Many of you may have heard of MozBackup, it was a tool that supported the ability to backup and transport Mozilla-like browser profiles and compress them into a ZIP file. Lately, we don't know what has happened to the developer of MozBackup; he could be dead for all we know. That's why I created MBackup, a Mozilla profile backup program similar to MozBackup.

This program will backup Seamonkey, Firefox, Thunderbird, IceDragon, and Palemoon profiles. Yes, it has native Palemoon browser profile support. It also has support for Google Chrome like profiles as well. The whole concept of the program is to be able to make transporting profiles easy and quick. Select your profile in the list and click Backup. It will then make a compressed ZIP file containing your browser profile and all related files.

System Requirements: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0
Current Version: 1.0 Build 7
Cost: Free!

Might be interesting, but on another hand, regarding Pale Moon as Firefox or FossaMail as Thunderbird, the entire user's data is in his profile : backup the profile folder (manually or with a basic backup tool) and it's done. For other browsers a dedicated backup tool may be pertinent (I remember Opera browser with data in two separate folders), but Pale Moon is as easy as it can be.

I just downloaded and ran this program. It successfully backed up the Pale Moon profile without issues.

The program is written for the kind of person who doesn't know where to go to do said backup of their Palemoon profile. Not everyone knows Windows and where programs store their data files. This program was written for that kind of person in mind.
