Do Pale Moon and Basilisk have the same amount of bookmarks, structured in the same way?

How many bookmarks do you have?
32 or 64-bit browser?
Might the exported file size be > say 4 GB?

I do not see any difference when exporting the same data from Pale Moon 28.2.2 and Basilisk 2018.11.07. What versions are you using?

At first I deleted a lot of bookmarks in the PaleMoon, and then exported. Maybe it affected?

It is difficult to guess. You need to provide exact steps to reproduce your issue (unless of course it still exists).

I decided to clean my PaleMoon bookmarks. I deleted a lot and made backup & export to html. I noticed that the json file has decreased but html, on the contrary, has increased. Then I did a restore from json in the Basilisk and export to html - got an adequate result. Sorry for annoyance, If this only worries me - I will use both browsers.
