Need to save bookmarks

I am using Firefox and it cannot seem to remember cookies to certain websites, including this one, so I must manually enter in my user name and password each time. Yes, I have the settings correct. Tools/Options/Accept Cookies from Sites

The only thing I can think of doing to fix the problem is to reinstall Firefox. But in doing that I will wipe out all my bookmarks.

How do I save and then reinstall my bookmarks in Firefox?

Thanks

Edit: I went to Firefox/Bookmarks/Organize Bookmarks/File/Export and clicked on it. A dialogue box is supposed to appear. No dialogue box appears.

I then tried clicking and dragging the folder for all the bookmarks over to a file I created for storing my bookmarks. I get a message that says. " Not enough storage is available to complete this operation". So a one terrabyte drive is not enough storage?

Maybe I should get a Macintosh?...I get so tired of this crap not working. Why must it be so hard to do the simplest things?

Do you have any spyware/malware checking software? Most all of them have a zap the cookies option.

Have you tried restarting to see if you could save the bookmarks again?

Firefox stores ALL the bookmarks in a single bookmarks.html file. You have a problem deeper than just Firefox if you are getting those errors.
