Hello again, I have another question.

It's always wise to backup your computer data in case of anything happening to your PC. While I have backed up my files, I want to do the same to FireFox but I don't know what I'm doing.

For starters, I know how to backup my bookmarks* and I learned to backup my preferences, thanks to a previous question of mine. What I want to backup now is my cookies, my saved passwords, my themes, my extensions and my plugins. Are they saved in their own file I can just copy-paste or is it something else?

Also, I don't have a profile set up** so I'm assuming that's relevant to this question.

One more thing. As I'm not backing up the entirety of Firefox, anything else I should backup?

Thanks in advance.


  • A close-call PC crash thought me that.
    • I learned about FireFox profiles 6 months ago but I've been using FireFox for the past 6 years.

A Profile is created automatically upon first-run as part of the installation procedure.
