As mentioned, I found that a file or two in the Firefox profile needed editing when transferred between Linux and Windows because of line termination characters. That could explain loss of some settings. Some settings you can export and then import, e.g., site passwords: support.nordpass.com/hc/en-us/articles/… | |

| Nov 22, 2023 at 7:12 | comment | added | Jerome | Thanks for your answer. I have tried the command line suggestion and it actually seems to work, at least partially as I do find the pinned tabs but not all settings though. The "Selecting profile in Chrome" part refers to sync profiles which is different to what I am looking for; indeed this seems to not retrieve the setttings I want. Overall, the command line trick makes my profiles showing up in the profiles menu of chrome. Many thanks | |
