How do I restore a deleted category of bookmarks?
I inadvertently deleted my "Miscellaneous" category of bookmarks, not just a single file. How do I retrieve and restore that entire category?

to restore your bookmark
Give me more detail. Not sure what to click on and do. Too vague. I clicked on the star symbol, but it "leaped" over to the boookmark symbol. When I clicked on the star again, a window appeared, but nothing to click about restoring anything. Give me a step-by-step explanation, not just a menu of what to do. Thanks.

Yep, that did it. You have no idea how much I appreciate that. I had 27 different bookmarks in that one category alone, and they are all used frequently to semi-frequently. Thanks again.
If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) to get them back.
The Organize button is the first of the three buttons next to the Back and Forward buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager). That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.
If it didn't work then you can restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
- Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Restore
This will replace all current bookmarks and you lose bookmarks that were added since that backup was created.
