Backing up Firefox settings and preferences

 You are in the process of moving companies
and you want all the settings in your Firefox
browser on the new PC exactly as it was on
the old PC. How can you back up all of
your Firefox settings, themes, bookmarks,
extensions and customizations?

 A superb program called MozBackup
packages all your essential Firefox and
Thunderbird settings: bookmarks, mail,
contacts, history, extensions, cache etc.
Download the program from
http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/.
Install the
program and run it. Pick your Mozilla
program and your user and choose “Backup
a profi le.” You will be able to passwordprotect
your backup fi le. Please note that
you can’t run Firefox when you’re backing
up. When you’re done, the resulting .pcv
fi le will contain all your settings. Email the
fi le to your account and download it on
your new computer. Install MozBackup on
your new computer and run it. Now choose
the option “restore a profi le”. This should
set your Firefox in the same way you had it on your old computer.Rapid Application Development with Mozilla
