How to Backup Firefox with Handy Backup

To backup Firefox history, settings, bookmarks, and other data, you need to save a copy of the local Firefox folder. Handy Backup uses the standard "Computer" plugin (available in all solutions) to perform the Firefox backup.

Launch Handy Backup and open the new task wizard by clicking the "New task" button/menu.
Select a backup task in Step 1 and proceed to Step 2.
Click on the "Computer" plugin in the "Local or Network Drives" section on the left panel.

Specify Backup Set: Local or Network Drives

Note: You can alternatively use the "Network" plugin or select a machine from the drop-down list of available computers (for network editions only) to perform a Firefox online backup.

In the new window that appears, locate and check the box next to the Firefox folder. By default, the settings are usually stored at C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox, but the Firefox settings location might vary based on your system configuration.

Advice: For Linux versions, this folder is typically located at ~/.firefox.

Click "OK" to return to Step 2 and proceed with creating the Mozilla backup task as described in the User Manual. No additional steps are specific to Firefox backup.
