Everything about Mozilla Firefox Browser
I started with this topic for all users of Mozilla Firefox browser. All the sources I got were from the internet. Hope everyone will benefit from it when come to any problems/ inquiries relating to this browser. Contributors and comments to this topic are also very much appreciated.

To backup Mozilla Firefox bookmark:
1. In Mozilla Firefox, go to Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks.
2. Click on Import and Backup, choose Backup.
3. Choose location where you want to store the backup file by clicking on the Browse button.
4. Click Save.
The backup file is saved in .json file extension. Only Firefox 3 using .json file to keep all our bookmarks information.

For Firefox 2, it using standard .html file which you can choose, Export HTML under Import and Backup menu.

Extra Note: Did you know, Mozilla Firefox always backup our bookmark when each time we closed the browser? The backup files are stored in your Mozilla Firefox profile folder. You can restore the backup file from Import and Backup menu and choose from the latest 5 backup files available.
Or use this uploaded folder
to install MozBackup, a backup tool for Firefox and Thunderbird.

MozBackup is a software that can backup your emails, contacts, extensions, and Thunderbird settings into a single file. This file is transferable and you can restore your Thunderbird by using this file.
Let say if you want to format your PC and want to backup your emails in Thunderbird. Run MozBackup and it will create a file which contains your Thunderbird emails and everything you have ticked to backup. Keep that file in thumbdrive and format the PC.
Next, after you have formatted the PC and when it comes to restore the Thunderbird profiles, just run MozBackup and choose that file to restore all the settings including the emails. It is so easy and everything is handle by MozBackup.
So, use MozBackup to backup your Thunderbird. MozBackup also can be used to backup Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Sunbird, Flock, SeaMonkey, Mozilla Suite, Spicebird and Netscape profiles.

Comments by Jackson Loh:
Or why not use this extension? FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions. You can get it here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109
This will backup all the data in Mozilla base on profile, extension, preference, username and password that your browser use, etc. This one is more complete and flexible, that is my dua puluh sen.
