I would think that the method you described above should work, but you 
may have to move places.sqlite to another folder where Iceweasel can't 
see it. Upon starting, Iceweasel should rebuild places.sqlite (the 
Iceweasel 3.0 bookmarks file) using the data in bookmarks.html (the old 
Iceweasel 2.0 bookmarks file).

If that doesn't work, look here for more information:
