Missing Import and Backup button in Library
MBP Pro mid 2012, Firefox 79.0, High Sierra 10.13.6
I want to backup my bookmarks. When I do the following, the Library window opens but the Import and Backup button is missing. I've attached a screen shot.
1) Click Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks from the menu bar.
2) In the Library window that opens, click the Import and Backup button in the toolbar.
I am moving to a new MBP so I need to do a backup to import my bookmarks on the new computer.
Thanks for your help

Hi trailmk
Import and Backup is the third button on the toolbar in the Bookmarks Manager (Library).

On Mac you only have three icons on the toolbar in the Library and no text to easily identify their meaning. In the Bookmarks Manager (Library) there is a toolbar with the Back and Forward button and three other buttons (Organize, Views, Import & Backup). If you hover a button then you should see a descriptive tooltip text.
- first button (cogwheel
): Organize (Organize your bookmarks)
- second button (
): Views (Change your view)
- third button (up/down arrow
): Import & Backup (Import and backup your bookmarks)

co-el,
Thank you so much! I thought the third button was for sort order - LOL.
I would NEVER have figured this out - you're a life saver.
