[SOLVED] Can't import .json bookmarks file into Flatpak Firefox.

Hi.

I exported a bookmarks-2023-12-10.json file from my repo Firefox and wanted to restore my Flatpak FF bookmarks from that but it won't go though. I get a few windows like this [see attached image] opening. I've done this import in the past without issue.

Just copy it to the flatpak Firefox folder in .var

Hi. Copy it to where exactly in the Flatpak dir. I see the .var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla/firefox dir but don't know what file to overwrite.

I installed the Snap version of Firefox and tried to import that .json FF bookmarks file - the same issue. The file seems to be the problem.

I exported a new .json FF bookmarks file and it works in my Snap FF. It also works in Flatpak FF.
