    To get the things working you have to search for Bookmark. Just make a search and you will get the Bookmark Folder. Now copy and past the folder where you wanted to make the back up of the data. This is the simplest way to get the back up of the Bookmark of your Firefox and Safari. Try this out and see whether it is working for you or not.

    As per my knowledge you can get the same on the "~/Library/Application Support". The bookmark of all the browser is residing here only. So if you can then check out the ~/Library/Application Support and see whether you are getting it work or not. So go through the same and take the back up of your bookmarks.

    If you wanted to take the back up of the Safari browser bookmark then just het into the Spotlight and search for the Bookmark folder under the "Users/name/Library/Caches/Metadata". You will find the bookmark folder under Users/name/Library/Caches/Metadata. Just take the back up on any other media and enjoy.
