| Follow [[http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Profiles|these instructions]] to locate your profile directory. | Zotero's profile system is based on the [[https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data|Firefox profile system]]. |
| |
| Zotero itself doesn't tell Firefox how to handle a file---it simply checks if a file can be handled within Firefox (natively or via a plugin) and then either sends it to Firefox if so or otherwise launches it via the OS. Problems in mimeTypes.rdf can prevent this from working properly, however. | You can find your Zotero profile directory in the following location: |
| |
| === Zotero Standalone === | ^Mac|<code>/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Zotero/Profiles/<randomstring></code> <html><small>Note: The /Users/<username>/Library folder is hidden by default. To access it, click on your desktop, hold down the Option key, and click the Finder's Go menu, and then select Library from the menu.</small></html> | |
| | ^Windows 11/10/8/7/Vista|<code>C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\Zotero\Zotero\Profiles\<randomstring></code> <html><small>Note: If AppData is hidden on your system, click the search bar (or Start before Windows 10), type <code>%appdata%</code>, and press Enter, which should take you to the AppData\Roaming directory. You can then open the rest of the path.</small></html> | |
| You can find your Zotero Standalone profile directory in the following location: | ^Windows XP/2000|<code>C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Zotero\Zotero\Profiles\<randomstring></code>| |
