firefox bookmarks corrupt !!!

[ax3]

hi, i have freshly installed win 7 ... was using ff 34 on old os ... have upgraded to ff 38.0.1 ... bt the problem is, its not importing my .json file for bookmarks ... it say "unable to process, file might be corrupt" ... bt if i open it in notepad its there ... how do i get old bookmarks ??? thanx

I have not used ff, however just suggesting that look for the default bookmarks file somewhere under user-->app data/ local setting etc--> ff data (name may not be exact) This could be hidden folder and delete the files that hold bookmarks and retry import

how can i add links from text file to existing bookmarks ???

"Using a new profile, to prevent
problems with your normal profile, load one of the bad files. Then
<Shift><Control> B to open the bookmarks main window. At the top of the
page, select Import And Backup. Then press
Export Bookmarks to HTML.
Then after, clear the system and do the same with the other bad file(s). The
reason is you should be able to combine the HTML files later,"

The json file will be incomplete if corrupt...which u can test using online Json validator JSONLint - The JSON Validator.
