I guess its finally time to reset my Windows as it is full of load crap. Home to a billion viruses worms trojans and spyware. You see I am too much lazy to install a firewall or ant-virus on my PC. But soon I realized that if I reset my Windows all of a sudden I am going to lose all of my Firefox settings thats where this great mozilla backup tool caught my attention.

MozBackup: Tool To Backup Your Firefox Settings

This is one great tool that can make a backup of all your firefox settings on the fly. The good thing is that it comes as a stand alone application and does not interfere with your Firefox installation. Not only does it create a backup of your Firefox settings only but you can also use this tool to create backups of a wide range of mozilla products e.g. Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Mozilla Suite and even Netscape. This tool will even let you restore your saved backup.

Oh well MozBackup works like a charm truly. I am done reinstalling Windows and in 2 seconds I restored all my firefox settings using software. Everything from cache, passwords, bookmarks to history is restored.

I use AntiVir for PC protection. Works great for me :D
