You can copy/backup certain files in the current profile folder with Firefox closed. Note that best is to avoid copying a full profile folder if you restore profile data.

You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).
