After having a crash, my hard drive data was saved in a backup file but I need help in finding and bringing the saved bookmark file(s) into the newly installed program.

Thank you for directing me to the data file but how do I "import" it into the presently used (new) version of Firefox or "Paste" them into the saved bookmark tab?

Much appreciated!
