Bookmark restore function did not work. Bookmarks did not change.
I lost a group of bookmarks under the heading called HANDY and I used restore function but it did not work. I tried several days of backups but none of them changed the bookmarks showing.

Note that current Firefox versions show the number of bookmarks in a JSON backup as part of the name: xxx in bookmarks-####-##-##_xxx.json, so you can see if there is a backup with more bookmarks (different number count).
Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
