How To Backup And Restore Mozilla Firefox Profiles
After the first time I downloaded Mozilla Firefox I was so impressed by it that I started playing with it instead of playing Crysis. So how do I save this heavy profile of mine? Fortunately there are ways to backup your stuff without losing any of them.
Let’s get started:
1. Navigate to MozBackup and download the software.
2. After downloading the software, close your Firefox browser and then double click and install MozBackup.
3. Click the Next button in the dialog box that has just popped up.
4. Click I Agree button and then proceed.
5. Now specify the directory where MozBackup has to be installed and click Next.
6. Open the program by starting it from the desktop or goto the Start menu and open it.
7. Click Next in the Popup dialog box and then it detects the browsers on your computer.
8. Select Mozilla Firefox in our case or for that matter any browser.
9. Next select the profile to be saved and click Save to save the profile at the specified location.
10. You can password-protect the file if you want to by selecting Yes or just click no.
11. Check the options which you need a backup of (for example, Bookmarks, cookies and saved passwords) and then click Next.
12. Thats it! Click Finish after the process is done.
13. If you want to restore an already saved profile, just click Restore Profile in the 9th step to restore an already saved profile.
