    Thanks for the information that tells about the Firefox details, though in addition to it, we can take a backup of everything regarding Firefox Like Bookmarks, Passwords, Favourites, Profiles etc. even Backup of Firefox itself too.

  2. We can also use a free service like Xmarks to backup and Synchronize the Bookmarks in all the Browsers..
