In case you just want to back-up your bookmarks, no add-ons are reqd.
1.) Go to Bookmarks>Organise Bookmarks
2.) In the Bookmarks Manager window, go to File>Export. There, save your bookmarks in a HTML file.

Thanks everyone for your fast response.

Can i restore these later if i delete some of the bookmarks accidentially or in case of reinstalling windows

Same... This time... Click on Import and then point to the HTML file you saved your bookmarks into.......

thanks

Import it to HTML which backs up all ur Bookmarks..In case u want to backup extensions,themes,bookmarks,profile..Then use FEBE extension for FF

I use following trick to set a separate location for my firefox bookmarks file. I always set the bookmark location to a drive other than windows drive, so that if windows got corrupt or I hv to reinstall windows, I never loose my ff bookmarks.

Just export ur ff bookmarks as Lunky_Star and kaustav suggested for only one time and save the file to a location, which is safe. Then type %appdata% in RUN dialog box and goto:

\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\random_character_and_numbers.default

now open prefs.js file and add following line in the end of this file:

user_pref("browser.bookmarks.file", "E:\\Setup\\bookmarks.html");

Here, "E:\\Setup\\bookmarks.html" is the location, where I hv stored the bookmarks file, change it to ur location and make sure to use \\ instead of \.

Now ff will automatically use the above mentioned file for storing ur bookmarks and u'll hv to never take a backup of ur bookmarks.

^^^Whoa!! Great..
I liked it very much.

I bookmark sites everyday. And my windows corrupts every two months as usual. This is a very good trick. No need to export again...

THANX A LOT!!!...You are really a most valuable proffesional!!

Any Idea, how to achieve the same thing in Linux ?

in Linux mozilla(ff) stores all datas in ~/.mozilla/firefox directory.the install lib will be in /usr/lib/iceweasel(firefox)/
hopefully u can hack the script(firefox-bin) or in distributions like Debian,Ubuntu goto /etc/firefox(iceweasel) directory.

Vishal ...I just found this ............. link

@kaustav

^^ Goto following folder:

Or u can alrenatively, type about:config in firefox addressbar and can add the key manually.
