Make sure that the HTML backup has a .html file extension.

You can find the Import menu entry in the Bookmarks Manager (Library)

• Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Data from Another Browser

Thank you. The backup file does have an html suffix. But unfortunately when I open the bookmarks manager (library) under show all bookmarks there is no import menu. There are only three items: the bookmarks toolbar, bookmarks menu, and unsorted bookmarks and no other menu tens. If I click on the bookmarks toolbar as suggested in the procedure, there are only two options under that item. "Most Visited" and "Getting Started". There is no import & backup option at all. I am thinking about reinstalling Firefox from scratch to see if something did not get installed properly. Any thoughts?

In the Bookmarks Manager (Library) there is a toolbar with the Back and Forward button and three other buttons (Organize, Views, Import & Backup).

• The first (gear) button is the Organize button with basic edit menu items for bookmarks
• The second button is the Views button that allows to change the sort order for viewing purposes (doesn't sort permanently).
• The third (star) button is the Import & Backup button that allows to backup and restore a JSON backup and import and export an HTML backup and import bookmarks from other browsers.

Hover each button to see the tooltip or click each of them to see what they do.
