After choosing the directory to save your export of the bookmarks, nothing
actually happens (ie no bookmarks file is created).

I must add that i am forced to write this. Don't blame me plz if this is a dupe
(although I have searched to no avail).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Manage Bookmarks
2. File -> Export -> choose a directory -> Save
3. Go to the directory and you won't see the file

Actual Results:  
No file.

Expected Results:  
It should have created a bookmarks file.

Confirming

->NEW

I can find a shortcut to the bookmarkstest.html (the name I had choosen) in
under  Windows ,  Start->documents , but there is no file at that location, nor
in the trashcan.
A search on my entinre HD did not find it either

Have an older nightly and cannot reproduce (I see the bookmarks.html file on my
Desktop once I export). Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7)
