Where are the saved passwords stored on my computer so I can back up the files with Carbonite?

I want to make sure that the folder and files where the passwords I've saved in Firefox are stored on my computer are being backed up by Carbonite. Please tell me where I can find the folder/files on my C: drive.

You should backup your Firefox profile folder. https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information

You need two files, key3.db and signons.sqlite, to backup the names and passwords.
