When I go to Manage Bookmarks to back up, it says "No Items", but all my bookmarks are there on the LH window.

Although Firefox for Android can be run on a desktop (typically a Chromebook) it does not have a manage bookmarks option.

To back up your bookmarks your will need to sync the data to a copy of Firefox for desktop where you will have the options that you are looking for.
