That isn't the coding for a bookmarks.html file, that looks like a JSON backup file.

{Ctrl + Shft + B} to open Organize Bokkmarks - the Library window.
Under Import & Backup - HTML files are handled with Export and Import, while JSON files are handled with Backup and Restore.

Also make sure that the file has a .json file extension. You can verify that in the properties of that file (right-click context menu > Properties)
