Why there is no webappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox profiles folder?

Question

I would like to read local storage saved by Firefox. From this question I found out that the local storage has to be in the

\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\????????.default

folder. But in my case it is not there. I thought that maybe Firefox disable JavaScripts or does not accept cookies. But it does not seem to be the case.

So, where can I find local storage created by Firefox?

You mean the default profile or the sqlite database is missing? What's your FF version? — approxiblue, Oct 19 '15 at 05:13
I think I need sqlite databases. I want to see the content of local storage. — Roman, Oct 21 '15 at 07:49

Try opening about:support (by typing it in the address bar) and then click "Show Folder" under Application Basics -> Profile Folder.

If you use Windows 7 check this path:

AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\webappsstore.sqlite

Thank you! I just need to add that in the `AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\``I have `*.default` folder and there (in this sub-folder) I do have `webappsstore.sqlite`. – Roman Oct 27 '15 at 16:32

It seems that your profile folder is wrong folder.You can find profile folder, by use path variable "appdata" like "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles" in wondows os.Answer above is correct too.In this folder will be other folder like "xxxxxxxx.default", in that folder you can find sqlite file. Read this articale about profile folder location.
