The intermediary step size was 759,359, -3.6%. Your reply arrived when I was almost done doing it partially via script, partially via text editor, starting with: sed 's/ ICON_URI=/\n ICON_URI=/g' $1 >> $2 That put each data item along with a relatively short appending string on a new line, enabling me to quickly goto each such line, use END then cursor left to >, hit enter, Ctrl-Y, then BS to rejoin the useful pieces of the DT item. I don't know how long I spent, but I proceeded to finish before trying your method to see what the difference might come out to. Mine was 526,235, 33.2% reduction, but I took the liberty of deleting at least one duplicate DT in that process. Deleting bookmarks then importing remains todo. I have multiple other profiles, more than one of which need them imported too. I did already import into one FF ESR 45 profile without doing any deletes first, via user_pref("browser.places.importBookmarksHTML", true); in user.js. As both FF & SM have done in the past, Recently Bookmarked and Recent Tags folders got duplicated. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
