Are you using sync? Could you have removed them by accident?

[v57+] Places Maintenance is built into Firefox.

Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.

You will find Places Database near the bottom. Press the Verify Integrity button.

Was using sync (with my iphone and ipad) and stopped because lost bookmarks and passwords

Did not remove them ... today only some were gone ... the rest were there

Did as you recommended ... will see if that helps

Thanks

If you have sync, and there is a problem anywhere, Shut Down Sync Immediately On All Devices to prevent the problem from spreading. Once the problem is fixed, perform the same repair on all computers/profiles before using sync again.

Thanks

I deleted the Firefox app on iPhone and iPad and signed out from my firefoz account on my computer ... only have one computer and only Firefox on this one computer and not on any other devices

One more thing. In my bookmarks folders, I have folders with the folder ... it seems it is the folders which are within are missing

Try to restore a backup from the bookmarkbackups folder.

• Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup -> Restore
• https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them

The name of an automatically created JSON bookmarks backup in the bookmarkbackups folder includes a total item count (folders and separators included) and an hash value to prevent saving the same backup more than once. You also see this count in the Restore menu drop-down list/

• bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD_<item count>_<hash>.jsonlz4.

Did as you suggested

Hopefully this will take care of it

Thanks

This seems to have worked ... two days and no loss of bookmarks

Thanks
