Backup your Firefox Extensions with FEBE

Here is a pretty useful add-on for Firefox 3, FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension). It allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up — It will actually rebuild your extensions individually into installable .xpi files. Now you can easily synchronize your office and home browsers. This is gonna help them both- one who takes his office work at home or someone who gets time to do personal works at office while surfing.


If you're someone who always wanted to easily synchronize your home and office browsers (or) backup your extensions before installing an extension upgrade so that you could go back if the upgrade doesn't work (or) just back up your work or files in general while you browse, then Firefox Environment Backup Extension (FEBE) developed by Chuck Baker is all you need.
With FEBE you can backup your Firefox extensions, as well as bookmarks, preferences, cookies, Greasemonkey scripts, passwords, profiles, or virtually any data on your computer related to Firefox and can create multiple folders for saving certain backups in different locations. Besides backing up your extensions, FEBE can rebuild your extensions individually into installable .xpi (or .jar for themes) files so that you can reinstall them whenever required.

Features


  • Schedule automatic backups on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
  • Save backups in time-stamped folders to easily identify when the backups were created. Specify how many folders you wish to keep and FEBE removes the oldest.
  • Backup reminder. FEBE can alert you if a backup has not been completed in a specified number of days.
  • Comprehensive results report with links to the author’s extension/theme homepages.
  • User-defined backups. Make backups of virtually any file or folder - Firefox related or not. Just specify what to backup and FEBE does the rest.
  • Extensive built-in help files. Just click the little blue information icons in FEBE options.
  • FEBE 6.0 uses native Firefox zip/unzip components. Much, much faster than previous FEBE versions that depended on external, third-party utilities.
  • Upload backups to your Box.net account automatically or with a single click. (FEBE 6.0)
  • Verify your extension directory. Upgrading to Fx 3.0 sometimes leaves garbage in the extensions directory. FEBE can clean it up. (FEBE 6.0)
  • Quick Backup. You can quickly backup as many or as few individual extensions/themes as you like. They can be saved together in a single, installable xpi file (Similar to CLEO). (FEBE 6.0)
