   When I move my Firefox profile, why does some websites and extensions remember my settings etc, and others don't?

   Like Phanpy had forgotten everything, but I was still logged in to my instance. I was still logged in to Reddit, but RES had forgotten my settings, etc.

   Aren't all cookies and settings saved in the profile folder?

   #Firefox

     @forteller they might be saved in `localstorage` in the browser, which is separate from cookies, but easier to work with in JavaScript. I don’t think localstorage is stored in the profile
