Instructions
- Download the Firefox FEBE extension.
- Once it is downloaded and installed, restart Firefox.
- FEBE is going to list a little Readme inside Firefox. I would recommend reading it to give you all the tips you need.
- The very first step you need to do in order to backup Firefox - you need to configure where you want it to backup. This is done from FEBE options. To do this go to tools --> FEBE --> FEBE options.
- Click on the Directory button. From here, click browse you choose your directory.
- To perform a manual backup, go to tools --> FEBE --> Perform Backup.
- Scheduled Backups can be done too, go back to the FEBE options and choose Schedule. From here, you can schedule the time or have it backup when you start and/or exit Firefox.
- To restore your backups, go to tools --> FEBE --> Restore --> Restore FireFox Extensions.
