Back up and restore your Firefox environment with FEBE

http://www.linux.com –

The Firefox browser stores not only a user's bookmarks, history, saved forms, and usernames and passwords, but frequently also several extensions and themes. When you're switching computers or distro-hopping, replicating the browser environment can be tricky and time-consuming. But with the Firefox Environment Backup Extension (FEBE), you can back up and restore everything Firefox can hold, and then some. FEBE can back up bookmarks, preferences, cookies, usernames and passwords, Firefox's phishing data, search plugins, browser history, form fill history, themes and extensions, and even complete user profiles. If you want to back up other files or folders, such as email messages saved in Mozilla's Thunderbird email client, FEBE lets you define custom backup items as well. While restoring, FEBE reinstates your personal settings for all extensions. You can use FEBE to create backups anytime you want to, or schedule automatic backups and keep multiple time-stamped copies. Like all Firefox extensions, installing FEBE involves only pointing the browser to FEBE's homepage and clicking the green button that reads "Install Now." After installation and subsequent restart, FEBE's icon will appear in Firefox's status bar, in the bottom left corner.
