Replacing places.sqlite with older file is not working, please help I need my bookmarks

My hard drive was recently crashed so I had to reinstall windows 7 operating system. I recovered the deleted places.sqlite file from before the crash. I replaced the old file with new places.sqlite file but is not restoring any of the bookmarks
Please help, I have a lot of important bookmarks stored in old file
Please suggest a way to open the places.sqlite file manually & extract bookmarks from it or any other way to get the bookmarks back

It is possible that this copy of places.sqlite is corrupted if your bookmarks aren't restored and in that case you can't use this file and will have to delete all the places files (-shm and -wal as well)
If you also have a copy of the JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder then try to restore the bookmarks that way.
