Ok, This is a bit of a question that seems to have many answers but none that have ever worked for me. I have in the past 12 months probably formatted my PC 4 times, and I have at least 12 profiles on Firefox nightly, not to mention the rest of the family. It's not really a problem to redo them every time, but it is just a painstaking simple process. If I could just backup the profile folder, copy it move it change it whatever, it would be nice and simple, even to transfer from one pc to another in the house, but every time I try, It fails. Copy the Userdata folder, copy the entire firefox folder, blah blah blah, never can I do it. I believe it has something to do with security that you can't just copy and the entire profile folder, but some way to backup the profiles exists surely? One that actually works. Cheers All!

Hi

Are you doing this with Firefox completely closed?

Hi Paul, As far as I am aware unless there is some process still running in the background.
