Can't find correct bookmarks in Mozilla/Profile/5ccmq06e.default
Hello. I found some of my bookmarks in Appdata/Roaming/Mozilla/Profile/5ccmq06e.default/bookmarkbackups etc just like firefox help tells me. But some of the bookmarks that I can access when I use firefox browser are not contained in "bookmarkbackups". Thus obviously begs the question(s) 1) where else are my bookmarks for firefox stored, & 2), if this is the only place they are stored, then why are some of my saved bookmarks visable/accessable when using the firefox browser not included in this bookmarkbackups folder? Thank you.

In real time, bookmarks are created in and used as part of a database file named places.sqlite which has your bookmarks and history together. The files in bookmarkbackups are created at regular intervals, assuming Firefox is working normally.
Hi jscher2000. Thx for the reply. I did a search on my windows 7 machine for places.sqlite, and it led me right to 5ccmq06e.default/bookmarkbackups. I assume it is the same bookmarkbackups you wrote above, and the same one I already visitied. But as I mentioned already, when I went inside bookmarkbackups, the bookmarks were were not up to date (over 3 weeks of new additions and none are found there). Thus Firefox must not be "working normally". Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks.

Try creating a manual backup to see whether it works or crashes. This article has the steps (to avoid data loss, please ignore the restore section, just try the backup steps):
Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer
By the way, how are you checking the bookmarks listed in the backup (.jsonlz4) files? Or is the problem you can see that they are too out-of-date to have your recently added bookmarks.
