There are 2 problems. I don't know maybe they are related so I'm presenting them both. In the past both processes have worked with no problems. Windows 8.1, latest FireFox.
First: Bookmarks Backup
Bookmarks tab
Show all bookmarks
Library opens
Import and Backup
Backup
Bookmarks backup filename window opens
pick destination folder - Desktop
File name box: bookmarks-2021-06-10.json
Save
Only there isn't a file saved on my Desktop. And it's not my computer messing up. I took a snapshot of the Library Bookmarks backup filename window and saved it to the desktop and it worked fine. I thought maybe if I used File Explorer it could find the file bookmarks-2021-06-10.json. It did, but it's still not on the Desktop where I could save it to an external hard drive for a Backup. See attached files.
Second: Bookmarks delete files/folders. I can move files and folders around, just deleting or removing them is a problem.
Method A.
Bookmarks tab
right click on link or folder I want to delete
click Remove Bookmark
nothing happens
or Method B.
Bookmarks tab
Show all Bookmarks
Library window opens
right click on file/folder want to delete
Drop down menu, click Remove Bookmark
or Method C.
Bookmarks tab
Show all Bookmarks
Library window opens
choose file to delete
Organize
drop down menu, click Delete
This is where it gets confusing. For methods B and C sometimes it will delete, sometimes not. Thinking about it, mostly not. I dont know why the difference, I don't think I did anything different to delete one but not the other.
When I open the Bookmarks tab again, I can't tell if the list is the same or not. I don't think it's changed.
I worked really hard on this and then I messed up and lost everything I'd done. So, I started all over, but I don't know if this is as accurate as the first. I hope so.
Please, I'm an old lady simple answers in plain English are always appreciated.
