Where does FoxReplace store the Substitution Lists #363

My computer recently crashed and I'd like to copy my Substitution List from a backup of the old to the new computer, but I don't know where to look for it.

The easiest way is to copy the whole Firefox profile folder. The extension data is stored using Firefox APIs and ends in a SQLite file somewhere under the storage/default folder in your profile, but even if you find it is no easy way to extract the data from there.
