Computer crashed. Tech emailed bookmarks from FireFox file to another computer that uses Chrome. How can I save these bookmarks from a file saved on the desktop to Chrome, or at least open the file to copy the addresses?

Which file did the tech mail?
If it is places.sqlite or a JSON backup then you will need Firefox to create an HTML backup if you want to have the bookmarks in another browser.
The bookmark file my tech emailed and I saved to my desktop is a json file. OK, it looks like I will have to download a copy of FireFox onto the computer with the bookmark json file on it's desktop, then copy it to FireFox, then make an HTML file, then copy that file to Chrome.
How do I figure out how to do all of this?

Restore JSON backup:
- Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Restore > Choose File
Export HTML backup:
- Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML
You can also use the portable Firefox version, that should work as well.
I downloaded a new copy of FireFox so that I could Import my JSON bookmark file from desktop to FireFox, then export it as an HTML file.
The instructions tell me to open the Library window, another refers to Bookmarks Manager and Import Export functions. However, I do not find any of these on FireFox. What am I missing? Where are they?

I found Import HTML and Export HTML, but nothing about Import/Export of JSON Bookmark file. How can I Import a JSON Bookmark file from desktop to FireFox Bookmarks?
A bookmarks.json file need to be restored, import/export is only for HTML files.
