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).
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them

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.
