    Firefox backup - FEBE?

    Has anyone ever used this to backup Firefox things before?

    http://customsoftwareconsult.com/ext...febe/febe.html

    If so, is it any good?

    I want to export everything from FF (extensions, settings, autocomplete fields, cookies etc) over to my new system.

    Mike, you can simply copy the contents of your Mozilla profile folder to the new machine. I do this frequently to sync my desktop to my laptop. Have a look in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla. Copy the Firefox folder to the new machine, deleting any folder wiht the same name that has been created by the Firefox installer. Make sure you're using the same version of Firefox on each machine.

    I've also used MozBackup for both Firefox and Thunderbird and found it excellent.

    I didn't want to take my full profile folder as it had got filled with rubbish left over from old extensions.
