Restore bookmarks from another computer and retain the existing bookmarks on the computer to receive the imported bookmarks. This would require importing into a folder that identifies where the imported bookmarks came from.

I'm trying to import bookmarks from a laptop to a desktop. The issue is that I can select the JSON file that has the laptop bookmarks, but they will replace all the bookmarks in the desktop. I was hoping that there would be a way to import the bookmarks into a folder called Dell Laptop Bookmarks, but there doesn't seem to be any way to do so. I still have the desktop bookmarks as the most recent backup on the desktop's drive, but they would only replace the imported bookmarks from the laptop.

If there is an Add-on that will do this, could someone please identify

You can export the bookmarks from the old system to an HTML file, then import the HTML file. When using HTML it adds the bookmarks to those that already exist.

For more details see exporting bookmarks to an HTML file and importing Bookmarks from an HTML File.
