Mozilla Firefox is open freeware software developed
by Mozilla Corporation, powered with the Gecko search engine. The browser
application comes loaded with features that allow the user to customize and
edit a number of applications. Like other browsers, say for example Google
chrome or IE, the browser can be made to remember your search interests,
history and bookmarks. Backing up your Internet history in Firefox only takes a
few minutes. Follow the tips below to create a backup of the Firefox browser
history.
