The Firefox profile folder is already in a hidden location on all operating systems, but the Firefox profile folder as such doesn't have the hidden attribute.

"AppData" (XP: Application Data; Mac: ~/Library; Linux: ~/.mozilla) is a hidden folder.

The downloads folder is the default folder that Firefox uses to save downloaded files.

Can you attach a screenshot?

  • Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
  • Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB
