I’m a person who cannot live without Firefox. I’m completely addicted to it. And backing up the FF profile is very important and one of the most crucial things for me. All this while I used the superb program called MozBackup, but today I found FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) and it’s directly went to my most wanted Firefox addons collection.
I liked the older version which was made for Firefox 2.x (FEBE 5.0) but the new Firefox 3.x series broke the extension, but now I’m happy that It’s back to work perfectly with Firefox 3.x. I tried it with Shiretoko (Firefox 3.1a2) as well and it works perfect.
The best thing about this new version is the fact that it contains a feature that allows the user to upload the backup file to box.net a third part free private filehosting site. This is the most eyecatching feature for me, and this is the reason I’m switching to FEBE from MozBackup.
Description:
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up — It will actually rebuild your extensions individually into installable .xpi files. Now you can easily synchronize your office and home browsers.
Features:
* Schedule automatic backups on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
* Save backups in time-stamped folders to easily identify when the backups were created. Specify how many folders you wish to keep and FEBE removes the oldest.
* Backup reminder. FEBE can alert you if a backup has not been completed in a specified number of days.
* Comprehensive results report with links to the author’s extension/theme homepages.
* User-defined backups. Make backups of virtually any file or folder – Firefox related or not. Just specify what to backup and FEBE does the rest.
* Extensive built-in help files. Just click the little blue information icons in FEBE options.
* FEBE 6.0 uses native Firefox zip/unzip components. Much, much faster than previous FEBE versions that depended on external, third-party utilities.
* Upload backups to your Box.net account automatically or with a single click. (FEBE 6.0)
* Verify your extension directory. Upgrading to Fx 3.0 sometimes leaves garbage in the extensions directory. FEBE can clean it up. (FEBE 6.0)
* Quick Backup. You can quickly backup as many or as few individual extensions/themes as you like. They can be saved together in a single, installable xpi file (Similar to CLEO). (FEBE 6.0)
* … and more!
Important: FEBE 6.0 is for Firefox 3.0 and above only. For Firefox 2.0, use FEBE 5.0.
