How to open FBU file?
The main problem with FEBE Firefox Backup Format is that the FBU file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FBU files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FBU file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install FEBE
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that FEBE is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing FEBE into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FBU with FEBE. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FBU files.
Programs to open FBU file
Remember to download programs supporting FBU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FEBE with FBU files
If, despite the installed application, the FBU file does not start in the FEBE application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the FEBE application as the default for handling the FBU file.
Step 3. Update FEBE to the latest version
If, however, after binding FEBE with FEBE Firefox Backup Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FBU file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The FBU file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to FBU files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FBU file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FBU file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FBU file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FBU file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file FBU except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the FBU file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FBU to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
