While I love Firefox’s stability, I’m not too keen about the environment it works in, especially when it’s running on Windows. Anything can happen on a Windows machine - crashes, corruption, failure and worst, unrecoverable data crashes.

This means that everything you’ve been tweaking and fine-tuning, including Firefox will be gone. Unless, of course, you have a handy backup. Backing your Firefox profile can be a complicated thing to do and it’d be a lot easier to use a backup tool like this one here - MozBackup.

It’s a handy tool that allows you to backup and restore bookmarks, mail, contacts, history, extensions, even your cache. However, it only supports a handful of extensions. If the extension creates external files other than what MozBackup can do, it won’t be able to back these files up.

It can however, perform backups these following applications:

• Firefox
• Thunderbird
• SeaMonkey
• Mozilla Suite
• Netscape

It has an easy-to-understand wizard interface that guides you every step of the way whether you’re doing backup or restore.
