Firefox also stores personal data in the Firefox profile folder in two locations (main profile and cache files, see about:cache).

  • /Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>/
  • /Users/<user>/Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>/Cache

In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.
