Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 254292

This is a feature request.
While you can move (or save) a bookmarks.html file in its entirety (i.e. all), or save 1 bookmark (usually via drop-n-drag to the desktop), it is not possible to save as sub-set of bookmarks to the desktop (OS, file system, whatever you want to call outside of Firefox).

This means I have no easy way to move a bookmark group from one computer to another or send a bookmark group to a friend.  

So what is needed is an export/import feature for bookmark groups.
I assume you would either save the group as an XML file, an HTML file that is a mini version of bookmarks.html, or a folder of saved bookmarks (in Windows *.url).  These are just three ways I can think of saving the bookmark group.  

While drag-n-drop from the Bookmark Manager or menu would be nice, a right-clock menu option would also work.


Thanks
