Find your profile folder. To completely back up your profile folder, copy your profile folder to another location.
For a more limited backup (not adequate for the Mozilla Suite or Thunderbird if you are using either for email), copy the following files and place them in a safe location. Some of these files may not exist (that is OK).
- bookmarks.html — Bookmarks.
- prefs.js — Current user preferences
- user.js — User preferences (overrides prefs.js)
- cookies.txt — Cookies
- hostperm.1 — Cookies/images/xpinstall permissions list
- signons.txt — Saved passwords
- key3.db — Supplements password file. Needs to be copied along with signons.txt.
