Firefox: create backup - how it works

This practical tip shows you how to backup your Firefox data and settings.

Backup Firefox data

• Your bookmarks, saved passwords and other data and settings are saved in a folder called "Profiles" on your PC. You can find this under C: \ Users \\ AppData \ Roaming \ Mozilla \ Firefox.
• You can reach the folder a bit easier if you enter about: support in Firefox and click on "Show folder" under "Profile folder".
• If you want to save your data, simply copy the "Profiles" folder to an external storage medium, such as a USB stick.
• Alternatively, the backup can also be carried out using various tools or add-ons, such as the Firefox Environment Backup Extension.
• If you also want to backup other Mozilla programs, we recommend the freeware MozBackup. The tool is available for free download from CHIP Online.
