No live bookmarks in library and when I search the library for "live" nothing is found. No indication of live bookmarks in the awesome bar of any of the toolbars. Also I don't see any buttons on a webpage to link to a feed.

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.

  1. Use one of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
    • Click the Firefox button to open the menu and click on Bookmarks.
    • Click the Bookmarks menu and click on Show All Bookmarks.
  2. At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu 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.

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

Thank you.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.

  • Firefox menu button > Options
  • View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
  • Right-click empty toolbar area

You can find a feed button in the toolbar palette and drag this button on the Navigation Toolbar.

  • if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
  • if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

My bookmarks are not lost or missing, they are all there. Now when I click on a feed URL, I can put it in any folder and my feedreader, Newsfox will recognize it. I just don't have a Live Bookmarks folder, I thought it was automatically created by Firefox and would show up as a folder in the Bookmarks library.

I did drag the feed button to the toolbars (They were already visible). I just don't have a Live Bookmarks folder, I thought it was automatically created by Firefox and would show up as a folder in the Bookmaarks library.
