Can I copy Firefox and Chrome add-ons?

[LeandrodaFL]

Hello, I need to install chrome and firefox on a another mac, a macmini 2010 with snow leopard 10.6. Firefox and chrome versions are 49 and 48. I already have these apps on a macbook white 2010 with a time machine backup.

I simply copied the application icon, wich is the applicatiion itself I believe. But it did not come with the add-ons, like download helper and IG story. Where are these files located in finder? Would simply copying them work?

The process is long. The folder for the add-on's name is hashed (alphanumeric).

Is it impossible to download from Chrome Extension Store?

Solved, by copying the entire "Application Support" folder. (I deleted the old one first)
