jscher2000 has a tool on his website to extract out your bookmarks and save them to an HTML-format bookmark export file. If you want to try it, here is the page:

To open the bookmarkbackups folder in Finder, use the "Open in Finder" button in the first table on the Troubleshooting Information page, and double-click into bookmarkbackups where you should see several dated files. From there you can drag and drop onto the conversion tool.
To import the HTML file, see the steps in this article: Import Bookmarks from an HTML file.

thank you FredMcD. the tool worked but not at first. my bookmarks were only restored after i turned my laptop off and restarted firefox after turning my laptop on again.
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
Note that issue this can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database.
