Apart from Chrome or Firefox we rarely seek out an alternative browser to Edge or IE. The mentioned browsers have been around for a while, and when it comes to browsers, people are reluctant to shift to new browsers due to a lack of familiarity with the features. Palemoon Browser is a browser based on Firefox’s open code and aims at providing better speed and performance. With the rise in the number of Palemoon users, a need to back up the browser profile has arisen – and this is where a good free software like Pale Moon Profile Backup Tool can be of immense help.
Pale Moon Profile Backup Tool
Pale Moon Profile Backup Tool is freeware meant for the Pale Moon browser. It helps users backup their Pale Moon profiles with relative ease. Users can create a backup of their browser data, settings, configurations, and customizations. It has been created for people who have been using the browser’s standard installation and know their way around the Windows operating system.
The tool makers have ensured that the backup files are adequately encrypted and that the files are compressed to the maximum limit without damaging them. Folks using this browser in a custom location will not need this tool as they would already save their profiles in a custom location.
The files are compressed using 7-z compression at considerable speed without actually feasting on computing resources. You can also disable compression if you wish.
Backup Pale Moon user profile & data
Moving on, the Interface is pretty simple and yet it is intuitive.
Backing up the file is extremely easy. Close your Pale Moon browser and run the tool. Next, click on the Backup button. You can also set up the backup path if you want the backup files to reside in the location of your choice.
The Backup feature will overwrite only one copy every day thus ensuring that your profiles are backed up daily. The Show command window, when selected, shows the command window for the 7-zip packer and it will be handy for people who need to fiddle with the advanced settings to troubleshoot.
Pressing the Refresh icon will open up an explorer window and redirect to the folder wherein the backups are stored. This will allow the users to delete, manage, and rewrite the backup files.
To restore a profile, just press the Restore button and select the profile to be restored.
If you use the Pale Moon browser, you can download the tool from palemoon.com. It will work if you have installed the browser and are not using its portable version.
