    Firefox 4... How do I restore bookmarks??

    Apparently there is no way to import bookmarks into FF4 from the .Json file that FF3 made? Do I need to install FF3 just to get them copied over?

    I wasn't expecting this to happen... Maybe I need to use the Sync option?

    go to my computer, put %appdata% in the address bar, then navigate to Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[random letters].default\bookmarkbackups

    put the backed up .json in there and you should be good to go..
    if there are some other .json's in there already, delete them (or move them somewhere else just in case)

    i usually export my firefox bookmarks in HTML form from within firefox. much easier to work with.

      Figured it out... The Ctrl+Shift+B shortcut still works, despite the lack of an "organize bookmarks" menu item... Weird!
