I recently had to do some maintenance requiring me to uninstall firefox. Before doing so, I backed up my bookmarks using the method on the site. I created my .json file and then later installed firefox back. When I try to restore from that file, nothing happens. I have the same default firefox bookmarks.

Make sure that the file has a .json file extension. You can verify that via the Properties of the file (right-click context menu).

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
