I just updated to Firefox 13.0 (I'm using a MacBook running OSX 10.5.8). It restarted fine, but ALL of my bookmarks are now gone. When I open the bookmark menu it is completely blank - as though I just started using Firefox for the first time. Is there anyway to get them back? Or to find a backup on my computer somewhere? (The last time I exported them for backup was probably 6 months ago). Thank you!

Hi elyyong,

Please see these articles: Recover lost or missing Bookmarks, Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer.

I think the restore section in the 2nd article will be of most help.

Post back if not.

Thanks! I ended up restarting Firefox again and they all came back fortunately!
