It is possible to have to sets of Bookmarks saved as back ups that you can import via Bookmarks --> Organise Bookmarks

Or do you mean something else?

Then I think it would be better to set up a new Firefox (Fx) profile for them (i.e. a separate, second profile); otherwise everything else is also shared, history etc. Gets complicated.
Creating a profile (Mozilla Support)
When you have multiple profiles, Fx will ask which profile to use each time you start Fx.

Even better, why not another user account in Windows on the PC?

Why not just set up a different Windows user account for each and then they have their own list, in what ever browser that THEY want to use.
