Export and Import your Firefox extensions with OPIE

OPIE

OPIE is a Firefox add-on that lets you backup your other Firefox add-ons. While that might sound a lot like FEBE, another popular Firefox extension, there's at least one major difference: OPIE works with Firefox 3. Actually, make that two major differences, because OPIE also gives you the option of saving multiple extensions in one file, while FEBE users will need to install a separate application called CLEO.
You can use OPIE to choose from your list of installed plugins, selecting just the ones you want to backup, and where you want to save them. The result is a file which you can use to load your favorite plugins into Firefox on another machine.

FEBE and CLEO: Backup and pack your Firefox extensions into one .xpi

FEBEFEBE and CLEO are a pair of Firefox extensions for backing up your Firefox extensions. FEBE takes an installed extension and repackages it as an installable .xpi file. It will also optionally back up themes, bookmarks, passwords, etc. CLEO is a second extension from the same author that will take a number of extensions or themes of your choosing and package them all as a single .xpi, so they can all be installed at once. Unfortunately FEBE and CLEO are Windows-only, but if you run WIndows and find yourself installing Firefox or creating new profiles with the same extensions often, or just want a nice backup solution, FEBE and CLEO are definitely worth checking out.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
