Could you explain what you mean by chosen bookmarks?

Firefox allows you to export ALL of your bookmarks to an HTML-format file which can be opened as a web page or imported into other browsers. If you want to do that, this support article has the steps: Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks.

This file can be edited down to a small set of bookmarks, but it could be arduous work if you do not have a visual editor for the HTML page (the code is pretty messy).

If you want to create an individual Windows-style shortcut (favorite) to a web page, you can drag and drop as follows:

  • For the currently displayed page, drag the "site identity button" (usually either a padlock or a globe icon) to the destination where you want the shortcut.
  • For a bookmark, drag the bookmark from the menu to the destination where you want the shortcut.

Does that help?

If you only have a few bookmarks you want on the flash drive, just put them in a folder and then move that folder to the flash drive:

Make a new folder on your desktop: Right click the desktop > New > Folder, and give it a name.

Then click on the padlock or the small image to next to it) to the left of the address on the address bar, and drag it to the folder. It will put a link to that page in the folder. You can drag dozens (hundreds) of links there. Then just drag that folder to your flash drive.

If you have more that a few, you may want to export all your bookmarks, which you can then import them on another system, as explained by others above. You can also go to Tools > Options > Sync and synchronize (make them all the same) all your bookmarks between any other computers you use running Firefox.

What I explained, how to save bookmarks to a folder and then copy that to your flash drive, has nothing to do with json files (JSON is JavaScript Object Notation). If you backup your bookmarks it will make a bookmarksdate.json file, as it is a native format for the browser.

I had you drag bookmarks to a folder to make it easy to copy several to the flash drive - but you can also just drag them to your desktop or any other folder.

They're just shortcuts to that web page - in other words, it's the address of the website. You can put it in a email, or a Word document - click on it and it will open your browser to that page (or site).

Just as a footnote: the JSON-format backup is great for setting up a new Firefox for yourself or recovering from data corruption because it is the most complete format. However, it is not the best format for sharing because restoring the JSON-format backup completely replaces whatever is on the receiving Firefox instead of adding to it.
