I can't find "localstore.rdf" in my profile folder.

So, I've been having problems keeping my Session Manager addon buttons on the toolbar. Every time Firefox restarts, they vanish and I have to add them again. I checked out MozillaZine's article on the corrupt localstore.rdf file to solve the problem, but when I go to actually edit the file, it's...Not there. I can't find it anywhere in my profile folder. So...How do I fix what's not even there to begin with?

Make sure that you look in the correct location for the Firefox profile folder

  • C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

...Oh wow, I'm an idiot. XP I looked at Local instead of Roaming. Found it, thanks a bunch!

You're welcome.

The location in AppData\Local is used for the disk cache and other larger files.
