In 2019, I'm unable to find a downloadable copy of MozBackup 1.5.2 Beta-1 . I'll use v.1.5.1, but it sounds like others have had problems with it. Are there any supported alternatives?

Here is a new Testversion from MozBackup (1.5.2 Beta 2). (today compiled). It is make from the source from 1.5.2 Beta 1)
@Tom Daniel : Test it. Maybe that your problem is away. If not, i need some more info about the Problem
Yes, i change the ZIP engine from 1.90 to 1.92. Then i need to change a little bit of the code, so i can compile it under Embarcadero Delphi 10.3.1 Community Edition .
At last i change the make to compile a 32 and 64 Bit version of Mozillabackup. (You see both Versions in the ZIP. )
Both Versions works here well .

Thank you again!
My problem is actually with backing up the recent Firefox (I am working on diagnosis, but looks like 1.5.1 and 1.5.2beta1 both failed to backup or restore certain addons they had done OK before... in several profiles, they still restore earlier backups perfectly!) - do you think your version will work for firefox?
(Addons which malfunctioned after mozrestored: tree tabs, zoompage and crappy firetitle)
(FF was autoupdated when the backup was done, 25 Sept 2019, so maybe was v68? now v69)

Tried MozBackup 1.52 Beta -1 which was able to do the backup, so I will just use that from now on. Problem solved.
