Library, Import and Backup, Restore saves 15 backups of the Bookmark listing. I have a large collection of Bookmarks (12MB). I can make a backup to disk. I don't need 15 backups stored in the browser. Can this feature be turned off or at least reduced to one?

You can set the number of JSON backups via this pref on the about:config page.
