Yes Sam. I tried to restore, and I tried to convert to html.
In both cases, for all the files in bookmarksbackup dir, I

I'm confused about how you're trying to do the convert to html.  You should open Firefox using the old profile.  Go to the bookmarks window and use the "export to html" option.  Then in the new profile, you go to the bookmarks window and use the "import from html" option.


Sam - That's EXACTLY what I did!!!


I am just not sure how in tarnation all of them could get corrupted????
I even tried to decompress with  "lz4 -d" command,
but the command said:
Error 44 : Unrecognized header : file cannot be decoded

They started using this before there was a standard lz4 header.  See https://github.com/avih/dejsonlz4 for a way to uncompress them.

​OK! Will do. Will get back to you.
