okay, palemoon (browser) and XP

[pyotr filipivich]

I do not know if it is the OS, the Browser, the hard drive, the
batteries or the cats have been hacking the laptop again, but I can't
restore the bookmarks for Pale moon on the laptop. This is getting
to be a real pain.
I have tried to restore,- but there seems to be an issue reading
json or jsonlz4 files, end result - no bookmarks restored and the
bookmark file is now totally empty.
I tried to restore from html backups. Can't tell if anything is
happening - it doesn't even pop up a rotating hourglass.
I even got Clever - and added a new profile ("Bob"), copied a
completely different profile there, and instead of using profile
"Albert" pointed it to Bob.
Something flashed up on the screen the first time - and since then
"Why yes, we have no bookmarks today."

I'm asking here because it involves an XP laptop. But does anyone
know of a workaround to convert jsonlz4 files to either html or plain
old json formats?

Arrgh.

(And anyone who rants that I should not be using XP on a Laptop - send
me your banking details so I can replace it.)

The question was asked: "Is Hindsight overrated?"
In retrospect, it appears to be.

Not sure what was the magic trick, but after several attempts at
installing and reinstalling, and copying over from other versions, it
finally worked.

Thanks for all the help.
