I used CCleaner to get rid of temporary files and all my Firefox Bookmarks disappeared. How can I get them back?

Hi there,

The bookmarks data is stored in places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite in you profile folder. For more details, see Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.

In case you have troubles recovering your bookmarks, check out Recover lost or missing Bookmarks.

By the way, bookmarks are not normally considered temporary data. That seems like a mistake by CCleaner, unless your Firefox was set up to store its data in an unusual location.
