I have googled instructions on how to export bookmarks to a file so I can reset FF because it's crashing a lot. But the instructions are bogus. There is no bookmark library or bookmark organizer.

You can access the Bookmarks Manager (Library) via "Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks".

You can export the bookmarks in Firefox to an HTML file:

  • Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML

You can also create a JSON backup:

  • Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Backup
  • An HTML backup doesn't support tags and annotations, so if you want to preserve those then you need to use a JSON backup.
  • Restoring a JSON backup will replace all existing bookmarks, so existing bookmarks are lost.
  • Importing an HTML backup will merge the imported bookmarks with existing bookmarks, so you do not lose the bookmarks that you already have, but you may get duplicate bookmarks if some already exist.
