I want to format my hard drive and re-install my WinXP. I'm using Firefox and I've downloaded a lot of its extensions. Now the problem is, I can't find the .xpi files I've downloaded and installed on Firefox. I don't want to download all the extensions again after I re-install my computer. I need the .xpi files so that after I install my computer, I just add the extensions from the files without having to go to mozilla.org to download the extensions again.

I use firefox because it is a safer browser.It does slow down but it is only because firefox is checking every site you pull up for viruses or spyware. I am fine with it slowing down if it is going to keep my computer safe.
