Many times when we installed firefox on newer system or installed again after uninstalling we may face problem of loss of all extensions and themes. Here is a simple trick for saving time of again downloading extension:
-> Always download extention or theme using other browser.eg ie or opera.
->save all extension on a safe place.
->Many times it is simple to add extension by setting extension open with always firefox.But themes can not be easily added.to add theme follow this step:
goto:
1- tools > folder option on my computer and check "Show hidden files and folder".
2- Now goto:
active drive >document and setting>select desired user name from users>Application data>Mozilla>firefox>profiles>ea1ix2wr.default>extension.
Now copy firefox theme and paste here.
3- Open firefox and it will insatalled itself.;-)

Why invent the wheel when the wheel has already been running from past many years.....................................Yes instead of doing what u purpose install FEBE from Mozilla extension site & once installed you can take a complete backup of your entire profile(this includes bookmarks, all extensions,themes,cookies,passwords,history).

The best thing is you can set a day & time for auto backup by FEBE to a specified folder. In last 3 years I have always done just that automatically.
