Where Does FireShot Save Captures and Settings?
FireShot saves captures into Downloads with its settings in per-profile browser extension storage.
Last updated
FireShot splits captures from options. Screenshots land as files in Downloads or a chosen folder. Settings, shortcuts, and editor preferences sit in extension storage per profile.
That split makes migration two-part. Export options for behavior and move the capture folder for history. PDF and upload actions need re-authorizing on the new profile regardless.
Where FireShot stores this, by platform
%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions (per profile)
Options and shortcuts per profile. Captures land in Downloads by default. Export settings and move captures as regular files.
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions (per profile)
Same model on Mac across Chromium and Firefox builds. Synced save folders roam captures automatically. Re-authorize uploads after moving.
~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions (per profile)
Chromium profiles under ~/.config and Firefox under ~/.mozilla. Same export workflow. Filenames template in options.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move FireShot to a new browser?
Export settings from the options, then set the same save folder on the new profile. Captures themselves live in Downloads and move as regular files.
Can FireShot save into cloud folders?
Yes through the save location option. Point captures at a synced folder and screenshots follow automatically. Filenames template from page title plus timestamp.
