I got many different search engines added to my search toolbar in Firefox (version 8). As I'm facing a soon re-install of my O/S, I need want to backup these search engines - preferably also the keywords I set up for them.

Does anyone know where I can find (save/export/backup) these settings in Mac OS ?

You can save all your personalization of Firefox if you save the Firefox profile directory and then restore that data after the installation.

The Firefox's documentation mention that the profile directory under Mac OS is one of these:

  • ~/Library/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/<profile folder>
  • ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile folder>
