I copied the places.sqlite folder from a crashed drive (FF 3.6.15, Windows XP) to the new computer (FF 4.01 Windows 7) per instructions, to appdata/roaming/moz/fire/profiles etc. There are also JSON/bookmark backup files on the old drive's directory, they don't display when I try the import html command. All files have data. How do I get the bookmarks to load on the new computer? Just copying the places.sqlite file didn't work.
