How do I import Bookmarks into Firefox from another hard disk that has Firefox installed on it but is no longer the primary disk?

I was running firefox on a desktop. The hard drive became unusable as the primary drive, either due to a software installation that left the operating system unstable or malware or both. The hard drive has been cleaned of malware, but was replaced by a new hard drive which has a new installation of firefox. Operating was and is Windows XP. The old hard drive which is now F:\ is still in the computer. There are many, many bookmarks on F;\ ...Firefox that I need to import the Firefox on C:\. I believe they are the .json files. Can I copy and paste, or import the bookmarks?

Yes, this worked. Actually I located the import tool and used that to import the .json file with the most recent date, before I saw this reply.

Thanks much for the reply and may God Bless your day.
