Reading bookmark and favicon files from other installation

My old laptop died and I have been able to extract files from the system drive with utilities. I have my old bookmark and favicon files, but when I replace them in the new laptop, they are immediately overwritten upon browser launch. Is there any way for me to restore from these two files with current Brave v1.51.118?
