I would like to make one static copy of Firefox, so I can restore it if I have a hard drive crash, or if I want to upgrade my internal disk, or if I want to have a duplicate on another replacement computer.

Hi tchmielewski,

You should look into Firefox Sync. I think it will do everything that you are asking for. This will allow you to have all of your Firefox preferences and settings shared across multiple computers.

You could also create a backup on a USB drive in case of catastrophic failture. I would suggest that you back up your personal information and bookmarks using the article Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles.

Hopefully this helps!

That would work better with Firefox Portable. Everything is in the same directory, so you would only need to dump the whole thing onto a disk and use it.
