The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: Core & HTML' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Thank you for the enhancement suggestion.
Setting as NEW so the developing team can have a look.

HTML is a legacy format, it's retained just because some third party apps still support it.
We're currently using json for modern development. Though we'd basically have to invent a format for partial data, that'd be unlikely supported by other browsers.
At that point it seems easier to just copy paste bookmarks across Firefox windows, or use Sync.
Also, one can copy a bookmarks folder, and then paste in a text editor, all url will be there. Then one can copy the list of urls and paste it in a browser bookmarks, I think most modern browsers support that. Let us know if you have problems with Firefox related to copy/pasting multiple links.
