Can't import bookmarks from MozBackup

I had an ongoing problem with Firefox on my PC - it worked correctly on my laptop. So I backed up my bookmarks using MozBackup and re-installed Firefox. This didn't have the Bookmarks bar so I enabled that. When I now try to restore the bookmarks using MozBackup it reports everything ok. But when I open Firefox the bookmarks are not there. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi

Since you have a laptop where Firefox is already working perfectly, i suggest to use Firefox Sync.

Mozilla's Sync feature provides a secure method for users to synchronize their data across Mozilla applications using a Mozilla account. Currently exclusive to Firefox, Sync ensures your data is effortlessly shared and up-to-date.
