How to backup/restore addon settings manually?
I want to transfer the settings of the Drag & Dropzones addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/drag-dropzones/ from my old profile to my new profile. Is there way to do this manually? I looked in my profile but i couldn't find the settings files of the addon and it doesn't have option for exporting the settings.

Extension settings are typically stored in about:config (prefs.js). Check the "extensions." section for that addon name.
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

It has some settings stored in about:config, but not all. I guess i have to recreate manually the search engines configuration.
