I backed up bookmarks from old computer to flash drive. I followed procedures exactly to restore to new computer. Screens behave as predicted, filenames accepted, but restore does NOT happen. The files are there on J:\ drive. Why won't "restore" load them???

Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup. You can check that 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>

You may need to add quotes ("bookmarks.xxx") around the name to rename the file to the correct file extension.
