How can I restore my Favorites?
My Favorites is empty; yesterday it was full.

I did a search and found some other AOL user threads about "My Favorites" problems:
I'm not sure that will help you, but I think that could be what you were asking about. This is data stored by AOL or in an AOL-customized browser, so hopefully AOL's support can help you with the problem.

Hi Dongroup3, a few things:
(1) Could you mention where you are looking that you cannot see your favorites/bookmarks. For example:
- Firefox's Bookmarks Toolbar (bar below the main address/toolbar) is blank
- Firefox's Bookmarks Menu is blank
- Firefox's Bookmarks Sidebar is blank
- somewhere else...
(2) Are you aware of any major changes to your Firefox recently? For example:
- Performed a "Refresh" -- the telltale sign is a folder on your desktop named Old Firefox Data with fresh content inside
- Installed older version of Firefox over a more recent one (can lock you out of certain data files)
(3) I notice your Firefox has a modified identification:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 AOLShield/52.4.2
Did you post using an AOL browser, or do you think this comes from an AOL add-on??
Please restore my Favorites.
Hi Dongroup3, Favorites are either stored on your computer or in a web service you are using. Mozilla support forum volunteers do not have a copy and can't restore them.
Can you answer my earlier questions so we might be able to point you to another source of help?
