Look I had save a copy of my bookmarks on my external hard drive. I had used the file before to restore my bookmarks in the past with no problem. Now it says its not an html doc file. Or when I had to hit the reset button all my old firefox data was saved to my computers desk top in a folder how can I use the bookmark file in that folder. I hope there is a way.

Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension:

  • .html for a HTML backup
  • .json for a JSON backup

You can check the type via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties.
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File"
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links.

A  JSON backup starts with: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":
An HTML backup starts with: <!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1>
