Missing bookmarks

Hi there,

My copy of Firefox in Windows auto-updated yesterday and wiped out all of my bookmarks. Is there any way that I can retrieve these? I apparently wasn't running the browser logged in, and I had no backup.

Thanks.

Did you try to close and restart Firefox or reboot the computer?

Firefox keeps backups in the bookmarkbackups folder.

The name of automatically created JSON bookmarks backups in the bookmarkbackups folder includes a total item count (folders and separators included) and an hash value to prevent saving the same backup more than once. You also see this count in the Library Restore menu drop-down list.

  • bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD_<item count>_<hash>.jsonlz4.
