FF fails to import bookmarks from MS Edge

To eliminate multiple problems (including disappearance of bookmarks) in desperation I uninstalled and cleared out all remnants of FF, then installed a new FF. Fortunately I had recently imported all the stuff FF more recently lost into MS Edge so I used the FF feature to import from MS Edge. However, every effort to import my bookmarks failed. So I used MS Edge's ability to create a HTML file of my bookmarks and then in FF used the "import a HTML file" feature to get them into FF. However, FF fails to recognize my bookmarks as bookmarks. It lists them in a "Favorites Bar" which cannot be strewn horizontally across the top of my screen as did my bookmarks in the past nor be viewed as bookmarks.

So HOW can I get FF to change the "Favorites" into Bookmarks?

In the tiny image I've uploaded, IF it can be read, the Bookmarks selections are "empty"

I think you are good at doing this already.

Have you tried to import your html file to a special bookmark folder - like imported from EG? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/import-bookmarks-and-other-data-microsoft-edge

PLEASE don't make me work more. I've spent 2 full days just trying to get FF working again. You asked a question that I obviously had not done. I looked at your link and reverted again to my gin bottle as I've emptied my bourbon bottle. I'm at my end of ......

Sorry for that.
