firefox extension help

#3794617 - 02/17/05 05:31 PM (21 years, 6 months ago)

i'll be reformatting my computer tomorrow. is there any way to find my installed extentions and drag them to another drive, then just drag back once everything is reinstalled? or, do i have to hunt them down again?

this isnt just for extensions either. i have already backed up my bookmarks, but how can i save the way i have my browser set up?

Backup "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox" and also backup the folder firefox was installed to. That should preserve most everything, but you may have to reinstall a few plugins.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

yeah, just backup your profile & the program files folder...as described.

a clean profile is always nice, however.
