(broke somewhere in updates to FireFox V3.0.3)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Menu: Bookmarks > Organize...
2. Pointing to all bookmarks, choose menu: Import and Backup > Export HTML
3. use whatever as directory & file (I used D:\Temp\bookmarks.html)
Actual Results:  
Nothing!

Expected Results:  
Saved my bookmarks in a HTML file

Gene: I am not able to reproduce using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3. I will try to hunt down Win 2K and see if I can reproduce the issue. I assume from your comment that this worked for you in 3.0.2. Also, can you reproduce the issue in Safe Mode (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode)?

This works for me as well on Win 2K using  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3.

Whoops, sorry I didn't test it in 'Safe Mode' where it *does* work.

I will now check out my Add-ons which might be causing this problem.

Bookmark specific Extensions:
 Bookmark Here 3.0
 Bookmark Duplicate Detector 0.7.2

Will add comment here if I find out who is the culprit.
(Thanks for your time and trouble, so far!)

And the Winner (actually Loser) is:

MozFox addin. (It changes the Titlebar 'Mozilla Firefox' text to random strings.)

Disabling MozFox 1.0 fixed the problem of nothing happening with Export Bookmarks to HTML.

Based on Comment 4, closing this one out and updating summary.
