What is the best way to import the bookmarks file from one profile
into another?
If you open the bookmarks window on the first profile, you can export
to HTML. Then you can do import from HTML on the other profile.
Hi Sam,
It seems that all the backup bookmarks are either in some sort of
compressed or encrypted format.
Mozilla uses a custom LZ4 compression on those file.
When I use the shell "file" command on the backup files,
it says they are "data".
Here is a list of hte backup files:
bookmarks-2017-08-06_24_OZipyb+ChF8R9Bh+1qM4JQ==.jsonlz4
Am I supposed to first pass them through some other utility to convert
them to plain html?
You're using the wrong option. You would have to use the "Restore"
option and that would wipe out all your existing bookmarks first. In
the bookmarks window (try CTRL-SHIFT-o), there's an option under the
"Import and Backup" menu to "Export Bookmarks as HTML". Use that.
You'll also see there the corresponding "Import Bookmarks from HTML".
