Windows 8.1, newest Firefox

I have instructions I made the last time I backed up my bookmarks: Bookmarks button Show all bookmarks Import and backup Backup pick destination folder, in my case g drive, external hard drive File name box: bookmarks-2021-06-05.json OK But that didn't work. When I went to g/file where it should have been, it wasn't.

Went to the website, tried: Bookmarks button Show all bookmarks Import and backup Export bookmarks to .html pick destination folder, in my case g drive, external hard drive File name box: bookmarks.html OK That didn't work either. Still no file in g/file where it should have been.

Both times I went back: Bookmarks button Show all bookmarks Import and backup Import bookmarks from .html Opened the g/file where it should have been but it was empty.

Bookmarks button Show all bookmarks Import and backup Restore Opened a drop down list of previous saved file but not the current one.

I also tried going through each procedure and saving to the desktop, nothing. and still nothing.

I'm a senior at the edge of my computer ability, it takes a LOT for me to write this up just the way I did it. Please answer in simple English so I can understand.
