Best Way to Backup Settings/Bookmarks/Faves

[Sir Topham Hatt]

Hello

I am about to install Windows7, but I want to keep all my bookmarks and settings and extensions.

Is there an easy way to do this, or should I just download and install again?

Thanks

If you want to go the mozbackup way, Xmarks is better.

To report back, unfortunately, the two plugins messed it up.

They sort of, only half restored things, some of the addons decided to stop working and I would have been better to re-build it.

However, the program linked above worked perfectly. I am still signed in to all sites, the layout is exactly how I left it and it's simply worked :D

Thanks

I use FEBE mentioned above to backup my extensions and for everything else there is Weave. Its from Mozilla Labs and syncs my bookmarks, passwords, form input,etc. across computers :)

As already stated, Mozbackup is far and away the best in my experience! So simple and effective .. backs up Thunderbird and Sunbird too .. and loads of others ..
