OPIE is an extension to Firefox browser that helps you to import or export all installed extension preferences.

The extension is easy to use. To export, click on export button, then "Browse" button to select a directory where the exported preferences will be stored. The "Get list" button retrieves a list of all extensions that OPIE knows about. This list is displayed in the text area along with checkboxes to select which extension preferences to export.

Double click to open a single file. Multiple files can be opened using the SHIFT-CLICK and CTRL-CLICK methods. The top text area will display the selected files.
