importing bookmarks
I created a *.json file on my old computer that has old Firefox version. Would like to import these to a new version on a new computer. How?

jscher2000 has a tool on his website to extract out your bookmarks and save them to an HTML-format bookmark export file. If you want to try it, here is the page:

To open the bookmarkbackups folder in Finder, use the "Open in Finder" button in the first table on the Troubleshooting Information page, and double-click into bookmarkbackups where you should see several dated files. From there you can drag and drop onto the conversion tool.
To import the HTML file, see the steps in this article: Import Bookmarks from an HTML file.

Note that you can easily restore a JSON backup in the Bookmarks Manager (Library), but this will replace all current bookmarks. The above mentioned tool allows to extract the bookmarks to an HTML file and if you import a bookmarks HTML file then bookmarks are merged.
