How to find config file for a Firefox addon

I'm using HTML Validator, a Firefox plugin (available here: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/html-validator/)

But I've made a custom configuration (hiding some properties, etc.) and I want to share my configuration.

I don't know how I can extract this config file. Does anybody know where it is saved?

Solution

  • I don't use that particular add-on, but based on this (especially point 17), I guess the add-on's settings are stored as about:config preferences, with the names starting with tidy..

    If you're not familiar, about:config is the URL in Firefox which displays all (or almost all) the configuration settings of the browser.
