Bookmarks export to HTML taking longer
Okay, apparently it does work, but it's taking exceptionally longer than normal, in spite of it being 65 MB. Doesn't really seem that large, though I wouldn't be surprised if they're in need of massive weeding. Could also be my computer processing things, but there's hardly other processes that are draining nearly anything like Firefox does, so I'm wondering why the process takes so much longer now.

That would depend on how many entries there are. Mine is only 20 megs.
[v57+] Places Maintenance is built into Firefox.
Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.
You will find Places Database near the bottom. Press the Verify Integrity button.
When done, copy and post the results here.

As a layperson, I can already see that there's a LOT in my history, though that's not being exported, is it? And there's over 100K entries in bookmarks, so that WOULD explain things. Need to make time and weed it a LOT.
I know you can clear the browser history, but I forget if there's a way to remove individual entries like you can with cookies.
Remove History For One Site
Open the History Manager <Control><Shift> H. In the search bar, enter the name of the site. Right-click on one of the listings and select Forget About This Site. This should remove all information, including any settings.
