I cleared cache, junk, and history from my computer, and now I have no bookmarks on Firefox, and when I bring up the restore option it give me several options but not bookmarks. Can someone please help me to restore them. Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean with the "small horizontal 3 line icon for bookmarks that used to be in the top right corner". There is the Library icon, but that looks like a bookshelf.

In Firefox 87+ the Library and the Home button aren't present by default on the Navigation Toolbar and you need to drag them out of the Customize palette to the toolbar.

You can check the Customize palette to see if you recognize it as a toolbar button you can add to the toolbar.

Did you clear the Firefox profile folder in "AppData\Roaming" as that would have removed the bookmarks as well?

  • C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>

It does seem like I cleaned AppData, and of course I didn't have them backed up. I did try the above information that you supplied, but it only gives today as a restore point. Also, apparently Firefox updated or something, because my small horizontal 3 line icon for bookmarks that used to be in the top right corner is gone and they put them in a tab right below the address bar, and I really dislike it. I am very disappointed in the bookmark tab change, but I think I'll do my best to remember my bookmarks and just add them back one at a time, and then back them up, lesson learned. If you have any suggestions on how to restore my previous version of Firefox back so that I can utilize the original icon for the bookmarks that would be great. Thanks

I actually found that earlier, but didn't think that was it, but it is, and I dragged into place and it works! Now is there anyway to hide the bookmarks clear to the right side and only appear when I click the Library Icon, rather than having to use that tab?

Just to let you know, I managed to get it to where I can live with it. Your input and articles helped. Thanks, I appreciate it.

You can drag the Bookmarks Menu button that shows the bookmarks in a drop-down list from the Customize palette to the Navigation Toolbar. This Bookmarks Menu button has a "View bookmarks sidebar" menu item.
