How can I merge bookmarks and saved passwords from two computers onto one computer?
Before I got rid of my old computer, I backed up my profile folder on a thumb drive. Then, I got a new computer and started customizing firefox, adding bookmarks and new saved passwords, without ever uploading my passwords and bookmarks from my old computer 's profile. How can I add the bookmarks from my old computer's profile folder onto my new computer's new firefox profile?

You will have to export the bookmarks to an HTML file and import those bookmarks after you have restored the bookmarks from the old computer.
For the passwords you can use the Password Exporter extension.
- Password Exporter: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/password-exporter/
At this point, I do not know how to save it in an HTML because I no longer have my computer with which I had the firefox profile set up. Now, I just have the profile folder, saved on a backup drive. How can I open the folder in order to save in an html?
That is about saving your current bookmarks to an HTML file because you would lose those when you restore a JSON backup from the backup.
- Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export Bookmarks to HTML
- Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML
