Firefox Friday sneaks up behind us like a bandit once again!

Are you ready for another?  Hold on to your mouse pads because today I’ll be showing you that you can backup your Firefox!

In the digital world, backing up your work is imparitive.

If you have ever lost a project you were working on and had to start from the beginning, you understand the importance of backing up.  If you have ever had a hard drive crash and lost all of your programs, pictures, music, videos, and documents, you know this principle well.  “Fool me once, shame on you, but fool me twice, shame on me” comes to mind!  If the idea of losing everything is familiar to you, you have probably changed the way you were doing things!  ALWAYS backup!

Well, as it turns out, Firefox has this extension that allows for easy backups of Firefox, including extensions, themes, bookmarks, preferences, passwords, cookies, etc.

It even allows for syncronizing your browsers!  You can schedule automatic backups so you don’t even have to worry about it!  I liked the idea of not having to start all over if something were to happen to the computer containing my Firefox installation so I figured I’d give it a try and give my opinion!

First things first!  I had to set some preliminary settings like what I wanted backed up and what folder to backup to:

When I do start the backup, this window shows up:

When it was done, I was left with the results page:

All in all, the extension seems to work seamlessly!  I believe once you have your backups, you can use them to synchronize your browsers!  If you have any bone in your body that cares about your sanity, you should be backing up your browser and FEBE definitely makes the job a breeze!  Head on over and download Firefox Environment Backup Extension today!
