Import the bookmarks.html of attachment 8749344 [details] works with Boockmarks -> Import and Backup -> Import Bookmarks from HTML.

Why naming "Boockmarks.Json"?

Right, this is a misnamed bookmarks.html file, it cannot be imported as a json.

My backup files are named ¨.jsonlz4¨. Trying to retore one of theese is not possible.
Trying to restore one of the last automatically bookmarks (last one is from April 25th) is not possible.
Norwegian message: "Klarte ikke behandle sikkerhetskopien" I guess English is something like this: "Could not handle the backup file"
Trying to bookmark a page to day is not possible.
:-(
