    Wish i had known about these before i formatted my computer. I tried copying the Profile Folder which was in the Application Data directory but it didn't work.

    How do you backup manually? Sorry, but I don't trust 3rd party programs with my passwords.

    After wasting a lot of time with MozBackup (it has a bug and would not restore), I finally saved a copy of my "original" profile on a USB drive, copied it into Firefox profiles folder (Start, Run %appdata%, Mozilla, Firefox, Profiles), then used Profile Manager to create a new profile, then went back into the profiles folder, moved the new default profile to the desktop, and renamed the "original" profile with the same file name as the new one that went to the desktop. Open Profile Manager again and select the renamed "original" and started Firefox. Got an error message about registering Chrome, but then Firefox opened with all my old settings!

    Try out XMarks (formerly known as FoxMarks). It can sync and backup bookmarks and passwords to a server.
