Hi there, welcome to the forum!

Yes unfortunately the favorites sync has been having troubles recently,

here is the safest way to import/export your favorites. using HTML file which is recognizable by all browsers.

Simply click on the (ellipsis) menu on the top right corner of the browser, go to favorites and then manage favorites

or press SHIFT+ CTRL + O (shortcut)

or just paste this into your browser URL:  edge://favorites/

and then at the bottom left corner you see these options:

That being said,

Here is the location of the bookmarks in Microsoft Edge insider browser:

in Edge insider browser:

• type in this into your address bar: edge://version/

• at the bottom, look for the "Profile Path"

• paste it into your File explorer

• For Edge insider Canary it's this location:   C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\User Data\Default
• For Edge insider Dev it's this location:         C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge Dev\User Data\Default
• For Edge insider Beta it's this location:           C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge Beta\User Data\Default

• Replace "USERNAME" with your own Windows username.

• in that folder, you will find a file called "Bookmarks", that's the file you're looking for.

• Bookmarks.bak is the backup file for the favorites that Edge browser automatically creates.

• you can open that Bookmark file with Notepad too.
