Restoring a JSON backup will replace all your current bookmarks (you get a warning about that), so if you already have bookmarks that you wish to keep then export them to an HTML file before restoring the JSON backup.
You can import that HTML file after you have restored the JSON backup to get back your current bookmarks (you need to remove duplicates).
You can't import a JSON backup to add (merge) bookmarks.

Nice one. Thanks.
You're welcome
In addition to cor-el's solution here is another one.
1. Go to Show All Bookmarks :::Ctrl+Shift+B 2.Double click on Bookmarks Menu 3. Click on any bookmark and then select all :::Ctrl+A 4. Copy them:::Ctrl+C 5. Now restore what you want to by choosing your .jason file 6.Again go to Bookmarks menu and simply
paste the earlier copied bookmarks ::: Ctrl+V
Hope this helps.
I actually posted that solution to use Copy/Paste before on this forum.
