Thanks for that Well I am using the speed dial addon and it is fine for new bookmarks but has lost those I had on the previous version of Firefox. Since I had a large number I am looking for a way to retrieve them

Thanks very much for your help. I followed the trail but suspect that in a "Clear out" I had previously been too enthusiastic and deleted files unintentionally. In the end I decided to start with a new list of "Smart Dials" and not include many which I seldom use. thanks again

Had the same problem .

Did a search on pc for SDBackups - the folder where speedial keeps bakcups :) - Found 2 folders with backup files named by date .

Then tried to import one of the files i found but got an error message .

Next I reinstalled speedial and went to Actions and then to Restore backups . Got a full list of backups and restored the latest date - just 2 days ago !!!

      YES ! All my dials are back !!! 

Dont know if it would have worked without reinstalling but doesnt hurt to try it .

Hope I helped .
