abrowser profile directory changed

I am on Trisquel 11 and I updated abrowser to find that all of my bookmarks were gone. After looking for a bit, I discovered the issue and found a fix.

The profile directory moved from ~/.mozilla/abrowser/ to ~/.config/mozilla/abrowser/ without migrating so it will appear that you are starting fresh without your bookmarks or tabs.

That data is not gone, but abrowser cannot see it.

I ran this command to see which profile was active previously.

ls -lah ~/.mozilla/abrowser/

I found dates of today and yesterday and my old active profile was in the ~/.mozilla/abrowser/wcg3p0wa.default-release directory. Your profile directory will have a different name.

I copied this to the new directory. Your profile directory will have a different name.

cp -a ~/.mozilla/abrowser/wcg3p0wa.default-release ~/.config/mozilla/abrowser/

I browsed with abrowser to the special profiles page URL.

about:profiles

I clicked on the Create a New Profile button.

I clicked on the Next button.

I clicked on the Choose Folder... button.

I pointed it to the folder I just copied over.

I clicked on the Finish button.

I closed abrowser.

I opened abrowser.

I was able to restore my session with my old tabs and see my bookmarks.

Hope this helps.
