Recover bookmarks from places.sqlite file

I have a problem exporting my thousands of bookmarks in Firefox into a HTML file using the standard export function in Firefox. I get this error:

*************************
A coding exception was thrown and uncaught in a Task.

Is there a way to export my bookmarks on the console, so I can import them into a new fresh firefox profile?
