Opening Adobe problem

I have tried to save my Firefox Bookmarks to my desktop but found the following problem

After getting to backup the only choice in "Save as Type Box" is Fson (see link below)

When I try to open it in my Desktop I get the following

When I use Adobe other times the default setting for "Save As Type" box is Adobe PDF Files these open ok

So anyone know why am getting Fson in the "Save As Type" box instead of the default Adobe PDF Files

Thanks

The .json files shouldn't by opening in Acrobat at all! You don't want to do that do you?

I thought your were trying to save your bookmarks.

Why would you be trying to save your bookmarks as a PDF? The JSON file type is what Firefox saves your bookmarks in – you would need to load them up in Firefox, not Adobe Reader.

It’s not – it’s for Firefox to open when you want to Import your bookmarks.

Just looks like your computer has decided to make the JSON associated with Adobe reader but it won’t as you have seen be able to open them

Looks as though my imaginary problem has gone away

Thanks for the help
