Backup your Firefox profile!

If you are a big fan of Mozilla Firefox like me, you know that Firefox is very customizable. But the downside is that if you somehow lose all your data (virus attack, re-format, new OS install, new PC) you may want to recover these settings.

This method backs up your:

  • bookmarks
  • extensions aka addons
  • session backups (especially if you are using TabMix Plus)
How to go around doing this:
  1. Open Firefox, type this into the address bar - about:support
  2. After you type that, you get a page called Troubleshooting Information
  3. Click on “Open Containing Folder”.
  4. This will up  the folder where your Firefox profile is stored.
  5. Go back to Profiles and copy your profile folder, to wherever you want to back it up.
