Backup your Firefox and Thunderbird Profiles

For those of you who haven't yet heard, Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird are two first-rate programs designed to surf the world wide web, and receive and send emails from POP and IMAP email accounts. Because of their popularity a programmer has made a program called Mozbackup. Its a great little program and allows you to backup all your settings, bookmarks, emails etc. from Mozilla Suite, Firefoz and Thunderbird.

In V1.4 BETA a new feature was added which could allow automatic backup. Finding this I made a batch file (a mini program) which could then automatically backup Firefox and Thunderbird in one go which is quite time saving.

If you would like a copy of my Auto-Backup Variant of MozBackup 1.4 BETA you can download below, or just paste the following code in a text file, and then change the file type to Batch (*.bat). I hope you find it helpful.
