Answer 1

Look at CLEO and FEBE.

FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your extensions individually into installable .xpi files. Now you can easily synchronize your office and home browsers.

CLEO (Compact Library Extension Organizer) is a Firefox extension that works with FEBE to package any number of extensions/themes into a single, installable .xpi file.

^{also, OPIE (Ordered Preference Import/Export) is a Firefox extension that allows you to import and export your installed extension preferences. This is useful when installing extensions in a new profile, or synchronizing multiple Firefox installations.}

I also keep my profile backed up for recovery and to start using it on a new machine.

Answer 2

I used CLEO and FEBE until I found MozBackup. Is far easier to use and allows you to backup and restore bookmarks, mail, contacts, history, extensions, passwords, etc.

Answer 3

nik's answer referencing FEBE is probably what you're looking for. Just wanted to point out that mozilla also provides the 'addon collector' extension that allows you to subscribe to extension collections. If you also install the 'massive extender' extension, you can install all your add-ons in one batch.

Answer 4

You can also create an Add-On collection on Mozilla's web site, and list all your favorite extensions there. Also, you can use the add-on collector to subscribe to others collections..
