Backup Software For Settings Of Mozilla Firefox !!

A great program called MozBackup packages up all your essential Firefox and Thunderbird settings: bookmarks, mail, contacts, history, extensions, cache etc. The newest release of this essential utility for all Firefox users now supports popular extensions Scrapbook and Tabbrowser Preferences.

Download MozBackup for Windows. Install the app and run it. Pick which Mozilla program and which user and choose "Backup a profile." You will be able to password-protect your backup file if you'd like. (Click to enlarge the screenshot.)



Firefox or Thunderbird can't be running while the backup is created. When you're done, the resulting .pcv file (which is really just a zip file) will contain all your settings. Email it to yourself and save it on your new work computer. Download and install MozBackup there and run it, this time choosing to "Restore a profile" rather than back up. That should set up your Firefox exactly how you had it at your old office.

Coincidentally, it's a great idea to run MozBackup before you install new Firefox extensions that are in development or that you fear might bork up your profile directory. Your backed up profile lets you rollback easily.

Good luck at the new job!
