Locate directory for Firefox 'block image host' list?

BlackScarletLove · September 16th, 2011

I'd like to find the list of all the blocked image hosts on firefox so I can transfer them over to another computer easily.

All I could find online was this:
Extract your list of blocked images hosts from Firefox database | commandlinefu.com

and I don't understand how to use the command. Maybe someone knows?

That is for linux. If you were to install sqlite 3 on windows a similar command would work - you'd just need to adjust paths accordingly.

hmm, i dont know what sqlite is or how to use it or how to adjust paths... can you tell me?

**LordOfLA** · September 17th, 2011

google for sqlite

and you'll want to be looking in c:\users\<yourname>\appdata\<roaming or local>\ for the paths described in the command you found.

Thats because you didn't follow my instructions. Do so.

Why not just copy the profile folder over to the other computer?

The permissions.sqlite file will be in your profile.

Location is different depending on the OS.

This may lead you to what you seek:

Profile folder - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

you didnt make your instructions clear enough. do so.

I couldn't be any clearer. Take the linux command, change the path for the example I showed you replacing your username where necessary and poke around.

I'm assuming you are an intelligent person capable of figuring things out on your own. Should I be assuming otherwise?

lol intelligence has nothing to do with the assumption of technical savvy, but thanks for insulting me and showing your true intelligence. try not to get too personally involved with those super-fragile emotions, okay pal? it's just a technical question.

**LordOfLA** · September 19th, 2011

Savvy has nothing to do with it. I was kind of assuming that having pointed you in the right direction you would figure the rest out yourself, thus learning something new and remembering for similar issues you may run in to in the future.

For reference the linux path starts ~ and is seperated by / characters - I trust you can figure the rest out on your own?

You're a very assumptive, trusting fella.
