Chosen solution

No, unless you see this history in the History Manager or have a backup of the places.sqlite file that you could use in a separate profile to prevent bookmarks dataloss.

You can try to check for previous versions of the places.sqlite file.

If you need to use an older copy of places.sqlite then create a new profile to check out this older file. See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
