FEBE - i miss you!

Once upon a time, there was an extension for Firefox that helped to backup/restore extensions, passwords, bookmarks and even give you a list of extensions installed.

It is no more (for current stable)... 😢

While Chrome presently have at least one or two extensions to export to a list all extensions installed, Firefox is busying at installing things like Pocket or who knows what some user might want but did not ask for.

Have you tried Hekasoft?

That's a keeper EldonW

Wish it could also export extension names and related urls to a list.

For the former you can use BrowserAddonsView.

And for the latter, export the bookmarks to HTML.

Thanks a bunch EldonW!

Even if FEBE will still be missed, you have at least taken some of the pain away.

Everysync? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...-synchronizer/

Everysync might not be as elaborate as Hekasoft Backup/Restore, but you can use it on every platform.
