How do I open a Firefox bookmarks file (.json) without using Firefox?

[bradleyheathhays]

Had a number of abrupt computer shutdowns due to power outage and now Firefox won't open no matter what I do. I'm trying to recover all my bookmarks before I reinstall Firefox. So, after identifying which file it is (I think) I'm trying to get a look inside so I can record everything.

Thanks! I'm all ears!

Look for bookmarks.html. Once found you can open it by clicking on it.

Firefox generally will keep the html file when you reinstall it, unless you intentionally delete the folder the file is in. Firefox doesn't overwrite that folder during a reinstall of Firefox.
