How to save Extensions and Themes?


Recommended Posts

Dear Fellow Neowinians,

First and foremost, I would like to know if there are any easiest method to backup my extensions and themes because it will be tedious to restore every each of them by downloading it all over again everytime when I need to reformat/reinstall Firefox. I have tried some 3rd party software like MozBackup but whenever I have made a backup and attempted to restore it, my browser will not start and it will only start when I use the (Safe Mode) or when I delete off the Profiles and start all anew so I am back to square one once again.

Have you guys and gals got any resolution on this matter? I'm sure someone here will be able to enlighten me. Thank you in advance and I'm looking forward to your reply. See ya and take care.

Regards,

weilik

Go to the install link for the theme and or extension, right click it, Save Link As. Thereya go, saves the .xpi file for extensions to disk. Then its just drop and drag onto extension manager to instal em.

I think I have confused you. Actually, I want to know how can I backup the Extensions and Themes for future restoration? Sorry, my wrong :)

What xpgeek suggested is the best way to go.

It's what I do, anyway. You need to get familiar with that Profile directory in Documents and Settings, it's not difficult.
