If
you are anything like me, you use different computers as you move from place to
place. There is nothing more annoying than losing your favorite Firefox
Extensions, Themes, Bookmarks, etc., as you move from computer to computer.
Here is an easy way to have a consistent set of tools available on each
machine.
Steps
1. Set your preferences, install all
your favorite extensions and then download these programmes:
2. Install Google Browser Sync (see
External Links).
- FEBE - Firefox Extension Backup Extension.
- CLEO - Compact Library Extension Organizer.
3. Right-click to the right of the menu
and choose Customize.
Drag the FEBE and CLEO icons onto the toolbar.

4. Click the down arrow on the FEBE
icon.

5. Back up Firefox into the destination
directory.
6. Click the down-arrow on the CLEO
icon.

Set the default directory and options.
7. Select the extensions to combine
into a single package and click OK.
8. Put this on an online folder so you
have access to it from any machine you are working on.
9. Reinstall the backed up profile onto
the target machine and restart Firefox.
You should have everything that was on the previous browser.

Tips
- You can simply back up your entire profile in CLEO, which you can restore on any other machine running Firefox.
- You may want to use the lighter-weight Portable Firefox instead of the full version.
