I use this neat plug-in for Firefox called Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer which “automatically synchronizes your bookmarks between two or more computers running Firefox.” (Foxmarks website)
This way if something does happen you can your bookmarks from the website.

Just something to look into

Here is another method:

1) Create a folder “Mozilla Backups” (or similar) on one of your local drives.

2) Buy a new, good quality USB key or use another reliable USB drive. Create a second folder there “Mozilla Backups”.

3) In Mozilla, click Help / Get More Extensions. Search “FEBE” and install.

4) Restart and open FEBE Options via Tools / Addons. Click on Folder tab. Set drive and folder path there.

5) Run from Tools / FEBE / Perform Backup. FEBE will back up all your extensions and bookmarks. It will create a report page in a new tab.

6) Copy this “Mozilla Backups” folder to the USB key. Let it write over the folder there.

7) Create a routine for backups. And rest.

Note: if you run more than one profile it is a good idea to create seperate backup folders for these.
