    Trying to copy Firefox settings but user has no mozilla folder 20H2


    I'm migrating from another machine and have copied my Firefox settings successfully but my wife's appdata folder has no mozilla entry. We are both administrator (if that matters). How do I proceed? TIA for any help.

    There is a Firefox backup tool. It will save all settings, bootmarks etc.

    RolandJS - I had neglected to install Firefox - had only downloaded it. Is that stupid enough? :)
