Hi twotanked, Firefox doesn't have a method to share or print bookmarks. Here is a roundabout way to extract the list:
(1) Export your bookmarks to an HTML-format file
This article has the steps: Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks
(2) Open your HTML-format file in a Firefox tab
It's a web page.
(3) Use Find to track down the folder you want to share/print
(4) Select the part of the page you want to share/print
(5) Options:
(A) Copy the selection and paste it into an email for sharing -- if it's an HTML email, the lines should be preserved
(B) Print the selection -- doesn't show the URLs
- Use the Ctrl+P shortcut for this because going through Print Preview may not offer the same option
- Click Selection in the Page Range section of the Print dialog
There is a way to modify the page to show the URLs after the bookmark titles. I can post that later if you're interested.

I should mention that there are numerous bookmark-related add-ons available, and one of those might have a more convenient way to do this if you need to do it often.

You can also do this:
- open the bookmarks library (Ctrl+Shift+B)
- select one or more bookmark folders
- copy it (Ctrl+C)
- paste into a text file
The URLs and the (sub-)folder names are copied.
