iceweasel bookmarks gone

[Gary Roach <gary719_list1@verizon.net>]

Hi All,

Somewhere along the line all of my iceweasel bookmarks disappeared. The 
backup copy is still in the system but doesn't appear to contain any of 
my old bookmarks. Would the old bookarks be stored someplace other than 
.mozilla/firefox/hxwu63mv.default/bookmarkbackups#? Or am I just out of 
luck.

Debian Wheezy
KDE Desktop
i5-750 Intel processor
Linux AMD64 OS
Iceweasel 24.4.0
