MailBrowserBackup: Backup Your Web Browsers and Email Clients Profiles

When we start using a web browser, it automatically creates a new user profile or account for us to store our browsing data, cache, cookies, bookmarks, customized settings, etc. Similarly desktop email client programs also create a user profile for us to store our email account settings, emails, preferences, etc.

I always advise people to regularly export or backup bookmarks so that they can restore them if they reinstall Windows or the web browser in same or a different device. All web browser allow users to take a backup of bookmarks. For example, following screenshot shows import/export feature present in Firefox Bookmarks manager:
