My hard drive was recently crashed so I had to reinstall windows 7 operating system. I recovered the deleted places.sqlite file from before the crash. I replaced the old file with new places.sqlite file but is not restoring any of the bookmarks Please help, I have a lot of important bookmarks stored in old file Please suggest a way to open the places.sqlite file manually & extract bookmarks from it or any other way to get the bookmarks back

HTML and JSON are two different formats. There are separate menu items for importing bookmarks from each format — make sure you pick the right one.

It is possible that this copy of places.sqlite is corrupted if your bookmarks aren't restored and in that case you can't use this file and will have to delete all the places files (-shm and -wal as well) If you also have a copy of the JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder then try to restore the bookmarks that way.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.

These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backup of files that you choose.
