Backup Your Firefox environment with FEBE Extension
We should expect the browser war to be more aggressive at faster pace. While Firefox is still the king of customization with numerous extensions, which will remain across upgrades Firefox, however, installing on another PC or creation of portable Firefox might require time consuming effort to re-install all your extension.
We’ve heard that next version, Mozilla will provide a way to save your profile on the “cloud”. Until then, you can use FEBE extension,
FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) 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. 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). The back-up file can reside on your computer or Box.net online storage service. But if your backup file is not larger than your Web based email service provider, I’d suggest just to email yourself.
Features:
- Schedule automatic backups on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
- Save backups in time-stamped folders to easily identify when the backups were created. Specify how many folders you wish to keep and FEBE removes the oldest.
- Backup reminder. FEBE can alert you if a backup has not been completed in a specified number of days. (Yay!)
- Comprehensive results report with links to the author’s extension/theme homepages.
- User-defined backups. Make backups of virtually any file or folder – Firefox related or not. Just specify what to backup and FEBE does the rest.
- Extensive built-in help files. Just click the little blue information icons in FEBE options.
- FEBE 6.0 uses native Firefox zip/unzip components. Much, much faster than previous FEBE versions that depended on external, third-party utilities.
- Upload backups to your Box.net account automatically or with a single click. (FEBE 6.0)
* Verify your extension directory. Upgrading to Fx 3.0 sometimes leaves garbage in the extensions directory. FEBE can clean it up. (FEBE 6.0) - Quick Backup. You can quickly backup as many or as few individual extensions/themes as you like. They can be saved together in a single, installable xpi file (Similar to CLEO). (FEBE 6.0), etc..
