There is about 10 backups listed. I backed up from the oldest copy but 
it contained my present bookmark list. I think what has happened is that 
my original bookmarks slid off the end of the bookmark directory or the 
directory got completely wiped. I've been using iceweasel for years and 
never knew that that backup capability was there. My bad. It looks like 
I'm out of luck.
