Ok on the manually export/import of the bookmarks, but the about:config preferences I listed are supposed to do it when closing Firefox.

Thanks for the help.

Edit 2: If multiple Firefox windows are open, the bookmarks are written when the last window is closed.

I think what you were talking about is the bookmarks backup option, not exporting.

Use one of these to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar to close Firefox and all open windows at once.
