I used MozBackup to backup my Firefox profile and after I installed Firefox on Windows 7 I simply restored the profile using Mozback up again.
Everything worked perfectly but strangely all my extension weren't working so i uninstalled all the extensions and tried to reinstall them but i get this error
Has anyone encountered this? Any solutions?
A possible solution from here says:
99% of the time it is going to be caused by corrupted configuration files on your computer.
To fix this problem follow these steps:
- Close Firefox
- Locate your Profile Folder
Delete the following files from your profile folder:
extensions.ini
extensions.cache
extensions.rdfRestart Firefox.
When Firefox restarts it will automatically rebuild the 3 files in step #3 above and should allow you to be able to install add-ons again.
I suggest you using FEBE backup extension next time.I am using it and I got no problem up to now.You can pack all your extensions,bookmarks etc.. into one .xpi file so next time you can restore them with a one single click after Firefox set-up.
