A simple way to back up and achieve all your data is ArchiveFacebook. This is a free tool that allows you to save content from your Facebook account directly to your hard drive. If you are using any other browser then you will have to use extension by installing Firefox so as to backup data and it can be uninstalled later.

Currently ArchiveFacebook can save your:

Photos

Info

All you need to do

If you are Scrapbook Firefox Extension users then you would have to uninstall it as both cannot be run simultaneously
Then get a Facebook vanity URL for your account as ArchiveFacebook does not work without it. Once you log in with username you are set for further.
Now you can install Archive Facebook extension from your add-on gallery. Just visit the page and click on download.
Once the installation is done you should see a new menu item “ArchiveFB” in Firefox between the Bookmarks and the Tools menu.
Select ArchiveFB –> Archive from the main menu.
Have patients. It will take several minutes to an hour to archive your account depending on the amount of content to be archived.
When the archiving has completed, you will see a “Facebook” menu option added to the ArchiveFacebook menu. Select this option to view your archived account.

ArchiveFB will store your Facebook date copy within your browser Firefox; you can find ArchiveFB folder automatically generated in your browser profile folder where your data is stored. In case you use different browser then go to Tools > Options > Organize tab and specify the location where you needs the data to be stored.

Sakib Mahmud — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 11:40:25 +0000

The people who are behind the firefox web browser they have been thinking for a long time — how the browser will handle tabs in future. The discussion mainly centralized in “when you’re opening a new tab, is it blank screen, or showing rss feed updates”. Also a list of frequently visited pages and one developers novel idea “if firefox didn’t have any tabs at all? What it will be?

Oliver Reichenstein says browser tabs worked well back when we’d only have a few web pages open at a time. Now that it’s not uncommon for users to have a dozen or more tabs, it’s increasingly difficult to tell what’s going on in the browser tab bar or find the tab you’re looking for

Oliver Reichenstein has created a mockup firefox version which looks like iTunes and you can make tags per web pages, easy to sort out by search engine, category pages and so on options.

However, it’s really interesting and common browser tab will be hopefully launch in firefox 3.5. Lets see in future.
