this is F'ing ridiculous, I update Firefox and it is so different I cannot figure out how to do anything, and lost my bookmarks!
I only updated my Firefox because I got messages saying I should do this to make it work better. Now all I have is a big headache, I have already wasted hours trying to figure out this whole new system. Like, where did my bookmarks go, and how do I even access them when I get them back installed. You Firefox people are really full of it, I never wanted a "new" system. Why can't you just leave a basic system for us old people that do not want to learn a new system every time you want to fill it up with new gizmos and bells and whistles? I guess I have to go back to using internet explorer, thanks for wasting my time.

Hi,
The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
If you click on the button to the right of the star you should be able to access your bookmarks.
If you still don't see them, take a look at this article Recover lost or missing Bookmarks

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox?

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
