Chris Wilson Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 About to format and reload my PC, how do I make a backup of bookmarks, passwords, and history in Firefox please? Thanks. Also what do I need to backup to keep an operating set up for My Ebay and my Paypal pages? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 You need to take a copy of the profile folder in %appdata%\application data\mozilla\firefox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRalphMan Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Next time move it off the Windows Partition, that way when you ZAP windows again, all you need to do is to point it back to the unaffected data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 Thanks Carlos, sorted that, good tip MrRalphMan! Now, how do I save all my desktop links? Cheers, I may have a few more odd questions before I format Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 If you use TweakUI, you can move your important folders (Desktop, My Documents and others) to another location. If you do it now, I don't think it will actually move the files, just the location of the files. You can copy them across if needed, they should currently be in c:\documents and settings\\... desktop = your desktop Favorites = IE Fav's (If you still use it) My Documents = You get the drift. Start Menu = No real point in moving this one... Save ages and is much less of a worry if windows disappears up it's own arse like it's prone to do.
