Today's #Firefox Nightly makes the profile backup feature available by default.
The profile backup feature, when enabled, will take a snapshot of your profile and pack it into a single file that you can restore from on the same or a different machine. You can choose to encrypt the backup with a passphrase.
In a recent #Firefox Nightly, visit about:settings#sync and scroll down to the Backup section to manage it.

@mconley Awesome, great work! Wondering, did you see the "problem" with portable versions of Firefox? Looks like they even filed a bug. https://bugzil.la/2034043

@mconley will this also affect Firefox for Android?
