I lost my bookmarks due to a cleaning software. When I tried to import the last backup (JSON file), I get the message: Unable to process the backup file.
After a cleaning software did its job, all my bookmarks disappeared. I checked my Profile folder, I found places.sqlite not corrupted, I found a JSON file created after cleaning job, and I tried to use Import Backup, Restore from file. I pointed to the last JSON file, but I got the message Unable to process the backup file.
I use version 61.0.1 Quantum.
