Importing a bookmarks file will only import bookmarks. Nothing else.

Note: Importing using jsonlz4 file will overwrite the current.

You will need to find a program that can open that file.

Here is a thought; Create a new profile. Then import the jsonlz4 file. After, export the bookmarks as an HTML file. The file will be easy to read using any text viewer or even Firefox itself.

Open the Bookmarks Manager; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the toolbar, and select Bookmarks. Hot key is <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> B.

Once the window is open, at the top of the page, press the button labeled Import and Backup. Select Export Bookmarks To HTML, and follow the prompts and save it to a HTML file. Copy the file to another computer. Repeat the instructions above, BUT select Import Bookmarks From HTML.
