As your library of Firefox Add-ons continues to grow, so does the worry that a system crash will wipe out your carefully assembled collection of extensions. To quell this fear, all you have to do is download just one additional add-on that will ensure your extensions say safely backed up in a folder on your computer or portable storage device. FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) is a worry-free backup system that will preserve your highly-customized Firefox settings in the case of a crash.
FEBE backs up your Firefox extensions, themes, bookmarks, preferences, passwords, cookies and individual user profiles. From the preferences toolbar, you can select only the items that need backing up or restoring, schedule automatic backups, and save them to a specified folder on your hard drive. After backup, you can verify to make sure that FEBE correctly executed itself; it also does a quick back up and trashes any extra junk that may bundle itself with your saved files.
Restore a number of features to your precious browser.
FEBE comes with an information button attached to almost every function to help even the most computer illiterate backup their favorite Firefox add-ons and is also available in beta for Thunderbird.
Every Tuesday, we pick a new Firefox Add-on as our favorite of the week. Have an Add-on that you can't live without? Send suggestions to fion [AT] futureus.com with "Firefox Add-On" in the subject line.

Doesn't Mozbackup do the same thing?
Mozbackup stands alone.
I have to many add-ons running in FF now.
Takes forever to start-up.

I used Mozbackup and it didn't work for my add-ons or passwords. I hate to install another add-on but this one would be worth it.
