  1. How do you export passwords from Palemoon?
    You can use an add-on for that: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... -exporter/
  2. Is there a MozBackup for Palemoon?
    Yes, it's called... Mozbackup ;-)
    You can use Mozbackup for the Pale Moon profiles by selecting "Portable" to allow you to choose your own profile folder.
    In Windows XP you can find this at c:\documents and settings\{user name}\Application Data\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon
    In Windows Vista/7 you can find this at c:\users\{user name}\AppData\Roaming\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon
  3. If so what is it called so I can get it.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have MozBackup but was not aware of using "portable".

Was not aware of the password saver, I'll check it out.

I'll let you know how things work out.

BTW, can you direct me to the "profile pg" link? I don't see a link/button/etc in the "normal place", in the header?

Thanks your suggestions worked.

I did run into 1 kerfuffle using Mozbackup

However FirefoxExporter saved the passwords. Looks like Mozbackup does not save all of Palemoons settings as it does for Firefox. What do I need to do for Mozbackup to save all selected settings? I'm new to Palemoon so Im just getting acquainted. SEE IMAGE BELOW:
