How to transfer extensions and user scripts to a new profile?
Transferring installed add-ons and user scripts to a new browser profile is often required when reinstalling the system, creating an isolated working environment, or separating personal and work tasks. Since simply installing extensions from the store does not always preserve their personal settings and local data, manually transferring the profile directory files becomes the most effective solution.
All application data is stored in a special system directory divided into logical blocks. The extensions folder has a unique numeric identifier for each plugin, making it easy to find and copy the required components. However, it is important to keep in mind that simple folder migration sometimes leads to version conflicts, so it is recommended to transfer only the most critical configuration files.
To safely transfer extensions and scripts, follow these steps:
After launching the browser with the new profile, the system will scan the copied files and automatically connect them. If some extensions require additional authorization, you will need to re-enter your credentials inside the plugins themselves to restore full functionality.
