All my bookmark folders have disappeared. I have important information regarding my health issues and dressmaking and knitting information and patterns all saved in folders, for ease of finding. It took me a very long time to organise these folders, so I am very annoyed now. I need this information urgently. It was easy for me to locate anything I wanted with these folders. Now I can't do that, and have no idea where I got a lot of the information from in the first place. The only bookmarks I have are recent bookmarks that I didn't put in folders. Most of these are not very important, and can be found again. But I desperately need my folders back. HOW DO I GET THE FOLDERS BACK PLEASE??????

hi, the following steps should get you back to the bookmarking structure you're familiar with :))
  • click on the 57 library icon library icon and go to bookmarks > bookmarking tools > add bookmarks menu to the toolbar.
  • now when you click the Bookmark Menu icon (star on tray) icon that's newly appearing on the toolbar, you'll get to the same bookmarks menu like in earlier versions...
