Since firefox looks different to me now I am assuming i had an older version anyway. these book marks are not in my actual google account as I can't locate them in chrome and never had them there. They were all booked marked under the gmail bookmarks tab in firefox. i just downloaded firefox last night to my new computer so it's the latest version and that nice little gmail book marks tab is no long there. please help as i had a lot of stuff saved that way assuming that i could access them anywhere not just in an older version of firefox.

Hey kc9agz, do these happen to be a http://www.google.com/bookmarks bookmark?

Hello kc9agz,

Thank you for contacting Mozilla Support. Did you back up your bookmarks before you moved to the new computer? You can find more information about backing up and restoring bookmarks in this article.

Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer

Please let us know if this solves your issue.

Cheers, Patrick

Thanks for the info Patrick, but the bookmark link across the top is not where they were stored. It was a specific link to the right of the Help link that said "Gmail Bookmarks" and it's not even showing in this version of firefox. At this point I can only assume they are lost forever.

Oh my gosh - thank you - how did you find them? I had been looking all over. Then again - I'm a bit on the tech challenged side of things that's why I came here to ask. Thanks again
