Note that the places.sqlite file has fixed file sizes and is increased in 10 MB chunks.
Also make sure to remove any SQLite temp files places.sqlite-shm and places.sqlite-wal when present.

hello ffuser2013, are you importing the file into the current profile while firefox is closed?
Yes, I shut down firefox, copy the old places.sqlite file of 81,920 kb, bring up firefox. After firefox comes backup the places.sqlite size changes to 10,240 kb and then a places.sqlite.corrupt file of 1,151 kb appears in the folder.
