I did this look at the file before transferring it and the resulting file had no resemblance what so ever to my current bookmarks. It had bookmarks from years ago and did not have my current bookmark tool bar inventory.

Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.

1. Use one of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
   • Firefox 29 and above: Click the Bookmarks button and select Show All Bookmarks.
   • Previous Firefox versions: Click the Firefox button and click on Bookmarks. (If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Bookmarks button or Bookmarks menu item and select Show All Bookmarks.)
2. At the top of the Library window, click on Import and Backup and select Restore.
3. Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
4. In the new window that appears, click OK.
5. Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.

For more information, see the Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer article. For other solutions, see the Recover lost or missing Bookmarks article.

That is very interesting if I wanted to "Restore" my bookmarks. I want to save my bookmarks to move them to a new computer.

You can copy all of your data from Firefox if you want. This includes bookmarks, extensions and more. Simply copy your profile folder to the new computer.
