   That's important!  I always save the .xpi for any add-on I really like   
   ... it can disappear any time, especially if mozilla gets hold of it.   
      
   And also keep a fairly up to date backup image of your disk drives too.   
   You can recover completely after a disaster, albeit with some work to   
   do.  :)
