I saved my bookmarks as a backup file but when I try to load the file it does not show up as a JSON file and when I load it by showing all files it says "this type of file is not supported". What do I do?

If you have a valid .json file created by backup (not export), you can restore it (not import it). You have to do this from the Library List (Ctrl+Shift+B) menus.

Make sure you know difference between export/import and backup/restore

Well this is embarrassing. I had renamed the file when I made the backup which somehow also made it stop being a .json file, so Firefox couldn't read it. All I had to do was rename the file to end with .json and then it worked.

Sorry to have wasted your time.

Thank you for your resolution feedback, makes things much easier when things are simple fixes and others will be more cautious in renaming files because of your feedback.
