Could you check the following articles regarding an HTML-format bookmarks file:

Since HTML files are readable, you could open them and see whether they actually contain what you want to transfer. Note that the import may dump all the bookmarks in an "Imported Bookmarks" folder at the end of the Bookmarks Menu or Other Bookmarks instead of restoring their original locations.

You also could try a "Backup" file in the JSON format. It's not very human-readable, but it should have all your bookmarks. The manual backup section of the following article would be for your Firefox with the bookmarks, and the Restore section would be for your Firefox that needs them.

Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer

Note: on the receiving end, you'll need to use Choose File and point Firefox to the .json file, so please save it out of your email to a convenient location.
