Thanks, Simon -- I think that can work if one uses
strings places.sqlite | grep http | less
(Still a mass of stuff that one doen's really want to see, but the essentials are there).
Best wishes, Ted.

Hi Ted,
This feels like it's changed a lot since I last looked but on Firefox 51, my bookmarks appear to be in a file called places.sqlite in a folder ~/.mozilla/firefox/RANDOMSTRING.default/. There are also some bookmark backup files in the subdirectory bookmarkbackups.
Hope that helps, Simon
