by aaasolanki April 8, 2009 11:21 PM PDT: Why does everybody think each and every end-user over the globe has an always-on unlimited download internet connection? Over here in India, I need to pay around $1 for every 100 MB (i.e. Rs. 200 + taxes for 500 MB per month) that I use. Most of the applications being built nowadays are bandwidth hungry and always 'alive'. :-); Like this Reply to this comment

Use Mozbackup, it's much better. It backs up and restore your entire profile, including extensions

by dabroseph May 17, 2009 12:07 PM PDT: Ah, there we go. Who cares really about bookmarks and whatnot. What about all of us out here that use firefox that have easily over 30 extensions that we use and like? Do you think I care about bookmarks and open tabs when I want to backup firefox? Nope. I care about not having to download and install ALL the extensions that I have already.; Like this


by Timelord April 9, 2009 1:15 PM PDT: 2 other alternatives:
1 Is to archive the entire profile in the username/appdata/mozilla folder, then when you move to a new machine or your current machine crashes, all you have to do is restore the archive to it's original place, install Firefox, and your profile is "restored" including all your little tweaks.

The 2nd one is to use FEBE (http://customsoftwareconsult.com/extensions/febe/febe.html)

Neither of these options requires a net connection to do a backup or restore, and they allow you to move/store the backup in a place of YOUR choosing.; Like this Reply to this comment
