Backup your Firefox extensions easily (Windows only)

At last count, I have 32 extensions installed on Firefox. Needless to say, re-installing every time I set up a new version of Firefox on a machine is major PITA. When I first heard about the Firefox Extension Backup Extension (FEBE), I was really excited. This puppy not only backs up all your extensions, but also “will actually rebuild your extensions individually into installable .xpi files”. Slick. Then I found about the same dude’s Compact Library Extension Organizer (CLEO), which “works with FEBE to package any number of extensions/themes into a single, installable .xpi file.” Holy mackeral! Now THAT is uber-useful! Gimme some of that!

Unfortunately, the dang thing only works on Windows, which is nice for the Windows users, but just sucks completely for Linux & Mac OS users. C’mon … we’re beggin’ you! Get this thing working on the other, cooler operating systems!
