My mac crashed and after reinstalling a fresh OSX & applications, I went to reinstall my last computer backup (I clone my laptop on a monthly basis) and there was no *.JSON file at all in any of my libraries.

More Information

I looked at all my files on my backup drive and there were no JSON files anywhere.
I went to the \library\caches\firefox\profiles backup. In there was an ID 'zodazxxt.default' and under that were a few folders - cache, mozilla-media-cache, startupCache and 2 files urlclassifer files. There were no JSON files within these folders.
I'm running the Mac Lion OSX and Firefox 3.5.7
Can anyone help?

Are you trying to restore the bookmarks?

Do you still have the Time Machine backups?

In Mac OS X v10.7, the $HOME/Library folder is a hidden folder.

Open Finder and use one of these:

  • Go > Go To Folder (Shift-Command-G) and in the dialog type: ~/Library
  • Open the "Go" menu and hold down the Option key to make the Library appear
