Backup your Firefox, Flock, or Thunderbird profiles with MozBackup 1.4.8

MozBackup 1.4.8

Last time we checked in on Firefox backup utility MozBackup, the developer had just added support for Firefox 3 beta. Apparently it's been a busy half year over at MozBackup HQ, because this week MozBackup 1.4.8 was released, with the following new features:

  • Create automatic backups via command line
  • New Installer
  • Supports backup of unknown files from user profiles
  • Backup profiles and settings for: Firefox 2/3, Flock, SeaMonkey, Netscape Navigator 9.0, Netscape Messenger 9.0, Thunderbird, Spicebird, Firefox Portable, and Thunderbird Portable

If you're just looking or a quick way to backup your Firefox extensions, bookmarks, and other settings, you can always check out the FEBE and CLEO Firefox add-ons. But MozBackup looks like a nice all-in-on tool if you have several Mozilla-based programs that you want to backup.

MozBackup is available for Windows 98 through Vista.

Puppy Linux 3.0: tiny Linux distribution you can run from a thumb drive

Puppy Linux 3.0
Puppy Linux 3.0 was released this week, and like earlier versions of Puppy Linux, it's a tiny distro, weighing in at under 100MB. But it's packed with features, making it an excellent distribution for older computers with small hard drives and slow processors. You can also run Puppy Linux from a LiveCD or throw it on a flash drive and run it from any computer that will boot from a USB drive.

Eagle-eyed readers will note that OpenOffice alone is larger than 100MB, so what kind of applications does Puppy Linux 3.0 include?
  • AbiWord for word processing
  • Gnumeric for spreadsheets
  • SeaMonkey for web browsing
  • Pidgin for instant messaging
  • XFinans financial management
Of course, if you want to install OpenOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, or other programs on top of Puppy Linux you're free to do so. But you might want to take it easy, seeing as the more apps you add the more memory you'll use, which kind of defeats the purpose of having such a lightweight operating system.

It looks like some Puppy websites aren't responding at the moment, so here are a few alternate download links.

Mozilla SeaMonkey 1.1 is now available!

SeaMonkey 1.1It's a big day for one of Mozilla's greatest projects. "Firefox?" you ask? No, the other one. "Thunderbird?" No, no, the other one. That's right, a new version of Mozilla's internet suite SeaMonkey is available today. In case you're not familiar with it, SeaMonkey is the open source spiritual successor to Netscape Communicator. If that doesn't mean anything to you, I suddenly feel very old, but what it is is a unified collection of internet tools: web browser (based on Firefox), email, newsgroups, IRC chat, and HTML editor, all in one. So now that you're up to speed, what's new in the latest release? Well, it's not a huge update, but it's got spell check for web forms, secure site indication, tab thumbnails, drag-and-drop for URLs, tagging for email, junk mail filtering improvements and better phishing detection, and more. You can see a complete list of new features here, and the rest of the release notes over here. You can download it for Windows, OS X, or Linux on the releases page.
