unknown folder (.mozilla)

[em.ci]

Hi,

Do anybody has an idea for what the folder .mozilla are for? It's almost on every cpanel account. One of this Accounts was created on 2016-03-05 but the time-stamp for the folder ".mozilla" are "2014-03-05".

The folder ".mozilla" contains some sub-folders too. One is called "extensions" and the other "plugin" without any content. Timestamp of these folders are "2010-08-18.

Best Regards,
emci

Hello

Do you have any Mozilla or Firefox packages installed on your system? EX:

rpm -qa|grep mozilla
rpm -qa|grep firefox

Thank you.

Hi Michael

I get this result when I try rpm -qa|grep mozilla:

mozilla-filesystem-1.9-5.1.el6.x86_64

I never noticed this package. Do you know for what that is used for?

Thanks.

It's not a package that's related to cPanel. Thus, it's likely it was manually installed via YUM or included in an image used when installing the operating system. It's discussed at:

CentOS • View topic - Why is there a folder ./mozilla in non-GUI operating system?

Thank you.
