Wanted: Firefox Plugin Dump and Reload
OS reinstallation would be much easier with a plugin that could dump your entire list of Firefox plugins and reload them later.
Does anybody know of a plugin like that? I’ve used screenshots to remember which plugins I’d installed, then reinstalled them one at a time, but that’s a remarkably sucky way to go.
What do you use to avoid having to find and reinstall your favorite plugins one at a time? Anything?

I’ve used ListZilla (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/502) in the past to export a list of the extensions so when I go to redo it I at least have the list (a little better then the screenshot method).
There is an extension called FEBE (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109) which is for backing up and reloading extensions. I’ve never used it so I can’t vouch for it, but probably worth a try.

Thanks, Kevin. I’ll definitely check those out.
