If you choose 'Show all bookmarks' from the 'Bookmarks' menu, you get a
dialog window with an 'Import and backup' menu that you can use to
export the bookmarks to a JSON file and then import them again in the
new browser.

I am not aware of any upgrade method other than simply replacing the
browser directory as you are doing.
