FEBE (Firefox Extension Backup Extension)
This Firefox Extension is a tool to back up your profiles, extensions, themes, etc… Very useful if you use multiple browsers from multiple systems (work/office/home). You can even use FEBE to transfer your existing stuff from Netscape 9 to Firefox (vice-versa). Very helpful.
Remember this, you will only realize the importance of backup when it’s already too late. So, word from the wise (take it from me, i lost tons of stuff because of Windows’ crashes!) – backup your gazillion Firefox extensions now (before it’s too late).
Here’s a writeup from the Firefox site:
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up — It will actually rebuild your extensions individually into installable .xpi files. Now you can easily synchronize your office and home browsers.
FEBE backs up your extensions, themes, and (optionally) your bookmarks, preferences, passwords, cookies and just about everything else Firefox offers (it can even backup/restore your entire profile).
Backups can be performed on demand or scheduled for daily, weekly, or monthly unattended runs.
A comprehensive debug mode allows for troubleshooting complex platforms.
Version 4.0 supports Windows XP and Linux/Unix.
Version 5.0 (in beta – available at http://customsoftwareconsult.com/extensions/febe/febe50.html) supports Mac OS X also. In addition, user-defined backups will allow for backing up most any data from most any application (including Thunderbird).
Ok, after you read this – download it here.
Have a crash-free weekend.
