After asking around the rest of my friends he seems to be a very controversial figure. What does the forum think? do you love the all action superhero? Or do you hate the droning voice of the man who does nothing but action shooters?

They are very slow to develop. Maybe some out of work developers could assist with the project? I just wish it worked with Gutsy. They are very slow to develop.

However, it's an overkill just to preserve Firefox settings. All you have to do is backup your profile. In Ubuntu, it's ~/.mozilla as mentioned in the article. Just copy it to a safe place (usb flash/external harddrive/different partitin) and copy it back after you reistall. It's even possible to use a single profile in a dual-boot setting because Ubuntu can read and write NTFS partitions. To make it work, you have to edit ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini to look like this: [General] StartWithLastProfile=1 [Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=0 Path="/media/[Your Mounted NTFS Partition]/Documents and Settings/[Windows User Name]/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/[Your Profile Folder]" Obviously, the path can be set to anything, so where you put your Firefox profile is entirely up to you. I have it on my home server :) Reconstructor certainly seems to be a fine app for making customized Ubuntu cds. However, it’s an overkill just to preserve Firefox settings.

Sounds like a very cool program!

I've moved to Flock recently tho, check my blog for some info on it, if you haven't already. It's so much smoother, sleeker, and faster than firefox. As a fellow Firfox guru, I feel your pain.
