Moving Mozilla tools from Linux to Mac

To move your Firefox and Thunderbird profile and settings from Linux to Mac. All you have to do is to copy (or create a tarball) the profile. On Linux the profiles are located under:

~/.mozilla/filefox/extentions
~/.mozilla/filefox/<profile>.default
~/.thunderbird/<profile>.default

where <profile> is replaced with your profile name, usually named something cryptic, like: an8e24f4.defaultOnce you have them copied or backed up to your, stick, dropbox, drive account. Or if you copy them using scp. You'll need to place, extract them on your Mac box. On mac they're placed in:

~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Extentions
~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/<profile>.default
~/Library/Thunderbird/ <profile>.default

Creating a profile with Firefox will help you synchronize your Firefox data. So this kind of copying is not needed again. Unless you're restoring from a backup. And I assume you know the cp/scp/tar commands.
