You can use the Scratchpad (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) to inspect and edit files in JSON format quite easily. There is a "Pretty Print" button to add line breaks.

Backing up and restoring your Profile should have included your bookmarks. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles

That looks like a JSON bookmarks backup file, from 11-01-2012. Did you try restoring that file?

Never messed with JSON files other than viewing them on a few occasions out of curiosity. There are no line breaks which make them very difficult to read.

As far as working with that file in {like} NotePad goes:

A. use Find / Search for each indecent of a "uri" string, then "copy and paste" the uri into another text file, and then move on to the next "uri" string.

B. use a text program where a filter can be set for the "uri" field in the JSON file for a line break or to "scrape out" the "uri"s only for display or export to a list of uri's.

Or try using an online JSON editor like this, to try to display only the "uri" field. https://www.jsoneditoronline.org/
