Can someone tell me what's that extension which lets you backup your profile?

Thanks

I've always seen Neowin.net like that in Firefox in one corner or the other. Seen an explanation to it once but can't find it now. Doesn't bother me to much tho.

If you guys have just recently downloaded Firefox 1.5 beta 1, use a branch or trunk nightly build and you hate the way the new menus look...this extension is for you. Thanks to a bunch of folks over on mozillazine.org forums, we have put together this extension to bring back the classic menus, this is especially nice for all the Windows 2000 and below users and users of XP non-luna themes.

Download link

if the link isn't working copy and paste the link into the browser and hit enter. For some reason the link isn't triggering the install notification for me.

i need something to do this as well. if i want to revert back to 1.0.6 again, i dont wanna have to put in all my bookmarks again

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

just copy the profiles directory under your account folder\Application Settings\Mozilla, it contains everything.

Also, anyone using this new build, can you try file:///G:/Web/TidyUI/supposed_firefox_exploit.xhtml

apparently it will crash Firefox 1.0.6 on windows and linux, and 1.5 Beta 1, but everybody i have gotten to try it, it doesnt crash it.

just interested.

I use THIS ONE.

I am using the Test Build 4 right now. Once you install it, go to the options and set it to back up the files you want.

This is a local file ... we can't access it.

[drgrudge]

Can anyone tell how much memory does it take? I have a slow computer.. so I want to know abt the memory issue.

Also is it mandatory to backup our Extensions, Bookmarks and profile? Can we no revert back to the older version?

A couple days ago, testing the nightly builds (which I've been doing for a while now), I started getting random crashes of the browser on Linux, and it's still happening with the final beta 1 release. Closing tabs sometimes causes it to crash as well. Damn. Not even a new profile prevents it.

No crashes here either.

[IceDogg]

Would like to say that over at TEM they are starting to update extensions. So be patient use the workarounds or just wait a little while (before installing this beta) and most extensions should be updated soon. Just keeping you posted.

This is posted elsewhere in the Mozilla (Gecko) forums, Just wanted to post it here too, so all would know.

[xpgeek]

Only prob I've seen yet is copying text sometimes doesn't bring up the right context menu, highlight text, right click, no copy comand, but I've already figured out just minimizing and restoring the window fixes.

[drgrudge]

I am back to 1.0.6 :(

All the extentions and the walnut theme dint work. When I tried that nightly testers extension.. FX acted strange.. no BAR (the top one and the windows bottom one) was there, ie it opened in full screen and dint work also. :o Now I am back to 1.0.6 :( :(

I use FireBackup which is pretty nice. FYI it currently only does your cookies, preferences, and bookmarks.

[L3thal Veteran]

This beta is considerably faster than 1.0.6. It is looking good, though the extensions do need to be updated My three main extensions already work, so I will be using this until the final release.

[Slimy]

they seem to have done a ton of work in this version. kudos to them :)
