Browser backup and restore
Firefox as my primary browser, and Chrome as my secondary browser, I need to restore my profile after Windows re-installation.
For Google Chrome, just backup the folder Default, and put it back to the correct folder after a new installation:
C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
For Firefox, the location of your profile folder are as follow:
Windows XP location:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>.default
Windows 7 location:
C:\Windows\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>.default
To restore the profile, copy backup profile folder back to the location above, and then click on "Start" > "run" > firefox -profilemanager.
From the window above, choose "Create Profile"
Click "Choose Folder", and browse to your own profile folder, then click "Finish".
