I was running "Clean my MAC" way too late at night and inadvertantly deleted all my bookmarks. They are no longer in the library. Can anyone help, please?

That depends on just what the program did.

We do not recommend using any other program to 'clean' Firefox as the wrong files could be corrupted. Also, the browser can be set up to clean itself.


Restore Bookmark Backups

Firefox automatically makes backups of the bookmarks. These are stored in the bookmarkbackups folder.

Open the Bookmarks Manager; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the toolbar, and select Bookmarks. Hot key is <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> B.

Once the window is open, at the top of the page, press the button labeled Import and Backup. Select Restore. From the list, pick the file you want and click it.

The backups are stored in a jsonlz4 file named something like this; bookmarks-2016-06-29_1424_enD1GTH ya0JmicnYWg4V4g==.jsonlz4

In this example; 2016-06-29 = date created, 1424 = number of entries.
