new user. lost bookmarks already!
Today I was adding Firefox to my Mac, as I want to get rid of Safari. (I already was using Firefox on my Surface laptop, and have stopped using Edge). But I must have pressed the wrong button; after I installed Firefox on my Mac, I wanted to import the bookmarks I have been using from Firefox on the other laptop. Instead, I somehow imported the Safari bookmarks to Firefox--I didn't want those! Then I went to the Surface laptop, and when I pulled up Firefox (I was signed in already from yesterday) it had also changed all my bookmarks to the Safari version---oh noooooo! Is there a way I can reverse everything and go back to the earlier version of Firefox with the bookmarks I want to use--not the ones from Safari? I am not going to touch anything else--afraid to make it worse! Thank you.

If you use Sync, best is to disconnect Sync temporarily on all devices during troubleshooting. You should be able to restore the bookmarks from a recent backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
It is possible the other device somehow already had those Safari bookmarks and hadn't notice this and that you got them on the new device via Sync.
If you use Sync, best is to reconnect one device at the time and wait for the initial Sync to finish before connecting another device when you are done fixing the bookmarks.
