Portprofile is an app designed to help porting firefox profiles amongst different systems.
Motivation
I started developing portprofile because I was annoyed that everytime I installed firefox on a different machine (or after a fresh OS installation), I spent about a couple of hours configuring it, downloading all my favourite addons and setting their preferences to how I wanted them (and believe me I do this too often...... trying to test lot of linux flavous on my laptop). So, I thought it would be nice if there was a simple app that could help me backup a base firefox profile that I could then import everytime I had to install firefox. That's how I started with portprofile.
Description
Portprofile is a java application that is distributed from the browser using java web start. The interface is pretty simple with two tabs, one for exporting a profile and the other for importing a profile. The selected profile is exported as a .ppz file to the users home directory. This file can be used to import the profile on any other machine.
