BackupFox 0.6


Recommended Posts

Thank You

The App was really useful, infact a lifesaver recently when my firefox crashed and I lost all my bookmarks, extensions with settings and Themes.

How about getting it affliated with Mozilla . More Firefox users will be able to use it in that case.

Well... now that I'm officially here :blush:

I dink around with FF and Moz alot, not very much with T-bird, because, if you're still running mozilla-Zuite why use external email app?... But... here's my experience:

Moz-Backup has quit working for me -- maybe not others, but in either FF or Mozilla it often reports that the backup I've made is "corrupt or invalid" etc. The other cute issue with Moz-backup is that in the *.rpc files and prefs.js, it frequently forgot to correctly modify the new profile name -- this has been true both FF and Moz...

so's anyhow, since nobody mention support for the mozilla-suite, I'll test it on that -- after I back it up manually of course ;-)

THANKS FOR THE GOOD WORK

Just a quick note:

If there's insufficient room on the drive when you backup, the program will say it's complete, then delete the partial backup file. You may want to do a check for disk space before the backup starts, and notify the user if there's not enough room.

Otherwise, seems to be a good program. I guess the true test will come when I actually have to restore a backup! I really wish that the Moz folks would integrate something like this into FF & TB.

There is another alternative for backing up Firefox. It is called Firefox Extension Backup Extension (FEBE). What is really nice about it is that it will rebuild your installed extensions and themes and create installable .xpi and .jar files. This makes it very easy to port your extensions to another profile or computer. It also backs up and restores bookmarks, preferences, and cookies.

I love Backupfox 7.3. In fact, I used it weekly as I was updating/changing a lot of computers. My problem is that it now won't run. I click on it and it does nothing. No error message, no thinking about it, just nothing.

Am I doing something wrong this time? I there ome program it can't work with or something?

I have exactly the same problem as thunderbirdgrrl (the previous post). IT DOESN'T RUN ANYMORE NOW!!! I clicked on the application icon, but nothing at all happens!!!

It is a shame it was a very good application before!

Otherwise I have tried Firefox Extension Backup Extension ((FEBE) mentionned by Shadoefax) and had so much trouble with it!!! Stay away from it! If you intall this extension it will corrupt Firefox completely. It is a very good idea, but DOESN'T WORK AT ALL!!!

Amazing ... with well over 30,000 downloads and a 4.3+ AMO rating, you are the only person who has mentioned that! The really amazing thing is that it works fine for me ... imagine the odds! I wonder where the 30,000 other users with a completely corrupted Firefox are hiding.

Most of the people don't complain when something goes wrong they prefer to eradicate the problem and carry on their life. I did complain because that thing (FEBE) has completely spoiled the Firefox version I was using and I had to reinstall it completely. Now, I carry on my life.

You are touchy like if you were the one who made that crap chucky...

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
