I'm using Firefox 153.0 on a Windows 11 desktop. I'm trying to use the feature that backs up my profile (bookmarks, history, and other data). When I turn Backup on, I'm asked where to store the backup, and I accept the default of putting it on my OneDrive. When a backup begins, an empty folder named "Restore Firefox" appears in my OneDrive, as expected. Firefox shows a message like "backup in progress." After a minute or so, the "Restore Firefox" folder disappears. After another minute or so (not immediately), Firefox tells me the backup failed and that I should try again later.

I assume the backup failed because the folder it was trying to use isn't there, but why did it get deleted?

There is ample space on my OneDrive and on my local system (100s of GB). I am using the ESET security software package, but it did not raise any warnings or errors.

I pressed the backup button to backup my firefox stuff before switching to linux, and now that im on linux the file i was given a docx file, is completely unusable to restore anything, meaning that about a dozen of my accounts are completely lost, I did not do anything to the "backup" file besides put it into my google drive.

I noticed that ‌import‌ bookmarks is already available in Nightly, but ‌export‌ bookmarks is still missing on Android. I'd rather not use Firefox Sync for privacy reasons, so a native export option (e.g., to HTML) would be greatly appreciated.

Has anything changed in the ability to export bookmarks either html or csv since the last time question was asked 2 yrs ago, as far as I found? This is ff beta - android - moto power.... I cannot wrap my head around the gymnastics of sync and back up and desktop and yadda yadda that I read about.

I was about to dl 151, move on from this Beta when having to export bookmarks and passwords became a necessity. Anybody have good news to tell me that the technology of bookmarks has improved at least at the same rate of browser development over past 2 years? thank you good luck Happy Memorial Day and to our vets: thank you for your service.

I fear I must reset or reinstall Firefox. Before I do that, I want to save the URLs of the open windows. Or save a larger set of URLs, such as shown in the Library window at History>Last 7 Days.

How can I save this data?
