Where are Firefox IndexedDB files stored?

Question

If I create an IndexedDB in Firefox 4, where are the files stored on my hard drive? Preferably for Win7, but the path is probably similar across OSes.

Answer 1

This post suggests the following location:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application 
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<xxxx>.default\indexedDB\<databaseid>

The <xxxx>.default folder is your profile directory, which is where Firefox keeps basically everything.

Thanks! That is the WinXP file path. Here is the Win7 file path: C:\Users[USERNAME]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles[PROFILE_NAME]\indexedDB – Oleograph

Chrome on Windows 8.1: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\IndexedDB – Paterson

My Firefox 31 keeps it in &AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ [PROFILE_NAME]\storage\persistent\ [ORIGIN]\idb\ – Linguini

Answer 2

In Firefox 105.x (2022), the indexedDB are in

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<xxxx>.default\storage\default\<weborigin>\idb

The <xxxx>.default is the Firefox Profile directory. The <weborigin> is the tag describing the original website which produced the database.

Is the data encrypted? I cannot see the original value in SQLite tables like object_data. If it is encrypted, is there a way to edit it through SQLite instead of executing JavaScript code in Firefox DevTools? – Caton

@Caton From my experience, it's not encrypted. If you have a problem to access the data, maybe you should ask a question on SO. – Mcgannon
