After a crash and reboot where I lost my bookmarks, I discovered a "file" of them in a folder I had created for another purpose on my desktop. I don't know how they got there! file:///C:/Users/Alan/OneDrive/Desktop/MECHANICS/bookmarks.html Perhaps saved in OneDrive and migrated somehow during reboot? Anyway, is there a way to transfer these into my newly downloaded Firefox browser? Thanks!

Thanks. When i tried this A) the only stored backups were, of course, from the existing days since the new version had been installed and B) while I was able to search for previous links to upload for some reason THAT link could not be found. I will try again, however, by typing that link in manually and see what happens.

Hello,

You can import these bookmarks.

  1. Please press ctrl+shift+o, or alternatively go to the three bars => bookmarks =>manage bookmarks
  2. Click Import and Backup and import from HTML (or alt+i twice)

You will notice a restore function at the manage bookmarks window. This may contain a more recent backup of your bookmarks.
