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!</p>SteveFri, 05 Dec 2008 00:58:39 -0000http://blogote.com/how-to/how-to-backup-firefox-3-browser-passwords-and-profiles-easily/436/#comment-18452911<p>@Diamonds - You can try this method <a href="http://blogote.com/2008/ideas/browser-ideas/mozilla-firefox-3-crashes-uninstall-buggy-addons-and-themes.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://blogote.com/2008/ideas/browser-ideas/mozilla-firefox-3-crashes-uninstall-buggy-addons-and-themes.html">http://blogote.com/2008/ide...</a> to uninstall addons-extensions manually</p>SidModdSun, 12 Oct 2008 22:44:28 -0000http://blogote.com/how-to/how-to-backup-firefox-3-browser-passwords-and-profiles-easily/436/#comment-18452909<p>How do you backup manually?
