How to backup firefox

  1. Tired of losing all you settings on FF?, tired of having to download/Install ALL your add-ons and themes every time you need a clean install?.

    Then get FEBE, totally backs up your FF bookmarks, addons, themes, bookmark thumbnail images etc, easy to use too.

    i use Mozilla BackUp cuz this programm can also backup my my thunderbird :)
     
  3. sounds good, whatever works, i just discovered this not long ago, was getting tiring having to re-install my long list of add-ons, especially if my installation went a bit loopy and i had to delete and reinstall.

    Nice. Unfortunately too late....switched over to Google Chrome...way faster and the Anti Popup works like a charm

    The_Jelly NSFW? :P

    Gotta love Chrome. However, it crashes sometimes because of the IDM integration :(
     
  7. I was talking about reinstalling FF not the whole OS :p

    Back in the day i made an image of my HDD with acronis true image, when i came to using it i found that i had to reinstall most of the programs anyway so i though "whats the point?".

    does this not happen anymore? the image will put everything back in working order without you having to delete and reinstall most of your software?

    i didn't have to reinstall the programs myself, i don't know what changes u made to the structure of the hard drive maybe? ... i never need to reinstall FF myself, just update when it is available :p
     
  9. i duno, i may try it, cus when my OS expires after 120 days ill format and reinstall till win8 comes out so making an image may speed things up a bit :p
