1. Please run MX Tools/Quick System Info when you post help requests, then right-click paste into a reply. (Quick System Info automatically copies the information to the clipboard and formats it properly for the forum so all you have to do is paste it.)

2. MX probably created a new Firefox profile when you installed MX. You'll have to locate your old profile from Fedora and copy its contents into the new profile when Firefox isn't running.

Please read the Forum Rules, How To Ask For Help, How to Break Your System and Don't Break Debian. Always include your full Quick System Info (QSI) with each and every new help request.

I found the bug... all I had to do was make a folder called .mozilla & copy it's content from my old one... but it was too late I jumped back to Fedora 30 Xfce, I was using F29 GNOME 3/Cinnamon/MATE/Xfce... Then the problems started - my cheap HP AIO Printer was not recognized, had to use HP Drivers for the first time ever; been a user since F25! F30 Xfce has a 2x login bug (You Shall Not Pass, Unless You Do It Again & Cross Your Fingers), Dnfdragora Package Manger is buggy at times w/ updates.

I wish MXL would add to the Packages List:
GNU IceCat Browser
Otter Browser, it has the Old Opera 12.x Feel. (The New ChiCom-Opera I would NOT touch w/ a 10' Pole)
sK1 Vector Editor has a CorelDRAW feel about it, plus it reads my old Corel Clip Art CD 8}
Iridium Browser... I know Debian 10 Buster...
SeaMonkey Browser... It's coming back soon ;)
