First of all, thank you for your service to your country and thank you for any contributions that you have made to Mozilla. We are glad that you enjoy Firefox and thank you for your support.

In regards to your problem, Firefox stores your bookmarks differently than other browsers. We do that to make Firefox run faster and save space on your system.

You should still be able to drag and drop a bookmark from the Firefox Bookmarks Manager onto your desktop to access your favourite websites. You also check out this Mozilla support article for more information:

I hope that I have provided the information that you require.
