Despite its many advancements, upgrading to a new or, heaven forbid, experimental version of Firefox can be a precarious task. Backing up before an upgrade is essential, but it's hard to know which files to back up. Enter
BackupFox, which does exactly what you'd expect. You choose which profile you want to back up, and it grabs all of your settings, bookmarks, extensions, and history, and packs them into a pocket-sized .zip file. If you lose your data due to an upgrade gone awry or some other Alarming Event, just open the backup file in BackupFox and you'll be right back where you left off. As a bonus, it also has Thunderbird support. The only catch is it's Windows-only.

This is a bit of an offtopic question, but I've seen that skin for XP, the shiny non-luna one, I've just always wondered what it is and how to get it!
It's been wracking my mind, recently.

I've been using MozBackup for quite some time, and I've never had any problems with it, so I'm not sure what makes this one any better. MozBackup supports Thunderbird too, definitely a plus for me.

thank you! I'm getting a brand new PC and want to keep my huge list of bookmarks!

Anybody know if this will allow you to move a complete set of settings (settings, extensions, bookmarks, etc.) to another installation of Firefox? I have one installation that I've customized extensively and I'd like to get a new installation on a different PC to the same state.
