Interesting discovery, Charles. I had not tried bookmark export until your message. You apparently found a Mozilla bug.any suggestions on what might be causing this behavior, or a workaround?
Here is a methodology I used to find a workaround.
First I tried, Red hat icon --> Search Files --> search for "bookmarks.html" beginning with / (root directory). I chose "bookmarks.html" as the file to search for as that was the name of the file that should have been created in my /home/username directory. Two files named "bookmarks.html" that are mozilla distribution defaults were found in /usr/ subdirectories, but nothing else.
So, I went to a terminal command line and entered ls -al (that is -a followed by lower case L) at the prompt $
Output of the command is a listing of all files and directories in your user directory, including hidden files and directories that are not listing in the nautilus window launched by double clicking on the "User's home" folder on the desktop. One of the hidden folders was named .mozilla. I changed to the .mozilla directory as in
$ cd /home/<username>/.mozilla
and repeated the first terminal command line.
$ ls -al
and repeated the above steps, tracing the .mozilla subdirectory branchs until I found a file named "bookmarks.html."
Point your mozilla browser at file:///home/dcurry/.mozilla/default/rsrpegy6.slt/bookmarks.html and you will see your mozilla bookmark file in the full glory of html which you can then save by a different file name in either html or text.
