How can I import bookmarks saved in format .json? Saved by Firefox in that format before computer restore.

I have reinstalled F-ox after complete system restore. When I try to import bookmarks the only choice is from IE 6 which was installed by default at restore.

You need to restore json backups through Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import&Backup > Restore - from file

Make sure that the JSON backup file has a .json file extension.
