Backup your Firefox Profile

The script has been updated. Please watch this topic, to be notified of more updates

Hi,

This is little tutorial on backing up your firefox profiles. Many times it happens that we install some addon, and firefox won't start again after that. Then we'll have to tweak extensions.ini, ....blahblah or delete and recreate the whole profile at the cost of your settings, cache, and previous addons, themes. So to prevent this, I've devised two methods for backup, the first one being applicable to firefox users on all operating systems which involves installing an addon and configuring it. The second method is applicable to Linux users (and probably mac, bsd) which is a little advanced, but works good.

Modify the Open With list in Windows XP

Generally, if we want to open a certain type of file in more than one application, we usually use the Open With command. To use it we right click a file, and select Open With from the resulting shortcut menu. This displays a secondary menu containing the programs that can open this type of files. In most cases, the Open With list presents only those programs that we want to use. But sometime this list may also contain those programs that we never want to use.However we can remove them with a simple registry edit.
