Bookmark Problems

more options

I run the current Firefox version under Windows 11 Pro on a Dell Inspiron 15 3530 laptop, Lately, I've been having problems with my bookmarks:

  • First, I found that I had somehow lost a large number of bookmark tags; it took me several days to restore them,
  • Next, I found that I had lost a bunch of bookmark subfolders; the bookmarks (for the most part) are still listed under their tags.
  • When I try searching for tags in Bookmarks Manager, the search yield no results
  • When I try to restore my bookmarks from a previous date, I get an "unable to process file" message.
  • When I try to open the profile folder through the debugging information page, I get a "file not found" message. After some searching, I found the profile folder not at "C:\Users\croge\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\7csymh5k.default-release", but at "C:\Users\croge\AppData\Local\Packages\Mozilla.Firefox_n80bbvh6b1yt2\LocalCache\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles", Something seems to have gone haywire--did I miss something, or is there an error somewhere?

Chosen solution

Folks, I "bit the bullet" and uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox; now, everything seems to have straightened out.
