I have saved about 200 bookmarks in the few months since getting this computer yet when I look for them they are gone and the last thirty show. I created folders thinking space was a problem but when I open the folders, one or 2 are saved and the rest are ?

Have you looked in the Other Bookmarks folder?

What info does "Verify Integrity" show?

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.

  • use "Verify Integrity" button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page

In case errors are reported with "Verify Integrity" close and restart Firefox and retry.

If "Verify Integrity" cannot repair places.sqlite then remove all places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder. Firefox will rebuild places.sqlite and restore the bookmarks from a recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.

  • keep a backup copy of places.sqlite in case a new places.sqlite database has to be created
