Chosen solution

Hmm, neither the Safe Mode nor the Refresh options should remove your bookmarks.

The .jsonlz4 files are used by the Restore feature. Please see this article for more info: Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer.

Also, in case the problem is that a Refresh turned off the display of the Bookmarks Toolbar, you can use one of these methods to show the toolbar list and select the desired bars there:

To turn on the Bookmarks Toolbar, Menu Bar, or other bars, click it on the list.

Any improvement?
