Performing a regular backup is important. This is the only way to back up all of your Firefox data and avoid accidental data loss. But even when setting up a new PC, you save a lot of time with a backup of your browser data. We will show you how you can save your personal data from Firefox in a file.

How to create a Firefox backup as a file

Note: There are some providers of external backup tools. However, these are not necessary at all. All Firefox data is saved locally on your computer.

Press the key combination [Windows] + [R] and enter " % appdata% ". Then select the folder " Mozilla " and then " Firefox ". Then go to " Profiles ".

The folder saved here contains all of your Firefox data. You can simply save it to a USB stick or hard drive. You can create a backup or transfer your data to another computer..

Alternatively, you can also enter " about: support " in Firefox and then click on " Open folder " in the " Profile folder " line . The folder contained here contains all the data saved in Firefox. Copy it to an external storage medium. So you have a backup of your data and can also copy it to another computer.
