Hi Folks,
I have been trying to setup my Portable and Desktop FireFox to synch data with various scripts and one one issue Im having is with FEBE. I have my portable FireFox setup exactly the way I want it with extensions and settings etc. I wanted to do a full backup/export of all this using FEBE but the problem is that FEBE will not export a profile named 'profile'. As portable FireFox doesnt have a profile manager does anyone know how I can change the name of the profile so I can use FEBE and make sure my portable FireFox wil continue to use the right profile?
Regards,
Dave

that isn't your problem. I've used FEBE with FFP, and it worked just fine.
If you can't get it working, copy your profile to a blank profile in an installed version of FF, and backup with FEBE from there.
@Yehoni - The issue is the name of the profile, FEBE wont work with the default profile name of 'profile'. I installed a copy of FF and then created a named profile but in the profile folder there is only one profile 'xxxxxx.default'. Each profile should have its own directory named 'xxxx.' correct?
but it doesn't create the folder unless you start FF in that profile once. Run that profile, then close it, and delete everything in the folder. Copy your FFP profile to that folder. Open FF in that profile again, and it should load the profile you copied.
I tried to make a backup of my FFP with FEBE 5.0, and you're right, it won't work anymore. If nothing else works, you could try going back to FEBE 4.0, it always worked for me.
