I discovered one that is much easier to do than the manual method I posted on this webiste a few months ago. It’s call Mozbackup, and is a great piece of open source software.

To perform a backup, it’s real easy:

Run the program, and a window like this will come up:

Choose either to backup or restore. The next screen will ask you which profile you want to backup, and also where you want to save it:

After this, you will be asked whether you would like to set a password for the backup file. Choose your selection, and the following screen will allow you to select what items from your profile you wish to backup. I would say leave the defaults:

Easy as that! Done …….

Oh yeah …….. get it from here :-)

Damn I thought, I’ve lost all my bookmarks and firefox settings. However I had backed up my profile a few days before but wasn’t sure how to move it to my new computer seamlessly.

After a bit of googling and trial & error, I found the following way to work the best:

1. Exit Firefox
2. Start -> Run -> type ‘%APPDATA%’
3. Select Mozilla -> Firefox -> Profiles
4. Copy profile folder (XXXXXXX.default) and paste it to desired location (eg. C:\Firefox\Profiles)
5. Start -> Run -> type ‘firefox.exe -ProfileManager’
6. Click ‘Create Profile’
7. Click ‘Choose Folder’
8. Select the newly copied folder (eg. C:\Firefox\Profiles\XXXXXXX.default)
9. Now select the newly created profile and click ‘Start Firefox’ — check that all your cookies etc are there
10. Surf the net!
