The Pot Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Thank You The App was really useful, infact a lifesaver recently when my firefox crashed and I lost all my bookmarks, extensions with settings and Themes. How about getting it affliated with Mozilla . More Firefox users will be able to use it in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+unabatedshagie Subscriber¹ Posted February 17, 2006 Subscriber¹ Share Posted February 17, 2006 Is there any way of setting this to automatically back up using a scheduled task? Maybe a switch or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skavenger Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Well... now that I'm officially here :blush: I dink around with FF and Moz alot, not very much with T-bird, because, if you're still running mozilla-Zuite why use external email app?... But... here's my experience: Moz-Backup has quit working for me -- maybe not others, but in either FF or Mozilla it often reports that the backup I've made is "corrupt or invalid" etc. The other cute issue with Moz-backup is that in the *.rpc files and prefs.js, it frequently forgot to correctly modify the new profile name -- this has been true both FF and Moz... so's anyhow, since nobody mention support for the mozilla-suite, I'll test it on that -- after I back it up manually of course ;-) THANKS FOR THE GOOD WORK SkV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRocky Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Just a quick note: If there's insufficient room on the drive when you backup, the program will say it's complete, then delete the partial backup file. You may want to do a check for disk space before the backup starts, and notify the user if there's not enough room. Otherwise, seems to be a good program. I guess the true test will come when I actually have to restore a backup! I really wish that the Moz folks would integrate something like this into FF & TB.

Shadoefax Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 There is another alternative for backing up Firefox. It is called Firefox Extension Backup Extension (FEBE). What is really nice about it is that it will rebuild your installed extensions and themes and create installable .xpi and .jar files. This makes it very easy to port your extensions to another profile or computer. It also backs up and restores bookmarks, preferences, and cookies. More information here.

thunderbirdgrrl Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I love Backupfox 7.3. In fact, I used it weekly as I was updating/changing a lot of computers. My problem is that it now won't run. I click on it and it does nothing. No error message, no thinking about it, just nothing. Am I doing something wrong this time? I there ome program it can't work with or something?

Y0G Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I have exactly the same problem as thunderbirdgrrl (the previous post). IT DOESN'T RUN ANYMORE NOW!!! I clicked on the application icon, but nothing at all happens!!! It is a shame it was a very good application before! Otherwise I have tried Firefox Extension Backup Extension ((FEBE) mentionned by Shadoefax) and had so much trouble with it!!! Stay away from it! If you intall this extension it will corrupt Firefox completely. It is a very good idea, but DOESN'T WORK AT ALL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted April 28, 2006 Veteran Share Posted April 28, 2006 Thanks for this lovely program, nw_raptor. I can now reinstall Firefox without worrying about all the extensions and bookmarks needed to be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you intall this extension it will corrupt Firefox completely. It is a very good idea, but DOESN'T WORK AT ALL!!! Amazing ... with well over 30,000 downloads and a 4.3+ AMO rating, you are the only person who has mentioned that! The really amazing thing is that it works fine for me ... imagine the odds! I wonder where the 30,000 other users with a completely corrupted Firefox are hiding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the people don't complain when something goes wrong they prefer to eradicate the problem and carry on their life. I did complain because that thing (FEBE) has completely spoiled the Firefox version I was using and I had to reinstall it completely. Now, I carry on my life. You are touchy like if you were the one who made that crap chucky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted June 26, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 26, 2006 When I try using it with 1.5.0.4 and I back it up to any directory, it doesn't do anything. Is it compatible with this newer Firefox version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolandd Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Today I wanted to move my TB installation to another computer but BackupFox does not even start. :cry: Does this have anything to do with me running TB 1.5.0.5 and FF 1.5.0.6?

Joel Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Is there an easy way to backup Bon Echo with 1.5 installed? It seems backupfox will only backup the 1.5 instance. It's backs up profiles, not installs. If you used the same profile for Bon Echo as you did for FF, that's what you get to backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyD Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 It's backs up profiles, not installs. If you used the same profile for Bon Echo as you did for FF, that's what you get to backup. Is there any benefit over just backing up the profile folder? Seems like the quickest and most effective way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
