Your bookmarks.html file can be kept whereever you please. In doze it
need not be located in the profile directory, so you can move it
somewhere easier to type and backup.

Put this in user.js file in your profile directory (adjust your FAT32
path as necessary):

user_pref("browser.bookmarks.file", "/mnt/C/Mozilla/Profiles/bookmarks.html");

It can also be set using about:config.

You'll need to ensure the permissions on the FAT32 mount allow writing
by your FF user.
