With all the regressions going on the nightlies right now, I thought this would be a good thread to start. What files are best to backup when backing up one's user profile, so they can easily be copied over to a newly created profile? My ideas: - bookmarks.html (duh) - user.js (if you have it) - userChrome.css and userContent.css (if you have them) - prefs.js (caveat: not all of it. one of those prefs may be causing a crash. I'd go through and get things that would be a headache to restore, such as mail/news server settings. This stuff *really* needs to be separated) - Mail, ImapMail, and News directories (if you want them--I do) What I am sort of lost on is how to backup stored passwords. The file that stores the password is usually some XXX.s, where XXX is some number. It's dictated by 'signon.SignonFileName' in prefs.js. I guess you would just copy the contents of the file over. Personal comment, why is the format of XXX.s period and line delimited? You would think it would be in RDF or something. What are everyone else's comments and suggestions?
