Use the Firefox SYNC, the best way to backup your content

You can use Firefox Sync to synchronize your bookmarks, passwords, settings, history, add-ons, and tabs with Firefox on other computers. First just set up Firefox Sync on your main computer and then add each of the other computers.

Firefox stores the bookmarks and the browsing history in the places.sqlite database file..

There are 10 rotating daily JSON backups (bookmarks-####-##-##.json) in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder, one for each day that Firefox is started.

Pinned (App) tabs and tab groups are stored in the sessionstore.js file.
