Will importing a firefox bookmarks file from another computer add to or overwrite the firefox bookmarks on the receiving computer?
I know this has been asked before but the similar questions I was shown before were over a year old and the users were still on v3.n and since we're now on v16.n I figured I should probably ask just in case anything has changed. It seems like if I use an HTML bookmark file then it should add to instead of overwriting the bookmarks on the receiving computer. Is that still the case? Thanks.

Importing bookmarks from an HTML file will merge the bookmarks from the HTML file into your existing bookmarks; you lose nothing, but it may result in duplicate bookmarks if the same bookmark is already in your bookmarks and is also in the HTML file.
Restoring bookmarks from a JSON file will over-write your existing bookmarks.
