Bookmark backup saved as type 'File' not JSON. How can I get my favorites?

Recently, I did a reinstall of Firefox. Before uninstalling, I made a backup of my favorites. I don't remember asking for file type, when I made the backup... I guess Firefox would use correct. When I tried to restore the backup after you install the latest version of Firefox, I got the message "Unsupported file type". I looked at my file extension. There is no extension, and it just says: 'File' file type. It is certainly not JSON. Now, I am at a loss as to what to do and how to get back my bookmarks. I must have 50 +. Help, please!

First of all, if Windows HIDES extensions file on your part, you can change this setting. In Windows Explorer, you can access the option using one of these:

Organize the menu drop down > folder options and research > view tab or

(Alt + t) tools > Folder Options > view tab

Disable "Hide extensions of known file types".

If you return to your file, you should be able to change the .json extension, and then try again. Not sure if it is critical, but by default, Firefox seems to create an extension to lower case (json not JSON).
