Windows11

Have Firefox on my PC; want to export (which I understand how to do) to the desktop of a second PC, and then import them from there.

When I attempt to import from the Desktop HTML file on the second machine, I open the desktop file, the bookmarks do not show up in the toolbar; in Manage Bookmarks I can see that a new toolbar is created for each time I attempt the process.

How to get the bookmarks into the Toolbar of Firefox on the second machine?

Thank you / much appreciated.

Make sure that those bookmarks are in the real "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder, positioned directly under the "All Bookmarks" folder, and not in a folder named "Bookmarks Toolbar" under the "Bookmarks Menu" folder as sometimes can happen if you import an HTML backup. You can mover the bookmarks via a Cut/Paste action to the correct folder.
