I often write about Firefox Search Plugins. Well, here’s two new Firefox extensions that may be of some use to those of you with multiple computers.
FEBE is the Firefox Extension Backup Extension which “allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up — It will actually rebuild your extensions individually into installable .xpi files. Now you can easily synchronize your office and home browsers.”
CLEO is the Compact Library Extension Organizer which “is a Firefox extension that works with FEBE to package any number of extensions/themes into a single, installable .xpi file.”
