Firefox Saved Passwords: Backing Up


I started using Firefox's built-in save-password functionality, protected by a master password. My question: Where is the locked password data stored? If I backup my profile folder, will that back up my password data as well? Just want to make sure I don't lose all those passwords if my drive crashes or something like that.
