When I export Firefox bookmarks to an html file using instructions from the site nothing happens. This problem arrives after Firefox updating to 58.0.2 version. This problem is accompanied by appearance of old bookmarks, disappearance of new bookmarks (that were deleted before) and impossibility to delete old bookmarks. I deleted Firefox and set up it then, I replaced 32-bit version by 64-bit version, but it didn't help.

How can I correct it?

Hi, hold down the Shift key when you start Firefox to start in Safe Mode. More - Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.

If it works in Safe Mode, disable any theme or add-ons you have - Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A) > Themes/Extensions and restart Firefox; then if it's OK, re-enable them one by one until you find the culprit(s). You may need to restart Firefox after enabling some add-ons.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!

After I deleted new version and set up old version (57.0) I could delete bookmarks but couldn't export them to an html file. And of course bookmarks that disapearred after updating to 58.0.2 version don't appear.
