Firefox Backup

Is there a way to backup all my firefox particulars (saved passwords, addons, settings etc.) so that it can easily be transferred.

I am just about to reinstall windows and spent so long getting my browser "just so" and would hate to spend all that time again.

Mozbackup, FEBE (easier but requires a couple restarts of ff to get all addons loaded again) or simply use sync.

Sync is by far the best option for pwrds/tabs/history etc. and while i won't do addons it's best to have it on in case fo the inevitable hardware failure. Just don't loose your has, you'll never get it back

Excellent. And it does Thunderbird as well. Double win!

Cheers.

Mozbackup will do thunderbird as well.

Didn't know about this, I'd been waiting for FEBE to be updated for Firefox 4.

Will come in handy.

FEBE has been updated, BETA 2 has been out a while and works flawlessly.

Having used both, I prefer the power of FEBE as you can selectively backup and restore individual extensions and their settings or anything else on its own too.

Awesome, thanks. I was just checking the Mozilla.org page, seems he has the beta on his personal site only.
