Bookmarks stuck in JSON files

I recently had to wipe my computer and reinstall Windows 10. I backed up my bookmarks from Firefox on an external hard drive. I'm trying to import my bookmarks, but its a JSON file not HTML file. Is there anyway to fix them?

Hi catsamurai16, there's a different menu item for restoring a JSON-format backup -- the Restore item. Note that a Restore does a complete replacement of the current bookmarks with the contents of the JSON backup, so if you need to mix and match, we can provide more suggestions.

Ref. Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer

Does that work?
