febe will do the trick - you can both back up things as a single xpi file, or individually.
I haven't used it recently so I can't remember if it backs up settings. Some folk seem to report issues backing up, but that seems to be an issue with permissions more than anytbing else. The nice thing is this is an extention, and I believe cross platform.
For windows, if you want a full backup of your mozilla firefox or thunderbird environment, or more than just xpi files, take a look at mozbackup. Its a third party bit of software that does more complete backups. Its what I use now.
