Hi. I deleted these files per wrong advice: sessionstore [v56] sessionstore.jsonlz4 file(s). How can I restore & save my book marks if I have to un/reinstall?

Does this cause problems? Will they reinstall automatically somehow? Most of all, I want to preserve my book marks if I have to un/reinstall. Thank You.

Try using the Windows 10 "Recycle Bin" to undelete files you want to restore.

Sessionstore files only store your sessions. places.sqlite stores your History and Bookmarks.

Hello Cor-el/Moderator - I can't figure out how any of this works, so I am posting the best way I can. I'm sorry. I've never been this incapable, but I am apparently right now. I can't find anything in Mozilla anywhere. And I don't know how to access the threads to questions I've left, so I've started leaving new questions. ...
