Bookmarks
After last night's (6/22) update, my bookmarks have disappeared. Also, will not allow me to add bookmark. What's up? Can bookmarks be recovered?

Hello! I have some solutions on what to do if your bookmarks disappear: 1. Check if Firefox created a new profile Type about:profiles into the address bar and hit Enter. If you see multiple profiles listed, try launching another one — your old bookmarks might still be there.
2. Look for the “Old Firefox Data” folder on your desktop
Sometimes Firefox creates a backup profile during updates. If you see a folder called “Old Firefox Data,” you can use it to recover your bookmarks — look for the file named places.sqlite and copy it into your active profile folder (you can locate it via about:profiles). 3. Restore from an internal backup within Firefox Click the menu (three horizontal lines) > Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks, Then go to: Import and Backup > Restore > Choose a date If you’re lucky, there should be an older backup with your bookmarks there.
4. Check if the bookmarks toolbar is just hidden Right-click on the top bar > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar > select “Always Show.”
Cheers, Nobz

Just updated today (6/3/25) and have the same issue. Can't find the options listed above to recover and can't make new bookmarks.
