Backup Your Firefox Profile With FEBE

For me loosing my bookmarks or website login information is like a nightmare that’s why I regularly backup Firefox Using an extension called FEBE, I am using it for a long time and it has never let me down

It is a very powerful extension with a lot of configurable options, using it you can either backup the full profile or selected things e.g extension, themes, bookmarks, preferences, username and password, cookies, search plugins, userchrome files, browser history, form fill history, permission or a backup that you define, you can also use timestamp directories so that you can keep multiple backups and easily manage them (You can set the number of backups it should store), you can also schedule backups at a specific time either daily , weekly or monthly (Firefox must be running at that time) you can also set reminders if the backup somehow doesn’t gets created or you have not set up scheduled backups, febe also has a very good extension backing up support it can save all your extensions in a .XPI file so that you can easily install them again

The version available on the Firefox addon site isn’t compatible with Firefox 3 yet but there is a beta version on developer’s site, although the Firefox 3 version is in beta stage but still it works just fine, the developer has added some new features to this new version which weren’t there in the earlier versions like a quick backup feature, ability to upload your backups to a box.net file storage account  and there have been a few changes too like the result page now open up in a pop up window instead of a new tab which is in my opinion less intrusive

here is an example febe backup report:
