How To Backup Your Firefox Extensions, Bookmarks and Cookie?

I like working with Firefox, but I need my add-ons/extensions installed inside it: that can improve and make your browsing experience way better, and not having my add-ons installed makes me feel naked, or more like I miss a part of my self.
Thankfully, there is an extension called FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) that can help you to backup your extensions easily.

- A full profile backup will backup everything inside Firefox in a single .xpi file and you can use it as a single extension, to restore full custom settings wherever you want.
- A selective backup allows you to select what you want to backup, and it will store the backups in their own .xpi file.
2. For backup type, select “Full profile” on the “Options” tab.
3. On the “Directory” tab, select where you want to save your backup.
4. Select “Use timestamped directories” to differentiate backups based on date of creation.
5. Click OK to finalize what you have set above .
6. Again click Tools -> FEBE -> Perform Backup.
7. Wait for the backup end.
Now let’s see how to selectively backup Firefox settings using the Selective Backup:
1. On the menu bar, click Tools -> FEBE -> FEBE Options.
2. Under backup type, select “Selective” on the “Options” tab.
3. Select what you want to backup in the “Backup items” section. For this how-to, I will only backup my Firefox extensions and themes.
4. On the “Directory” tab, select where you want to save your backup.
5. Select also “Use timestamped directories” to differentiate backups in different sub-folders, based on date it was created.
6. Click OK to finalize the settings above.
7. On the menu bar click Tools -> FEBE -> Perform Backup.
8. Wait for the backup end.
On the menu bar, click Tools -> FEBE -> Restore and then select what you want to restore. FEBE will prompt you to select your backup files inside one of your backup folders.
The extension is obviously free to download and install.
