Hi,
I'm trying to migrate my old XP Firefox persdict.dat file content over to Windows 8.
It is not where it was supposed to be.
c:\Users\JohnDoe\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Unique-1234-ID\persdict.dat
The only persdict.dat file I can find is for Thunderbird. (I'm fairly certain the apps don't share a file.)
I go to Firefox and type something into a random website's comments (“dorkdorkdork”), and right click and save that to the Firefox custom dictionary, but I'm not able to find that string anywhere on the PC??
So if I go to C:\ and F3 to search for “dorkdorkdork”, it should be able to find that text on the machine – right? Since the unique text is in a standard unencrypted text file....somewhere.
Thanks!
