🟥 Summary: **Always backup!**. Even if you don't use arkenfox

The easiest, and complete, way to backup is to copy your entire profile directory when Firefox is closed. Just backing up `prefs.js` file is not enough, and not recommended by this wiki
To find your profile directory, go to `about:support` and about the 10th item listed is `Profile Folder` with an `Open Folder` button
When copying your profile directory, make sure Firefox is closed. Rename your copied folder to something meaningful, and keep the original name (for an easy rollback). For example, if the profile folder is called `jiu9k8gm.default`, a backup copy might be called `jiu9k8gm.default-backup` or `jiu9k8gm.default-pre-arkenfox-userjs`
Be aware, that this is your entire profile. So rolling back will not keep any new cookies, saved passwords, bookmarks, extension changes and the like
