How many bookmarks do you have and are you possibly using Sync to sync bookmarks to a mobile device?
If you do not get the Other Bookmarks folder and its content and you also can't find them elsewhere if you use a search for a known bookmark then there might have been a problem with places.sqlite.
That might also explain why the html backup isn't working.
You can check this by opening the HTML backup in a Firefox tab.
In an HTML backup the Other Bookmarks folder is a sub folder of the Bookmarks Menu folder.
The name of an automatically created JSON bookmarks backup in the bookmarkbackups folder includes a total item count (folders and separators included) and an hash value to prevent saving the same backup more than once, so you can check the list for a sudden drop in the count.
You also see this count in the Restore menu drop-down list.
- bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD_<item count>_<hash>.jsonlz4.
Sorry to hear about this problem. Why were you backing up and restoring? Was there already a problem with bookmarks?
