    Maybe the wrong place to go.

    Anyone use Mozbackup for Firefox or Thunderbird?

    I have used it for three different PCs over the years without any problems.

    On this new one I can't get it to run. When I try a popup appears for less than half a second. Then nothing happens.

    This is a Lenovo Thinkpad running Win7 SP1 pro 31-bit.

    The only way I can stop Mozbackup is through the task manager. When I attempt to end task I get a message that it is waiting for a response from me. Then I can end it anyway.

    Thanks,
    Richard

    Are the other PCs running Windows 7 SP1 or newer?

    Mozbackup is independent of FF version.

    In fact it won't start until FF and/or TB are shut down.

    I am going to download the beta version and try it.

    I am not able to ask the author. It's a long story if anyone cares.

    Richard, I asked about the other PCs because the last stable version of Mozbackup was released a month after SP1 for Windows 7. That doesn't necessary mean it was updated for SP1. Hopefully the Beta version works. If I can find a similar program, I'll let you know.

    Thanks for all of your help and suggestions.

    There may be some software issues. I am going to leave mozbackup alone before I get an insane urge to try to fix this problem with my sledge hammer.

    Interesting...

    I searched, but the only backup programs I found are for either Firefox, or Thunderbird. Sorry I couldn't help. :-o

    JoeRay12, thanks for posting that it still works on three newer OSes even though it appears it has been abandoned.
