Hi I have an urgent issue. Firefox has lost my bookmarks that were in my toolbar. I followed the instructions and restored. It said "Revert Bookmarks" so I clicked yes, it then came up with "Unable to process the backup file" and deleted all other bookmarks. I need these bookmarks to operate my business and urgently need them back!!! What could have caused this?

Thank you, Nigel

Have you tried all your backups?

Sounds that your places.sqlite file is corrupted.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder and if necessary delete all places files.
