hmmm why dont u just save the folders ?
then when u do a fresh install ... overwrite the folders ... itll be back with ur settings and updates

go here

C:\Documents and Settings\Shekhar\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\9lvnm71m.default

of course there will be ur name in place of my name

now here u'll find

Bookmarks.HTML file... which is your Bookmarks...

Insided Extensions folder... you'll find Themes and Extensions you download to "get the look" before... inside folder names like this
{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}

Save these both things... as backup for Firefox 1.0...

Hmmm... I don't know how to backup rest of things like saved form and password informations etc. ... wait for other's replies... or Google around...

Downloaded updates of Spybot are located here...

C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Updates

Not sure about System mechanic 'coz I don't use it...

You can use a third party utility called FirefoxBackup to backup your bookmarks & cookies.

To backup Spybot , System mechanic, etc, just copy the entire folder itself. Usually most utilities dont require re-installation.
