mozbackup

saves all the things you want into a zip file (but renames it .PCV)

Be warned it doesn't just take the profile and copy it - it only takes the files it "knows", so some of your files might get missed, like extension prefs.

If you want a complete copy of your profile, it's (by default) at %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[random characters].[profile name]
