Bookmark Problem

I reorganized my bookmarks that accumulated haphazardly over many years -- it mainly had to do with getting new computers and reinstalling browsers that automatically imported by bookmarks.

Anyway, I want to make a fresh start so that involved several days work, and I got it done on Edge then imported them successfully into Chrome, Opera, and Duckduckgo.

However, I have run into problems with Firefox.

First, I had more problems deleting the bookmarks, which I thought I'd do, but finally found a tutorial that helped me do that. But couldn't import the bookmarks. So, I thought I'd reinstall. Did that twice but both times it automatically populated the old bookmarks. Then I watched a tutorial that showed me how to change settings so I could view hidden files. This time I was able to import the bookmarks but they aren't showing up. Where are they because I received a message that they were imported.
