did backup for my bookmarks as Firefox suggested but can't open it to see if the bookmarks are there??? Thank you.
Cannot open .json Bookmarks back up file to check that the procedure worked. How can I open the file?

While you can view it in a text editor, or drag and drop it on an open Firefox tab, a JSON format file consists of very densely packed text that will definitely cause eyestrain. I'm not sure there is a convenient way to see what it will turn back into when restored.
Is that a manually created .json backup or an automatically created compressed .jsonlz4?
You can open a .json file in the Scratchpad (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer). Click the "Pretty Print" button to format the file for readability.
