Firefox wiped all stored bookmarks and settings and can't reconnect to restore after recent update.

This morning this was at the top of my screen when I logged into my computer. "For quick access, place your bookmarks here on the bookmarks toolbar. Manage bookmarks..."
I did click on it however nothing happened or so I thought. I later go to the upper right hamburger and click on it and go to the bookmark tab only to find all my bookmarks are gone.
Can anyone tell me how to get them back since that is my quick access to my business sites? Is there a way to find them or are they just gone?
I cannot get the tab to stay out so I can take a screen shot. Sorry.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
It seems that I cannot recover my bookmarks from my previous Mozilla account. Is that correct?
bold textwhere are my bookmarks. disappeared after last update

Hello, I use Windows 11 on my PC in France. I lost all my Firefox bookmarks and browsing history some time ago. When I try to use Firefox I get the message : Firefox is not operational because one of the Firefox files is being used by another application. I have tried to get an explanation on firefox.fr but to no avail, their support page is far too complex. I can still browse with Frefox but no bookmarks, so it defeats the purpose... Please help if you can as I now have to resort to Google Chrome, wich is not as versatile and I would really like to be able to use Firefox again. Thanks. Raymond

For the past, about 9 months, every time any update is applied to my Firefox browser, I loose access to my Bookmarks (approx 10 years worth) and have to go through the tedious process of copying, renaming, moving, restarting etc. Is Mozilla going to fix this issue soon or should I just resign myself to having to check my bookmarks every couple of days or so to see if they still exist.

Mozillers,
I depend heavily in my environmental and other work on Firefox and am grateful for its ability to restore previous tabs when my laptop, not infrequently, stops working abruptly.
Now the much-used bookmarks have disappeared. A search site states promisingly:
"To restore Firefox bookmarks, use the built-in backup feature by going to Menu > Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Restore, then select a dated backup or a manual file (like a JSON backup) to bring back lost bookmarks..."
But my Firefox's Bookmarks drop-down menu has no Manage Bookmarks option. PLEASE, what must I do?
Elsewhere I managed to find this file which apparently contains recent bookmarks:
"C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\unk14jlv.default-release-1647366062305\bookmarkbackups\bookmarks-2025-12-26_95_4IdGtYxezJpwuH1UIiT1bRwe1K6bcGO8rv0mqa9rUWU=.jsonlz4"
But attempting to open it with Applications\firefox.exe (default) accomplishes nothing.
FOOL-proof instructions would be wonderful. Thank you.

Firefox suddenly reset to a fresh install state: only default bookmarks, my custom ones are gone. No sync enabled. No manual reset/refresh/reinstall done. Tried: Restore from backups (none recent), about:profiles (only new profile), checked bookmarkbackups folder (empty/old). Please help recover bookmarks if possible. What could cause this? Any recovery steps?

Why have all my bookmarks disappeared? I wnt through several of th steps offered on the cautionary link and nothing changed. What Windows update defiled your security? Will I have to search for another browser? I've used Firefox for years ... don't make me search for a better browser.

When my computer reseted, I lost all my accounts. When I logged in with Mozilla, only past data from microsoft edge were restored because of the uploading part of the sign in. How do I get my bookmarks and passwords back?
I have lost all my bookmarks. I understand Firefox may have a file running that may cause this. How do I close the file?

Tried Old Firefox Data and I don't think it's there. I don't see it in about:profiles. I used it yesterday and windows seemed to refresh overnight. When I opened firefox this morning, an old profile came up (as it does sometimes). Usually when this happens, two profiles open and I just close the old one that I don't use. But this time only the old one opened. PLEASE HELP!!!

I lost all bookmarks overnight and the Bookmarks tab is completely empty. I have located the latest JSONL24 backup file and tried to import it via the Firefox General Tab setting; however, the file does not show up in the Import Browser Data route. In fact, the C: directory as seen through this window is quite different from the actual C: directory. What am I doing wrong? Are there any other way to restore the bookmarks using the JSONL24 file?
