Re: Is it safe to use Firefox v61's places.sqlite in old SeaMonkey v2.49.4 web browser?
Not possible. Format changed too much after 55. It will be flagged as corrupt. In theory the last good backup will then be imported and the db initialized. Might still be possible with 2.53 but there were some changes afterwards too. Ant wrote: Or are they incompatible?

I'm using SeaMonkey 2.49.1 {downloaded from the SeaMonkey site} on
Debian Stretch. The exported HTML file looks fine when displayed by
SeaMonkey.
It just does not preserve adequate nesting information for my purposes.
and, as presented, I'm unable to edit it either! ;-(

Caution: I use SeaMonkey/2.49.1 on Debian, but have never used Firefox. If Firefox has a save bookmarks as HTML option there is hope. You may be be able to use SeaMonkey's HTML import option. I don't know if it will cleanly preserve folder hierarchy. BUT it apparently ADDS to your existing bookmarks. So start with a new default profile from which you've deleted undesired entries. If that doesn't work backup your current bookmarks. From what I've been reading it will be either compressed or uncompressed JSON. I have a project aimed at easily reorganizing bookmarks and removing undesired bookmarks. It's input is uncompressed JSON. Frank-Rainer's comments may still apply.
