Why Firefox has not backup tool? backup of bookmarks and extensions and urlbar and fields history. just there is an old third-party tool named "MozBackup 1.5.1" that is old and now doesn't work full and true. i don't like sync. please develop it. ok?

hello, all your customizations are stored within the firefox profile folder, which you could backup manually in regular intervals: Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles

These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backup of files that you choose.
