How can I save my current Firefox customization to install on a new Windows 7 installation

This is not asking for a problem fix.
How can I save my current Firefox 3.6 customization, toolbar set-up, plug-ins, add-ons, etc. to a file or files so I can install it, pre-customized, after I do a re-format and clean install of a new Windows 7 operating system?
I am currently in Windows Vista.
I'm just trying to make it so I don't have to re-customize everything I already have done by doing a fresh installation of Firefox.
Or can I just save the existing Mozilla Firefox program folder and then drag and drop it into the new programs folder in Windows 7?
Thanks,
numetro

A couple of links that can help with this, [[Backing up your information]] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup Profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]. The second one includes a link to a free utility that can make this easier.
Just saving the progams folder will not work, the user data is stored elsewhere.

  • How can I share the same Firefox profiles / settings among multiple users on Windows XP?

    I am installing Firefox on Windows XP and have imported all settings, add-ons, etc, from a previous installation.
    I did the installation under the Admin account, but I would like to have the same settings and everything else available to some of the other users on the machine (but not all). How can I do this?
    Thanks.
    -Danny.

    I understand what is in and where the profiles are, but my issue is that I want Firefox to let me use the same profile whether, for example, I am logged onto the XP system as "Admin" or "User1" I do not want to share the same profile for all users of the machine, just specific users, and I do not want to have to duplicate all of the information that is in the profile in each of the specific user's Application Data settings folders under XP (C:\Documents and Settings\USER-NAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[profile-name]) for the user's in question.
    Am I making sense here?
    Thanks,

  • How can I save my Log files (and other my own files) to windows azure ?

    Hi ,Dear all
    I am migrating an Asp.Net Web App to Windows Azure. It runs in IIS
    In that Web App,it will:
      1. save log files to a virtual path (for example, save to $WEBAPP_ROOT_DIR/LOGFILES/
      2. save ViewState by session as temporary files to a virtual path (for example , save to $WEBAPP_ROOT_DIR/VIEWSTATE/
      3. upload some image files to the web server virtual path at $WEBAPP_ROOT_DIR/UPLOAD/
    so, when I migrate the web app to windows azure,how can I do the same job in my code?It seems so many great changes in my code ...
    Any ideas and suggestions for me ? many thanks!

    hi Eric,
    If you use Azure website, you can save your log and files into azure storage service ,such as blob or table.
    If you use VM to host your service, you can only attach a data disk or file service on your VM and save your data into data disk or file service.

  • How can I stop the bookmarks sidebar from popping up in every new window/tab?

    I CAN close it, by clicking on the X, or ctrl-B, or going to View... but it keeps coming back in every new window/tab, and that just annoys me. I'm used to having the bookmarks up in the Menu bar, out of the way, until I want them. The sidebar takes up a lot of space. And even though it's easily closed, I resent all these things that I didn't ask for, don't want, and can't control!

    Usually the sidebar doesn't open by itself, but it is shared by all the tabs in a window.
    If you are using a toolbar button for the Bookmarks menu (instead of the classic menu bar), you might have the sidebar open/close button instead of the drop-down button. They have nearly identical icons, but the menu has either a little triangle or the word Bookmarks to the right of it, depending on which bar it's on. (Screen shot attached, from Firefox 24.)
    To change out your button, you can try the Customize feature. See: [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]].

  • How can I make my current Firefox settings the default settings, so that PC Tools won't delete the menu bar?

    I use PS Tools Performance Toolkit to clean/repair my (Vista) registry. When the utility runs, Firefox closes. When I start Firefox again, the appearance on screen has been reset to default -- no menu bar and the the web address line is scrambled. All the settings can be manually corrected, but can I prevent it from changing in the first place.

    Can you configure your external software not to clear your Firefox settings (as opposed to, say, cookies and history)?
    Unfortunately, there is no handy backup file of toolbar configuration information (localstore.rdf) to restore, so you would need to build your own system to restore it.

  • How can I make a waveform graph store the entire wave, not just the current time period and how can I save the actual graph?

    I am taking temp readings with a 4 channel DAQ, sending them to a waveform graph and exporting the data to excel, how do I manipulate the graph to take a continuous reading as opposed to losing the previous GUI and how can I save the entire graph?
    Using LabVIEW 2011 operating on Windows 7 professional. 

    That is the nature of the chart -- everything not in the history is lost (it is a FIFO buffer of length=1024 samples by default).
    The scroll bar is probably grayed out because you're show all of the data.
    Attached is a program that will add 5 random points to a graph and prompt you for a file location where to save a JPG snapshot of the graph.  It's not particularly good programming style, but it has all of the elements/concepts you're after.

  • How can I save my preferences?

    I am preparing to install a new hard drive in my computer and I don't want to lose all of my preferences.  How can I save these to reload after the install?
    I am using Adobe CS4 Extended v. 11.0.2 on a WIN XP Pro sp3 machine.
    Also, will my preferences carry over to Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premium?
    Thanks!
    Susan
    P.S. My current hard drive has sufferend two crashes already so I'm hoping to get the hard drive switched over as soon as it arrives (next day or 2).  Thanks!

    Thanks Curt, but I'm still confused by one statement in the article from the link you posted above.  The author states, "You can do this by making a new action set (folder) within PS, then drag your favorite actions into it from other sets, then save your favorites set in a safe place."
    I have created a "favorite actions" folder with my most used and self-created action sets in it.  But how do I save that favorite set?
    I have been able to find the other items as well, so thanks for the link...AND the tip about deactivating my products before pulling the drive.  (That's a step I'm certain my IT staff would have overlooked!)

  • When I try to same an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!

    When I try to save an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

    Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

  • How can I get the old Firefox back, this new one stinks

    how can I get the old Firefox back, this new one stinks

    Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
    If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
