MozBackup vs Firefox Synch vs Profile Backup/Restore?
I want to move FF to a new machine. I'd like everything moved so that the new installation looks and acts exactly like the old one. From reading the KB and the forum, I see 3 possible ways: (1)MozBackup, (2)Firefox's Synch feature and (3)Manually backing up and restoring my FF Profile.
Which would be best?

Sync is worth a try, but it's not complete, so you definitely need something more. Personally I lean toward a manual backup, i.e., Windows level copy of the entire profile folder. I've never tried MozBackup.

MozBackup is only available for the Windows platform and not for Linux.
- MozBackup: http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/
This program is freeware (even for commercial use) and works on Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7.
You will have to backup the files in the profile folder and copy them to a new profile.
