Metamask vault location in Windows 10 Firefox - windows

The location of the Metamask vault for Chrome on Windows 10 is $HOME_DIR/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Default/Local Extension Settings/nkbihfbeogaeaoehlefnkodbefgpgknn.
I'm looking for the location of metamask settings in Windows 10 for Firefox.
I would expect to find the vault here:
$HOMEDIR\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ but it is not there.
No answer in that thread: https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/issues/2749
What is the mysterious place the vault is hidden?
EDIT
Searched for AppData folder, nothing is found.

What does "workspace id:s" do in an RDP file?

I am debugging an RDP connection, and in the .rdp file there is a flag
workspace id:s:my-rdp-host.example.com
I see this parameter included in examples in many places on the internet like StackOverflow and in Microsoft support. But, no one ever explains what it does. It is not even listed in the official docs for RDP.
So, does anyone know what the workspace id:s: setting does in an RDP file?
This value seems to appear in remote application session when mouse is over rdp icon in task bar. For example see the icon where i set: workspace id:s:test

Is there a way to password protect a file in Windows 10?

I was looking through some of the files of an application I downloaded and tried to view the contents of some of them, however, I was prompted to enter a password to the file which triggered me to ask how that was possible and how I could do it.
Attempts
I tried using the "Encrypt contents to secure data" option of file explorer and then changing the encryption key with certmgr, but it didn't work.
I tried seeing if there was a built-in windows zip folder password option but it seems that it was removed (I know that 7zip works but I mean its not the same)
So is there a way to password protect files?
I am using Windows 10 Pro Education with a KMS server

How to install unpacked extension in firefox & chrome?

i have created extension by using crossrider they gave me xpi & crx file which i extracted and want to install manually by copying data to the browser's extension path.
I've read & tried many posts regarding this but they are not helpful because i think some posts are old & not able to find target paths & registry.
like in many posts they say create the following key in the registry here
32-bit Windows: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Google\Chrome\Extensions
but i couldn't find that on my windows registry & i am using 32bit.
i want something like i copy my extension data to the browser's extension directory & inject some registry value thats all. if it possible then How?
For firefox just add the xpi or unpacked folder to the profile folder. No need for registry so its cross platform.
It can't be automatic as spyware would be all over that. After placing xpi in the extensions folder of the profile, on next startup of Firefox it will prompt saying it found an unauthorized by user add-on, and gives user a chance to enable it, or keep it disabled.
If you want to do it without startup, just launch the file path to the xpi or unpacked folder (if unpacked folder doesnt work, then point it to the install.rdf) in the browser, user will be prompted if they want to install.
There are some registry options though: Install Firefox extension using Windows registry
In Chrome, it's no longer possible to add an extension programmatically on Windows unless the extension is actually published in the Store.
This is for security reasons: previous registry-based (and otherwise) methods were open to malware abuse.
If your extension is published in the store, you can add it semi-automatically via registry. The user will still be asked whether to enable it on the next load.
You can also install extensions silently using Enterprise policy (only if the machine is part of a Windows domain and you have admin rights on the domain policy), on other OSes, or load it unpacked for testing with the --load-extension command line switch (will not persist after Chrome is restarted).
In Chrome go to
chrome://extensions
Enable Developer Mode at the top and click on the button to load an extracted extension.

smb (windows share links) open protocol change

Is it possible to instruct my windows 8.1 machine to open links like these:
smb://c:\path to some folder\
in windows explorer?
Right now, Internet Explorer automatically comes up in response to a request to open smb:// link and says No apps are installed for this type of link (smb) - [Look for an app in the Store]
(The reason I have this problem is because I use mediawiki on my machine and have links to folders and files on some pages. I'd like to be able to click them from any computer on my network and be able to see the file/folder right away).
Many thanks.
Suppose you have a link like:
smb://a.b.com/public/
In windows you can open that in the file explorer this way:
\\a.b.com\public\

HTML link to directory in a Samba share, that works on Internet Explorer 7/8

I want my HTML page to link to a directory in a Samba share (protocol SMB/CIFS Windows share).
In my HREF I wrote file://server/Share2/folder3
Most browsers handle it fine (mount the share and open a file manager on folder3) except Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8, which say Permission denied without even asking for a password.
What should I write in the HREF for IE7/8 to be able to open folder3?
Notes:
It works fine if the path does not contain the folder3 part.
It works fine if the share is already mounted. So before testing it, type "net use" to make sure that no share is already mounted.
The Windows username and the share username are not the same, so a popup should ask for a login/password. Again, this works fine if the path does not contain the folder3 part.
The correct syntax for file:// links is:
file:///path/on/local/computer
file://server/share/folder
So in your case try file://server/Share2/folder3
Check if this is fixed by adding the share to trusted sites in IE.
(Eg, internet options security, trusted sites)
