Import bookmarks from html not working (YES, I know it really IS an html file and not JSON)
My objective is to make a global edit to the bookmarks in one folder. To do so, I exported to an HTML file, opened that file in Notepad, deleted all the other bookmarks, and did a search-and-replace to correct the ones I was trying to fix. Saved the file and attempted to import into Firefox. I *can* open the file and see the links, and I can use Import and Backup to get to the file and select it for import. However, after that, NOTHING happens.

Did you at least leave the global folder structure in the file?
<!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1>
<!-- This is an automatically generated file.
It will be read and overwritten.
DO NOT EDIT! -->
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<TITLE>Bookmarks</TITLE>
<H1>Bookmarks Menu</H1>
<DL><p>
(bookmarks)
</DL><p>
Where did you look for those bookmarks?
Did you do a search?

Did you do a search?
Yes, did leave the structure. Looked everywhere and did do a search. Definitely not there.
Can you post part of that file to see how it looks?
The file does have a .html file extension?
Does the file work if you open it in a Firefox tab?
Yes, does have .html extension and does work if opened in a tab. However, I just discovered that there was a missing > which proved to be the issue. Once that was corrected, the import worked as it should.
Thanks! Your questions made me look again more closely -- I had overlooked that error MANY times earlier. :)
