Firefox sync only synced my data partially after i logged into my new mac so i decided to copy all the contents under my profile dir to new mac. It did not help and none of my history,bookmarks or saved passwords is show n.

Steps: Created a tarball Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/o9lkvypu.default-1416122109482

Moved this tarball into my new computer

New mac has it own default folder-> Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/7vlkvyhr.default

Untar it on my new mac and rename 'o9lkvypu.default-1416122109482' to '7vlkvyhr.default'


While doing all the firefox is not running

Does your profile contain "parent.lock" file?

grep -nir "parent.lock" .

Binary file ./7vlkvyhr.default/o9lkvypu.default-1416122109482/webappsstore.sqlite matches

Looks like i have instances of parent.lock

??? I don't get it. Is o9lkvypu.default-1416122109482 inside of 7vlkvyhr.default folder? Something gone wrong with renaming.

I deleted the profile folder and re-created them to fix the problem with copying.

1.Now I see my firefox is continuously crashing

2. grep -nir "parent.lock" . Binary file ./7vlkvyhr.default/webappsstore.sqlite matches
