My bookmarks were in a folder Called Imported from Firefox In the bar at top in IGHOME, I now have a new cpu and cannot find them in any import, that I run
My real question is does Mozilla have a copy of my bookmarks? They existed in a folder called Imported from Firefox on my old CPU.

Best is to restore the JSON backup in the Bookmarks Manager.
- Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Restore
You can backup the current bookmarks to an HTML file and import this backup after you have restored the JSON backup as that will replace all current bookmarks. It is possible to decompress the JSON backup, but you would still have to restore this backup to get the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Manager.

No, "Mozilla" doesn't have your bookmarks. Bookmarks are "user data" and stored within Firefox in what is called a "Profile". Do you still have the old CPU so that you can recover your data? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles
http://www.ighome.com/ Are you able to login to igHome? http://www.ighome.com/login.aspx It appears that the Bookmarks menu item on that page saves registered user bookmarks in a Google Bookmarks account. Are you able to log into that Google Account?
I do have the old c drive in my new system but the pathway is broken to the Profile folder however if I do a search it does take me to a Profile folder that has json files in it not htm, strange but true.
I can login to IGHome and my Google account, where do I find the Google Bookmark account?
Current Firefox versions store bookmarks and history in places.sqlite. Firefox creates automatically JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder and keeps up to a maximum of 15 compressed .jsonlz4 in that folder.
I believe I have found the .jsonlz4 file from 9/15/15 not too bad, on my old drive. Thanks VERY much!
How do I import that file that file into my browser, can I decompress and put into HTML format?
