Create a second folder there "Mozilla Backups". 3) In Mozilla, click Help / Get More Extensions. Search "FEBE" and install. 4) Restart and open FEBE Options via Tools / Addons. Click on Folder tab. Set drive and folder path there. 5) Run from Tools / FEBE / Perform Backup. FEBE will back up all your extensions and bookmarks. It will create a report page in a new tab. 6) Copy this "Mozilla Backups" folder to the USB key. Let it write over the folder there. 7) Create a routine for backups. And rest. Note: if you run more than one profile it is a good idea to create seperate backup folders for these. Here is another method:
