I have downloaded and Installed several firefox add-ons and plugins. I like to be able to backup these add-ons, so that a new fresh installation does not require new Downloads.
So my question is --
How can I backup my current installed firefox add-ons, to avoid redownloading?
Edit
One answer Added a method to backup. How can i restore those add-ons without installing every add-ons I had installed ?. (Like copying add-on files on specific directories.)
Go to home directory and enable the option in Nautilus to show hidden files.(Ctrl + H)
You will see a folder called .mozilla, which you may back up to external media or copy to another location.
If you ever need to restore from this backup, just copy this directory back to the home folder under the same name. You may need to use Ctrl + H to see it, though.
I use FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension). You can easily find it on the Add-on page of your Firefox: tools/add-ons
