Your problem is <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1678669>
which remove Places migration from versions older than Firefox 60.
From the accompanying commit
<https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/diff/b6c11ddc2e5bcfa08c9f4f7523cec29f93ca4220/toolkit/components/places/Database.cpp>,
we can see that the previous migration cut-off was schema v35/FF52 and
the commit advances it to schema v43/FF52.
The simplest solution is to use FF78ESR, at least until the next ESR
version replaces it. As you have chosen to be a "permanent beta"
tester, that probably isn't a good answer and won't be in the long
term anyway.
How about this? Have a scrap installation of FF78ESR (or later, as
many Firefoxes as you need to bridge from SM 2.x to a bleeding edge
FF). Close SM, copy places.sqlite to a profile in FF78ESR, run that FF
with that profile, close it, copy the new places.sqlite to FF85 (or
later, to a subsequent ESR and repeat until you have a compatible
version).
Alternatively (for a higher degree of difficulty), reviewing the SQL
that was removed in the commit (in Database::MigrateV36Up() through to
Database::MigrateV43Up()) could enable one to create a SQLite database
script that upgrades the schema used in places.sqlite from v35 to a
compatible version.

Why not just either export the bookmarks as html or back them up as
sqlite from SeaMonkey and either import them or restore them into
Firefox? That would not help with the history, but the bookmarks will
be preserved.
I believe places.sqlite contains more than just the bookmarks - afaik
the browsing history also lands there.
