Bookmark transfer - what can I expect?

Hello Opera users,
I just switched from an old XP-system to a W10 box. I saved all my (many) bookmarks by exporting them, both as a .adr file and as HTML, on an external disk. Now when I try to import them on the new system, it does not recognize the HTML file. Whai I can do with the .adr file I have no idea. But I can see the files in the Windows explorer, and can even open the HTML file in Opera. But all what I then see is a long list of my bookmarks. I expected that the bookmarks show up in Opera's bookmark list as they did before. Do I expect too much, or where is the problem?

Many thanks for your help,
Hans

@hans4999 adr files were used in Opera Presto (Opera 12 and older) and do not work in Opera Chromium (Opera 15 and newer).

The HTML file can be imported on other Browsers?

Another option would be, importing the whole Opera 12.xx profile - at least what can be imported - to Opera Blink using a switch.

Yes I can import the HTML file into Firefox. Unfortunately it is a long scrollable list, and sorting does not work.
No one has an idea why Opera doesn't see the HTML file?

@hans4999 What do you mean by 'don't see'? What happens when you try to import the html file?

@hans4999 interesting.

i imported my html bookmarks file without problems into Vivaldi. All bookmark folders i have in Opera were identical in Vivaldi.

You think you know, but you have no idea.
