How to automatically Backup Firefox everything?

Hi, I'm looking for a way for everything saved on my firefox account including bookmarks, favorites, history etc.. to be automatically saved/backed up, EXACTLY the same way like Apple has it with iCloud.

If I lose my phone, I can log into icloud and get everything 100% the way it was on my new phone.

If I reset my computer, I want to be able to log into my firefox account and have everything exactly the same.

How to do this? I was told the firefox account sync doesn't back anything up...

That's correct. That's exactly why I'm asking how to automatically restore all my data once I log into my Firefox account. Why don't you have a backup system?

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switching-devices - these talk about MANUAL backup. I need automatic like with iCloud like I said in my example.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/966133 - my PC reset and I did enter my email address and password (no special key was required), and nothing was restored on my PC.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1381158 - the correct path is actually This PC > Windows > Users > Username > AppData > Local > Mozilla > Firefox and that doesn't have any of my bookmarks even though I selected bookmarks to be shown under "sync settings".
