The best way for backup is using Firefox Sync. It will allow you to Sync simultaneously between all your device. See this article How do I set up Sync on my computer?

But as you mentioned that you want to copy your data on SD card, that's a difficult process. On Android, applications are sandboxed in a way that they are unable to see each others files. You would need root to be able to backup and restore the bookmarks file. If you have root /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/xxxxxxxx.default/browser.db would be the file.

The formats are different between desktop Firefox and Firefox for Android. Unless you are a computer wizard you won't be able to transfer the file manually.
