It doesn't seem to work under Ubuntu at present.
BackupBird rsjtdrjgfuzkfg
Backup your Bird! BackupBird writes, reads and manages Backups. The AddOn RatingFile is required.
Description
BackupBird is in alpha state!
BackupBird is an AddOn to provide basic, platform-independent backup support to save and restore Preferences and important Library information (think about profile crashes or other terrible things).
You can find it in the Tools-Menu.
Be careful: Restoring Backups will overwrite Data!
It backups the "about:config" Preferences and optionally a RatingFile; RatingFile is required to install BackupBird (if a developer out there knows a better solution than hard-linking the .properties and .js, please leave a comment ;) ).
Requires:
RatingFile
Features:
Version 0.9
Backup Manager
Preference (about:config) Backup
RatingFile Backup
Restore Preferences Dialog to choose parts of about:config
Will come in future releases:
Auto-Backup via time-interval
Maybe Backup more things (Like AddOns, real Library... Ideas? Post!)
Known Bugs:
-Not all Preferences are saved, if somebody knows a better way or an additional way to get Preferences than the nsIPrefService, please post!
-Some problems with the UI between restoring and restarting; maybe I'll add an auto-restart later.
If you like the Add-On you might translate it into your language:

If the Add-On doesn't work at your machine, please post here!
Please post a comment and/or rate, don't be afraid posting bugs and ideas!
Release Notes
-Added other System to restore preferences,
-choose preferences in tree-view
-added list of dangerous preferences (not sure if complete)

@davidnottingham:
What do you mean with "not work"?
Does the backup fail, the restore, are there error messages, messages in the error console...?
This AddOn is in alpha state, means that there was only minor testing up to now; Would you like to support this AddOn with some testing?

@davidnottingham:
Just tested it under Ubuntu, restoring an Windows (!) Profile succeed.
