i specificly have a firefox acount soo i can acess my bookmarks if something happens to my pc. now that it did and i had to format it, unfortunatly i forgot my password. i didnt even try any false ones couse usually you can save your Data by verifing your acount over emeil when requesting a new one. but after doing that its all gone. 10 years of bookmarks gone. how do i get back my bookmarks? i never agreed to this kind of security feature. i dont think its agood thing, and i never saved any infos that could get misused if stolen so such a feature as earasing my data is unwanted.

Hello,

Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.

  1. Click the menu button Fx89menuButton, then click Bookmarks.
  2. Scroll to the bottom and click Manage Bookmarks.
  3. At the top of the Library window, click on Import and Backup and select Restore.
  4. Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
  5. In the new window that appears, click OK.

Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.

For more information, see the Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer article. For other solutions, see the Recover lost or missing Bookmarks article.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Thank you.
