You can grab json file OK, but how you import it?
You can restore from json file but this will overwrite your current bookmarks.


I think it might take: Restore to "old" json>export to "old" html>restore to current json>import "old" html
unless you know better way...

Export the current bookmarks as HTML, import retrieved json file (overwriting current bookmarks), import current bookmarks as HTML. Weed out the duplicates.

Open bookmarks (Ctrl+Shift+B) and select Import and Backup > Restore > Choose File...
