They are also no longer in Bookmarks.html. The places.sqlite file has bookmarks, history, and just about every other piece of junk firefox is remembering now.

I want to move places.sqlite to a new install, do I just copy and paste the old places.sqlite into the new .mozilla/firefox.default directory ??

Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks -> Import and Backup
There you can have your bookmarks.html if you want to.

That has been working for me. I'm never sure when the format is likely to change and it won't work, but I assume I'll notice when it no longer works.

What has worked best for me is to show all bookmarks from the menu bar, then backup the json file to a location. Login to the new system and restore this json file to the new system.
You can also do the same thing by exporting the bookmarks to an html file and then importing the html file to the new system (but there is likely a loss of the other non-bookmark stuff that was saved in the original system).
