Firefox Backup

[daroga]

Hey guys,

I'm gonna have to format the ol' computer soon. But, I've got some passwords saved in my FireFox profile. The last time I did this, I thought I had things backed up properly, but my passwords were missing.

Anyone know how to back up the profile completely (bookmarks, profiles, etc.)?

Thanks!

That I'm not quite sure, but you can always view your saved passwords by going to Tools > Options > Privacy > Saved Passwords > View Saved Passwords. Then write 'em all down, the good ol' way :)

I've used a program called MozBackup to backup all my Firefox data. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if it does the saved passwords. Here are links to MozBackup and instructions on doing a manual backup of all your data. The link for the manual backup does tell you how to backup your saved passwords.
