Where Does Falkon Store Profiles and Data?
Falkon config and profiles under ~/.config on Linux, the profiles subfolder, and moving to a new machine.
Last updated
Falkon follows KDE conventions with its config, profiles, bookmarks and history under a falkon folder in the XDG config home. Profiles sit in a profiles subfolder, so multiple identities stay separated without extra tools.
Falkon is a Linux first browser with no Mac build, so this single path covers its real user base. Windows builds exist through KDE binaries but keep their own layout, so this post scopes to Linux where the paths are stable. Copy the whole folder with Falkon closed to migrate.
Where Falkon stores this, by platform

Frequently asked questions
Where are Falkon bookmarks stored?
In the falkon config folder under ~/.config, in the bookmarks file. Copy it across machines with Falkon closed, or export from the bookmarks manager for a portable copy.
How do I run separate Falkon profiles?
Use the profile manager to create named profiles, which land as siblings in the profiles subfolder. Each keeps its own cookies, history and extensions.
