unable to export bookmarks.html, tried safemode, new profile.
Windows XP Sp3 long time Firefox user. Had no trouble until version 12.0.Tried safe mode, new profile, complete uninstall /reinstall of Firefox 12.0. Cannot export bookmarks. Also Internet Explorer 8 will no longer import directly form Firefox as it used to. Probably because HTML bookmark isn't being created.
