Personal settings and data such as bookmarks, history, cookies, and saved passwords are essential to productivity. FavBackup (free) recognizes the importance of such data and offers an easy and comprehensive way to back it all up. Perhaps even more useful, you can use the program to migrate settings to a browser on a different computer.
