You probably still have Agent Ransack installed.

It's pretty good at finding stuff the Windows one
might miss.

But I would question what you think you're searching for.

Each .jsonlz4 backup file, paints the whole thing.

    Bookmarks  \
    Folder1     \___ These are rendered by a single jsonlz4 file.
    Folder2     /
    Folder3    /

To protect *all* your current bookmarks, use the
Bookmark Manager and do an Export. Examine the lines
of HTML (in a text editor). You could count the bookmarks
that way.

To protect the current formatting, use the Backup button
in Bookmarks Manager. That converts the current state
of your bookmarks and folders, into a jsonlz4 file.

To try a previous set of bookmarks, use the Restore.
This could return your Folders.

Then, use the Export, to export the older bookmarks.
Rename this file to "bookmarks_old.html".

Now, compare bookmarks_old.html to bookmarks.html
and see how many bookmarks have gone missing.

The bookmarks are also stored in the sqlite files,
but we're not supposed to play with those.

That Bookmarks Manager, gives you all the tools
you need, to go backward or forward in time. by making
a backup now, that will add a new jsonlz4 file to the
collection. Then, when you go "backwards" with
a Restore, you can also go "forwards" again, by
using the backup you just made this instant.

Once you've had a nap, I think this will be a lot clearer.

Even if you choose not to open the Exported bookmarks.html
files with Notepad, just the *size* of each file, will give an
indication of the amount of *damage* done.
