Is there extension (like the old FEBE) that will backup history, bookmarks, tabs, extensions and profiles

Hi,

I'm looking for a Firefox extension that works like FEBE used to.

I want to use one extension, and one extension only, to backup my Firefox history, extensions, bookmarks, tabs and profile.

I've searched for such an extension, but have come up blank. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

FEBE still seems available for download, but was last updated in 2017 (FEBE http://softwarebychuck.com/febe/febe.html). Does anyone know how well, if at all, FEBE works with Windows 10 and the current version of Mozilla Firefox?

If there is no extension that backups up bookmarks, tabs, extensions and profile in one go, I'd be grateful for any suggestions for extensions that backup bookmarks, history, extensions and profiles individually. I'm already using Tab Backup and Restore extension for tabs.

The reason I'm anxious is that my Firefox recently crashed and I lost all my laboriously created settings. I was lucky to get them back through one of the backup software programs I use.

My thanks for your advice and help in advance.

Hello!

I haven't heard of any other extension that is an alternative to FEBE but one thing you can do is copy your profile folder found your desktop computer. You should be able to copy all your bookmarks, history, and extensions all in one large folder and have a place to store them as a backup.

To do so, please follow the steps to backup and restore information in a profile: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles

To recover data from an old profile: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile

Please let me know if this works out for you or if this isn't the solution you are looking for. Thank you!
