That must relate to your OS; I have never had that problem. You can backup bookmarks specifically. From the menubar, Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks or ctl+shft+o. From the menu at the top Import and Backup > Backup. After updating, get the same window then Import and Backup > Restore > Choose File.

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox? Look inside. Look for the folder with the latest creation date.
