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.

Spoiler: trivia

"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.

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.
