Hi! Firefox 58.0 64 bit Windows 10. "Export Bookmarks To HTML..." doesn't seem to be working. "Backup" option which saves bookmarks to a json file works OK. Is it just me?

Are these the instructions you followed? Where there any error messages?

Open the Bookmarks Manager; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the toolbar, and select Bookmarks. Hot key is <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> B.

Once the window is open, at the top of the page, press the button labeled Import and Backup. Select Export Bookmarks To HTML, and follow the prompts and save it to a HTML file. Copy the file to another computer. Repeat the instructions above, BUT select Import Bookmarks From HTML.
