I backed up my bookmarks to an external drive, rebuilt my system, and now when I try to restore from that file, I get "unsupported file type" How can I restore from this file?

What is the file extension of that "backup" file?
HTML needs to be imported, and JSON has to be restored.
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... or Restore
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 ("") around the name to rename the file to the correct file extension.

Yes, it is a json file and it is still unrecognized.
