I’ve been working on switching from macOS to Linux. I tried moving my Firefox profile (actually Zen Browser but I don’t think it makes a big difference) but it was very laggy when opening, and addons didn’t work. So I’m just gonna do it the safe way: exporting my session with Tab Session Manager, places.sqlite file (which contains browsing history), bookmarks, addon data, and using syncing. I’m wondering how well copy and pasting the profile folder between OSes worked for other users.

    Super well, I’ve moved the same profile between Windows, Mac and Linux with no issues.
    Never managed to do the same with Chrome.

      Ditto. Extensions and what not all magically follow along too, it’s nice.
