I like Hekasoft Backup & Restore (desktop application) which supports most browsers...

Can't you just copy the Profile folder?
You don't need any app for that. Just keep a copy of this folder: "C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\****.default-release"
I felt like the scales fell from my eyes.:)I forgot the basics...Half-hearted knowledge tends to make mistakes that bypass shortcuts.😉

"The scales fall from one's eyes"
I believed this expression was a Japanese proverb. When I thought about how to translate and looked it up, I realized that it was originally a translation from Christianity, which was directly translated into Japanese and spread.

It is really exciting and fun to encounter such knowledge! Thank you for the opportunity.:D(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)

Thanks everyone the only issue I see is what happens if you backup the Firefox profile folder and one of your addons uses a program/application that should be installed on your system ?

Like IDM and AdGuard Browser Assistant.
Both extension will remain. If not for some reason, then it's easy to reinstall these two.
