I want to access my backuped bookmarks from an old computer on my new computer without overwriting my current bookmarks.
I want to move my firefox backed up bookmarks file (json) from my old Windows XP computer to my new Windows 10 computer and access them without having to restore them, which would overwrite my current bookmarks. Is there an app that can open and display the json file in the same format as in the bookmarks or some other legible format? Thanks.

jscher2000 has a tool on his website to extract out your bookmarks and save them to an HTML-format bookmark export file. If you want to try it, here is the page:

To open the bookmarkbackups folder in Finder, use the "Open in Finder" button in the first table on the Troubleshooting Information page, and double-click into bookmarkbackups where you should see several dated files. From there you can drag and drop onto the conversion tool.
To import the HTML file, see the steps in this article: Import Bookmarks from an HTML file.
