I'm trying to export my bookmarks to an html file, but I can't get to the bookmarks library screen where it shows the import export option. My toolbars don't show the bookmarks icon and when I try to add it, it continues to be hidden. I tried to reset the the toolbars to the default settings, but when I hit done, it reverts back to the same view. Any help would be appreciated.

You can use Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks via the menu bar or via the orange Firefox menu button to access the Library.

  • Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).

If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.
Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.

hello pingiii, ctrl+shift+b is the keyboard shortcut to open the library - hopefully you can access it like this...
