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

Hi

To clarify, are you referring to Firefox for Android or Firefox on a desktop or laptop computer?

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.

Thanks Paul In the past I have always been able to export my bookmarks to a back up file so I'm not sure why this no longer possible My tech skills are very limited. Can you set out steps for me to sync the data as you describe?
