I recently had to use a Western Digital Smartware backup (I used their program, not the Windows backup program).
One of my hard drives (two physical drives in a RAID array that made them look like one big drive) failed, and had to be replaced. The computer has been repaired and I have restored from backup. I have looked in the user/desktop directories and the only bookmark file I can find is dated 8/2012 (This is 5/2013). Is there another place, Firefox bookmarks are stored, where I can look for a more updated file to import? Thank you!

hello, firefox stores all your important data in the so called profile folder (your bookmarks & history are within the places.sqlite file).
Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data
Recovering important data from an old profile

Firefox stores a daily JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder in the Firefox profile folder and keeps ten of those.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder
It seems that my bookmarks cannot be recovered from the last backup I made. I was able to restore from an older backup. HOWEVER,
1. None of the 'unsorted' bookmarks appear? Shouldn't they be part of the backup of bookmarks? It is POSSIBLE, but not PROBABLE that I had no "unsorted" bookmarks as of the backup date.
2. The (2nd to last) backup of my hard drive was done in November 2012, but the bookmarks are dated AUGUST 2012. That was from the desktop. Why didn't my backup file contain bookmarks after August? a. - Doesn't Firefox keep the latest bookmarks file ? Where, then? b. - Do I have to actually tell Firefox to make a backup of the bookmarks to have one available?
- Still missing over 100 bookmarks!
Thanks!
