<p>Hi, the next step is to use Restore. Do the copied in backup files appear on the Restore menu? See: <a href="/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them" rel="nofollow">Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer</a>.

</p><p>We haven't hit paydirt yet. Here's what I did, but first let me set the scene: <strong>88z8lpll</strong> is the old default profile that was rendered useless by the Quantum upgrade, <strong>rzmeki5b.default-release</strong> is the original new profile, <strong>u34mic1n.default</strong> is the profile of the re-opened Quantum. I copied the '<em><strong>bookmarkbackups'</strong></em> folder of 88z to u34. But there's no change; u34 seems to have rejected 88z. So u34 is sitting there with 88z's <em>backupbookmarks</em> folder in it, but I still don't have my old bookmarks in Quantum.

</p>Hi Bayard, it's not possible to tell from looking at places.sqlite, or its file size or modification2019-09-18T03:16:33-07:00jscher2000https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/1269084#answer-1253041<p>Hi Bayard, it's not possible to tell from looking at places.sqlite, or its file size or modification date, what it really contains. Each profile might have different history/bookmarks in its file.
</p><p>Since you already know how to find your profile folders (under Roaming), could you check each of their <strong>bookmarkbackups</strong> folders? The files in the folder have the creation date and number of items coded into the file name -- for example, 755 bookmarks and folders backed up yesterday:
</p><p>bookmarks-2019-09-17_755_<em>gibberish</em>==.jsonlz4
</p><p>-- which may be useful for determining which is your "real" profile and/or using the best backups to restore bookmarks to other profiles.
</p><p>Your options could be:
</p><p>(A) Switch profiles
(B) Restore a bookmark backup to a different profile
</p><p><em><strong>Profile Switch</strong></em>
</p><p>Inside Firefox, type or paste <strong>about:profiles</strong> in the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it.
</p><p>This page should list at least one profile and could list many. (Each profile has two folders and one or more buttons. Do not use any Remove buttons!)
</p><p>The profile that Firefox is currently using will have this:
</p><p><strong>This is the profile in use and it cannot be deleted.</strong>
</p><p>To test out another profile, you can click its <strong>Launch profile in new browser</strong> button.
</p><p>If it isn't what you want, simply close that new window.
</p><p>If it IS what you want, back on the about:profiles page, click the <strong>Set as default profile</strong> button for that profile so Firefox uses it automatically at the next startup.
</p><p><em><strong>Restoring a Bookmark Backup</strong></em>
</p><p>This feature will completely replace your current bookmarks with the contents of the backup file, so please use with caution.
</p><p>When you are restoring a backup from a different profile, it's more convenient to either (i) copy/paste the backup file into the target profile so it comes up on the menu, or (ii) copy/paste the backup file to the Desktop or Documents so you can access it more easily when using Choose File... to point Firefox to it.
</p><p>And here's the article to put that all in context: <a href="/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them" rel="nofollow">Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer</a>.
</p><p>Any luck?
