Before doing anything, first do this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-sync-my-computer

This will help. It is not a backup but it helps.



Please read here specifically for the refresh feature https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings


What does the refresh feature do?

All of your Firefox settings and personal information are stored in a profile folder. The refresh feature works by creating a new profile folder for you while saving your important data.

Add-ons which are normally stored inside the Firefox profile folder, such as extensions and themes, will be removed. Add-ons stored in other locations will not be removed but any modified preferences will be reset.


Firefox will save these items:

   Bookmarks
   Browsing and download history
   Passwords
   Open windows and tabs
   Cookies
   Web form auto-fill information
   Personal dictionary 

These items and settings will be removed:

   Extensions and themes
   Website permissions
   Modified preferences
   Added search engines
   DOM storage
   Security certificate and device settings
   Download actions
   Toolbar customizations
   User styles (chrome subfolder containing userChrome and/or userContent CSS files, if previously created.)

Does print preview show your printer options? That would be first to see what is there to choose to make sure something isn't missing. Sometimes printer don't like wifi and USB connections at the same time you have to use one or the other.
