Downloaded Bookmarks to another hard drive that does not have a operations systems. Hard drive with Windows 10 got corrupted which had many other software applications and Firefox and had to re-install Windows 10 operation system. Tried to find out how to import my bookmarks from a non-operations system hard drive into present systems Firefox bookmarks. Cannot find out how to do this.

What format is the bookmarks file that you "downloaded"?
HTML file? a JSON bookmarksbackup file? or, the places.sqlite file?
Depending upon which format those saved bookmarks are in will determine how to get them "restored".
