I need to export my bookmarks but the "Organize bookmarks" is not available in the menu anymore. How can I proceed?

I have FireFox 7.0.1 (italian), I need to save my bookmarks not to have to retype them while migrating to the new OS. In yor help pages it is stated that I can save bookmarks going under BookMarks menu, selecting Organiza bookmarks… and saving them as HTML. The prblem is: there is no such a menu voice, so I cannot save my bookmarks (or I do not know how to do it).

"Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in Firefox 4 and later.

Were you able to open the Library via "Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks"?

At the top of the Bookmarks Manager there are 3 buttons (Organize,Views,Import & Backup) on the toolbar next to the Back and Forward button.

  • The first button is the Organize button with basic edit menu items for bookmarks
  • The second button is the Views button that allows to change the sort order for viewing purposes (doesn't sort permanently).
  • The third button is the Import & Backup button that allows to backup and restore a JSON backup and import and export an HTML backup.

Hover each button to see the tooltip or click each of them to see what they do.
