Bookmarks are stored in the "bookmarks.dat" file. If there's a backup copy of this file, it'll be named "bookmarks.dat.recovery". You can open it in any text editor (e.g. Notepad) if you want to manually extract the URLs from it.

It might be difficult if not impossible to find deleted bookmarks if the file was overwritten, though. Did you delete them yourself, or did they just disappear?

I did something like that and looked at the backup file and found it only because I remember the name and how many folders it had to know it was the one. But I think something like a deleted history for HHD would be a welcome option as if you forget the name or is the only one manga. When bookmark is deleted it's gone unless the backup has it still or you remember the name of it.

Do you think the history feature (Downloads > History, or Ctrl+H) could be useful for this purpose? If you enable it, you can see a history of everything you've downloaded before. For any bookmark you've downloaded from previously, you would be able to find it there if necessary.

If there was also a deleted history bookmarks that would help as well. History doesn't tell you what you deleted just what you downloaded. And some bookmark don't update as much and if you delete the wrong bookmark well then it's gone and my bookmarks are both RAW and En version if one goes missing I wont know what was deleted.
