 '''.griffith''' - for those that use the griffith movie database.
-'''.mozilla''' - for Firefox users, this is a really important one. I've found a little trick that can save you oodles of time:
+'''.mozilla &/or moonchild productions''' - instead of copying out the contents of the alphanumeric directory & installing it into a new or other machine where you want to save yourself all of the time of setting up your browser (Firefox or Pale Moon). There is a brilliant add-on called FEBE, you'll find it here: [http://softwarebychuck.com/febe/febe.html] If I've done nothing else helpful for you in my efforts, this here little add-on really should make you grateful. :)
+It can even backup whatever parts of your Firefox/Pale Moon systems for you on a recurring basis. Check out FEBE, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
-You take the '''contents only''' of the
- ''~/.mozilla/firefox/<alphanumeric.code.defaults>/''
-directory, (you will know it when you see it) & copy it over the top of the contents of the same location on the new installation.
- It will have a '''different''' ''<alphanumeric.code>''
- which you must not change as it is the key
- to this trick.
-This will bring all of your Firefox settings including any & all of your add-ons/extensions & Bookmarks, to your new install or distro (it also works with BSD & Windows). Saving a LOT of work for some of us. Also copy over the ''~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini'' replacing the original file in the new distro.
 '''.themes''' - if you have a favourite or one that you have built or modified, then you most definitely want this folder.

 '''.xbmc''' - if you are one who uses this software you will be wanting this important directory.
