Recently I screwed up while partitioning my laptop and lost all my files. Yippee.
Luckily, I had found a freeware program called “MozBackup“ and had backed up all of my Firefox passwords and more. So I had the backup file on another computer and only had to use MozBackup there and restored all my passwords, bookmarks, and some of my add-ons. Heres what MozBackup can backup:
- Firefox 1.0 – 3.0 Alpha 6
- Thunderbird 1.0 – 2.0
- SeaMonkey 1.0a – 1.1
- Mozilla Suite 1.7 – 1.7.x
- Netscape 7.x.
- Works only on Windows and not on Portable Firefox.
(The Netscape browser is really just Firefox with a new skin.) Sadly, it couldn’t backup all my firefox add-ons, but heres what add-ons it can backup:
- Adblock Plus
- Bookmarks Synchronizer
- Clippings
- Colorzilla
- Crash Recovery
- Download Manager Tweak
- File Title
- ForecastFox
- Google Toolbar
- Greasemonkey
- HTML Validator
- Chatzilla
- Lightning
- Menu Editor
- Mouse Gestures
- Prefbar
- Sage
- ScrapBook
- Signature
- Slim Extension List
- Stylish
- Tab Mix Plus
- Tabbrowser Extensions
- Tabbrowser Preferences
- View Source With
- Web Developer
So even though my laptop is trashed, I still have all the important files from it.
