I lost all of my bookmarks after the Firefox update. How do i get them back?
I lost all of my bookmarks and can not get them back. I went thru the help forums and they did not supply a solution. I went thru the profile manager and I only have one profile now. How do I get back my old bookmarks cuz I need them

Are you sure that your bookmarks are actually gone?
Have you viewed your bookmarks in the Bookmarks Sidebar, in the Library, or in the Menu Bar > Bookmarks drop-down. Firefox 57 has a different Bookmarks button sitting on the toolbar by default, which doesn't display all the user's bookmarks as in earlier versions.
Or try this to retrieve the older style / action button:
library icon and go to bookmarks > bookmarking tools > add bookmarks menu to the toolbar.
icon that's newly appearing on the toolbar, you'll get to the same bookmarks menu like in earlier versions...
Can you see your bookmarks now?
None of that helped.
Do you see the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Manager (Library)?
- Bookmarks -> Show All Bookmarks
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.
- use "Verify Integrity" on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page

None of this has helped and it is very frustrating
