Firefox Password Manager question..
The reason I keep looking for Password Manager is to be able to save it to Flashdrive just in case of Harddrive failure so I don't have to redo all of the username and password.. I mainly use Firefox Password Manager, but there one problem, it doesn't save on your harddrive or flashdrive :(. I did once accidently deleted the Firefox password manager by using third party software to clean up the disk space.. And I realized there was no saved file for this and I ending up having to redo everything..
Now only if Firefox password manager have a file (save all of the username, website and password) I would saved it to the flashdrive and be happy with Firefox Password Manager..
I couldn't find the answer for it, is there a file that store all of the information on username and password that I can save to flashdrive just in case of the hard drive failure in the future? Or do I need to find secondary Password Manager for this?
Thanks for your time xswordsmanx

You can backup logins.json and key3.db to have a backup of the passwords. You can copy these two files to a Firefox profile folder to restore the passwords or check them in the Password Manager. The two files need to match, otherwise it won't work.
You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

Last Pass saves them online, search and try as Firefox Support does not do Developers work or recommend. This is yours to figure out. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/
