Reply to note from Manuel Castelao <castelao@xxxxxx> Mon, 21 May 2012 09:09:49 +0200 > Mozbackup works with recent Firefox versions. It's the right > tool to backup and restore profiles. Manuel, Thanks for this tip. I've installed it, and it seems to work well. (At least, the backup part; I haven't tried restoring.) I can't remember ever needing to restore my Firefox or Thunderbird setups, but it's good to know that the capability is there if need be. Naturally, I had the program create the backup files in a directory that is regularly backed up to an external drive. It's worth noting that the .PCV backup file created by Mozbackup is, according to the FAQ (http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/support.php), "a normal ZIP file. You can rename PCV to ZIP and extract files manually too." -- Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxxxx
