Which file(s) is used to store Settings and about:config?

And which files are not needed for normal run?
eg.? Data\profile\datareporting\archived

Firefox Profile

Some folder settings seems incorrect!?

Thanks. But the About Profiles page shows that both "default-release" and "default" are pointing to "C:\Users\NOOB\AppData\***\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\***", strange.

about:plugins is correct though...
Looks like prefs.js has all the settings.

Firefox Bug

That's due to Firefox not handling -profile switches within the about profiles page. You can ignore that. Anything placed in those folders is moved back and forth by the launcher at runtime.
