Firefox-bookmarks are stored in ~/.mozilla/firefox/YourProfilename/bookmarks.html, so you could simply copy this file as a backup. By copying ~/.mozilla/firefox/ you would backup your entire FF-Profile (themes, addons, history etc.). Remember to shut FF down before doing so, otherwise it will contain a lock-file which won't let you start FF after using the profile-backup.

you can also press strg + shift + B
Then you can backup/export your booksmarks with firefox.

Do you saying FF is Firefox :???: and what is that strg is it CTRL or CTRL is english/STRG is german is that wright?

Apzolutelay wright! Yet the shortcut Jägerschlürfer mentioned does not work for me (never heard of it either...).

But Firefox does have it's own backup-option, you can find via "Bookmarks" → "Organize bookmarks" → "Import and backup" (didn't know that before either). That should be the easiest way.
