Is it possible to move multiple bookmarks from "Show All Bookmarks" to computer?

I'm trying to organize all of my bookmarks (because I have quite a few) by putting them on my computer. I can drag and drop them from the "Show All Bookmarks" library; however, I can only drag them over one at a time.

If I try to drag multiple bookmarks over, it looks like it should work ( https://i.imgur.com/SoPnF5V.png ), but when I drop the files onto my computer, nothing happens.

Is it possible for Firefox to do this?

(Also, why I used an imgur link instead of just uploading an image to this post is because it's been trying to upload for a while now and I'm not sure if it's going to show up.)

Did you try highlighting all the bookmarks you want to drag?

Yep, it should show that in the imgur link.

Try highlighting all those Bookmarks and then do a copy'n'paste into a text editor application.

Works for me!


The image upload is squirly sometimes in the initial posting that starts a new thread.

If you paste a selection of multiple bookmarks to the clipboard then you should get clickable links (a href tags) if you paste this in a HTML capable editor (flavor text/html), otherwise you only get the links and not the title (text/unicode).
