As per the instructions, I am trying to find the option to 'Sort bookmarks" in the menu bar... But it does not show in version 11. So how can I export my bookmarks to Safari ? Thanks

On the subject of sorting: this works on Windows, so hopefully there is a similar option on MacOS.

Open the bookmarks sidebar (View > Sidebar > Bookmarks).

Toward the top of the list, right-click Bookmarks Menu and choose Sort by Name

Any luck?

As for exporting to Safari, if Safari can import bookmarks in the classic Netscape HTML format, this article explains how to export in that format: Exporting bookmarks to an HTML file | How to | Firefox Help.

You can open the bookmarks manager via Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks and export the Bookmarks to an HTML file via the Organize button (third button with the star on the toolbar in the Library).

That doesn't have anything to do with sorting bookmarks that isn't possible to do on Mac via the right-click context menu of the bookmarks menu.

Where did you read that you need to look for Sort Bookmarks to export bookmarks?
