    Those are stored in your profile in Documents and Settings>"your username">Application Data (you made need to enable "view hidden files/folders" to see it)>Mozilla>Firefox>profiles

    When you do a fresh install of Firefox, drag your previous profile from there and replace the profile in your new Firefox to have all your addons and whatnots.

    A tip for when you find another add-on for firefox.

    Make a directory first on your d drive and call it for example Firefox Extensions.

    When you find an extension you like, right click on extension and safe it to the directory you made.

    Now you click the same extension to install. After restarting firefox the add on will be installed.

    By saving it first, you wil not loose your extensions, in case you uninstall Firefox or when your pc crashes and you have to format your pc.

    The reason that I do not use Firefox 3 is, because my add-ons I use in Firefox 2 did not work in 3. Therefore I went back to firefox 2. My add-ons are too important. Therefore I save them first in my d drive directory

    The extensions will be found in......

    My computer/:C/ Program Files/ Mozilla Firefox/ and then under the extensions folder. They will all be in there.

    Hope This Helped!!
