In linux, files are hidden because the file names start with a period. for example:
.file.txt would not normally be visible.
or, in a terminal, do :

to change to that directory and see its contents.
if you want to rename .mozilla/ such that it is visible, do :
Code:
mv -i .mozilla/ mozilla

Code:
mv -i mozilla/ .mozilla/
Of course, so simply view hidden files and dirs from the terminal, you use:
