My history now goes back only several days. My bookmarks look fully intact with 154 items. I went into %APPDATA%/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/places.sqlite. The file was created 5 years ago and is 10 megs big. Yet it only goes back 7 days.

I cannot find previous versions. The only other places.sqlite CORRUPT I can find is from October 2015.

The only thing that happened a week or so ago was a brief problem solved by rebooting computer where shortcuts were requring me to run them as administrator(right click) to connect to programs.

Thoughts?? Ideas??

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

You can check in Windows Explorer if there is a previous version of the places.sqlite file available.
