Since I started this thread, I added FEBE 10.2, as listed on the Pale Moon site. But I have not tried to backup bookmarks and history separately. Since you have already done the backup separately , let us know if the restore feature works correctly for both of them.

Maybe I was not clear enough. Suppose you want the history from computer #1 to go into computer #2, but want separate bookmarks. First backup bookmarks for #2 to the desktop or some other place that is handy. Place a copy of places.sqlite from computer #1's profile into #2's profile, then restore the saved bookmarks from #2. You would then have #1's history in #2, but still have separate bookmarks. No extra extensions would be needed.

Now I understand how you accomplish the task. Thanks for the clarification.
