Not sure what happened here but Firefox updated today with the new search box. Tonight I noticed a couple things with bookmarks. It rearranged them and most of them seem to be listed 2 times. But also, I am missing some. How can I get them back to the way it was before this update?

Hello,

Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.

    • Click the Bookmarks button Bookmarks-29 and select Show All Bookmarks.
  2. At the top of the Library window, click on Import and Backup and select Restore.
  3. Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
  4. In the new window that appears, click OK.
  5. Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.

For more information, see the Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer article. For other solutions, see the Recover lost or missing Bookmarks article.

There might also be a problem with your places.sqlite file which stores your bookmarks and browsing history. Try using the Places Maintenance extension to see if that can correct any problems with the file. For more information see:

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Thank you.
