Transfering extension
Is there an easy way to move my extensions?
No, currently (FF 1.5) there is no easy way to move extensions from one install to another.
- In FF 1.5 you should be able to copy the extension's directory (usually at profile folder/extensions/extension-id) from one install to another. --asqueella 14:16, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
What are some work arounds?
You can save the extension files somewhere and import them into the Extension Manager by dragging and dropping.
You can use [infolister] to make a record of what extensions you are using.
A similar program is [ListZilla]
Also look at massinstaller [[1]]
Are there any ideas for improving this?
I have no idea. I can suggest that in the Extension Manager (EM) there be put a button that exports all the current extensions into a .txt or if possible the actual files which can be moved to another install of FF.
Could a file be created that can be imported into the EM and it download what I need?
Currently I don't think so but if someone could do it it would be great.
