How many times have you been forced to customize Firefox so that it has the right icon in proper order, all the bookmarks and above all the desired add-ons? And, what about customizing Thunderbird mail client?

If you have got a new PC or have reinstalled Windows operating system, you know how frustrating it is do the chores. Given the recent scenario in the job market, many people would have been forced to do this because they changed jobs. And, of course, you cannot carry your old office computer to your new office.

Now on, you can depend on MozBackup to do the chores for you. Just backup your Mozilla Firefox or Thunderbird, save it in your USB (or just mail it to yourself) and use it to customize Firefox, when required. MozBackup is a small (less than 1MB) portable application for Windows that can backup several Mozilla applications, including Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird and Seamonkey. It backs up and restores almost everything, including bookmarks, mails, contacts, history, saved passwords and installed add-ons.

Alternatively, you can use Mozilla Weave, which is still in development phase.

If you are looking to synchronize the different your Firefox browsers so that all of them have same bookmarks, you need Xmarks Firefox add-on. It comes really handy for me as it allows me to have same set of bookmarks on both Windows and Ubuntu on my dual-boot laptop.
