[Bug 2018010] [NEW] Cannot backup bookmarks

[Kevin O'Gorman]

Public bug reported:

I cannot backup my bookmarks (on two different computers).  Going to menu
  overflow -> bookmarks -> manage bookmarks
gets me to what I would expect but neither of the two backup options work (JSON and HTML).  In both cases, when I click save, the dialog disappears immediately, but no file appears in the destination folder (Documents).
