everyone else in the house has no problems.

    Nope.
    If you launch Mail, you get mail.
    You can only stop if from loading if your DON'T launch Mail.
    You can also decide how much to have it load, and how far back.
    The other option is to turn off Wifi before you launch Mail.
