The way I handle this is to go to about:config (as you thought) and change
browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML
to true. Then, whenever you close firefox through it's menu, it will automatically save your bookmarks as a clickable web page. Once you have made the change, and closed and re-opened ff, you can navigate to bookmarks.html by typing
file:///
in Firefox's address bar and navigate to the page. It will be something like
file:///home/user/.mozilla/firefox/3er452d.default/bookmarks.html
Then you can go into settings and set that page as your default home page, although that only makes it your default for new windows, not new tabs. So I've bookmarked my bookmark page. I can easily reach it through the address bar.
