First I started my PC, and then windows 10 said it had to do a disk check and repair. (which took 6 hrs) That is when I saw I lost all my bookmarks on firefox, I did try to go to bookmark library and then to import and backup. Then to restore > to the date's, but I only saw today's date. So how can I get all the bookmarks back?

Did the computer indicate why it had to do do a disk check?


Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox?

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.

These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backups of files that you choose.
