I just changed jobs. My last job used Firefox, my new job uses Explorer. I previously did a manual back up of my bookmarks from Firefox. Is there a way now to get them into Explorer?

For cross-browser compatibility, you should have exported your bookmarks in HTML format.
Create a new Profile in a Firefox installation and restore that json file, then export in HTML format. You can trash that new Profile when your'e done if you don't want it.

The problem is, when I backed up my Firefox bookmarks, it saved as a .json file. Any idea how to get that into an .html file?
