How To Backup Your Firefox Extensions, Bookmarks, And Cookie

[Admin]

Hi for you all ..

i was searching for this topic and i have found some nice infos and i like to share it with you ..

I like working with Firefox, but I need my add-ons/extensions installed inside it: that can improve and make your browsing experience way better, and not having my add-ons installed makes me feel naked, or more like I miss a part of my self.

Thankfully, there is an extension called FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) that can help you to backup your extensions easily.

Febe lets you to backup Mozilla Firefox extensions and settings so you can restore it anytime and anywhere you want to

It does not only backup extensions: in fact, it can make backups of themes, bookmarks, profiles, cookies, passwords and just about anything inside Firefox.

Backups can be performed manually or automatically using a pre-determined schedule, choosing between two types of backups:

* A full profile backup will backup everything inside Firefox in a single .xpi file and you can use it as a single extension, to restore full custom settings wherever you want.
* A selective backup allows you to select what you want to backup, and it will store the backups in their own .xpi file.

In this way, a user can select extensions to restore add-ons one by one, making a selection of the most useful ones.

To get started, open up your Firefox and Install FEBE, then restart Firefox to activate this extension.

First of all I will explain how to backup all of your Firefox settings using the Full Backup:



1. On the menu bar, click Tools -> FEBE -> FEBE Options.
2. For backup type, select ?Full profile? on the ?Options? tab.
3. On the ?Directory? tab, select where you want to save your backup.
4. Select ?Use timestamped directories? to differentiate backups based on date of creation.
5. Click OK to finalize what you have set above .
6. Again click Tools -> FEBE -> Perform Backup.
7. Wait for the backup end.

Now let?s see how to selectively backup Firefox settings using the Selective Backup:

1. On the menu bar, click Tools -> FEBE -> FEBE Options.
2. Under backup type, select ?Selective? on the ?Options? tab.
3. Select what you want to backup in the ?Backup items? section. For this how-to, I will only backup my Firefox extensions and themes.
4. On the ?Directory? tab, select where you want to save your backup.
5. Select also ?Use timestamped directories? to differentiate backups in different sub-folders, based on date it was created.
6. Click OK to finalize the settings above.
7. On the menu bar click Tools -> FEBE -> Perform Backup.
8. Wait for the backup end.



Now you need to learn how to restore your backups which is really easy and intuitive.

On the menu bar, click Tools -> FEBE -> Restore and then select what you want to restore. FEBE will prompt you to select your backup files inside one of your backup folders.

The extension is obviously free to download and install.
