Refresh has removed my bookmarks and all my favourites tabs which were under the address bar, how do I get them back ?

more options

Bookmarks and tabs simply disappear ! FF Refresh has removed all the tabs that were under the address bar (which also overflowed into a left side menu) and also my list of bookmarks. I have the file of the Old Firefox Data on my desktop but as I am not very good with the technical workings of a computer I don't know what to do. If it is possible to restore these a step by step list of instructions would be greatly appreciated, thank you

Hi minimo, it seems you are making progress.

After a Refresh, your bookmarks should be present but the Bookmarks Toolbar (the bar below the main/address bar) is turned off. Also, the classic top menu bar is turned off. Now you have both of those turned back on.

I don't understand your question about the tabs bar. Is something missing there compared with what you had before?

Somehow...by pure luck....I have got the tabs back but not sure if this is how the part above the address bar should look. Any advice please.
