Firefox Backup Tool

Firefox Backup Tool is a lightweight software application designed specifically for helping you back up your Firefox’s preferences, cookies, saved passwords, bookmarks, and other important data on your computer.
Updates may mess up your web browser’s configuration and this is why you need to save your relevant data to a separate file.

Straightforward interface

The tool delivers a multi-tabbed layout that allows you to easily switch between the Backup and Restore panel. Most of the preset options can be easily selected or deselected, so even rookies can master the entire process in no time.

Main features

Firefox Backup Tool gives you the possibility to select the saving directory where the backup file is stored (FBK file format) and choose the items that you want to save, namely all preferences, add-ons, bookmarks, block list, cookies, download history, extensions, form history, local store, permission, browsing history, search, stored sessions, saved passwords, and other useful items.
Additionally, you are allowed to encrypt the backup by setting up passwords and restore the items by specifying the FBK file and entering the correct password. In order to successfully back up your Firefox data, it is recommended to close your web browser before triggering the process.
During our testing we have noticed that Firefox Backup Tool carries out a task quickly but this pretty much depends on the size of your files. It doesn’t eat up a lot of CPU and memory, so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

Bottom line

All in all, Firefox Backup Tool offers some handy parameters for helping you back up your Firefox data to FBK file format, and is suitable for all types of users.
