I'm trying to restore my bookmarks after reinstalling Windows 10. They were saved in a windows.old file on my Passport. I used the Import and Backup button, selected Restore, and choose my file. It's a json file. It then gave me an error message "unsupported file type."
BTW, the file ends in .jsonlz45dd510a6. It's not recognized as a json file, so I had choose 'all files" and then highlighted it to select it, and received the above error message. I then tried making a copy but omitting the letters and numbers after .jason, and tried using that, but got an error message "unable to process the backup file."

My bookmarks list contains subfolders by topic. Most of these open but 2 do not ... I don't know why. These two don't look any different but the rest open back onto the screen to the left to reveal content whereas the other two just stay put. I've verified the content and can get to them in other ways. What's up with that?

In the profiles, I created a new profile based on my current profile and launched it in a new window. All the bookmarks are there and work. I make it the default profile and restart. The browser comes up as before with no bookmarks, cannot restore, cannot add them, etc.. I go to profiles, yes, it is using the alternate. I set the original back to default and restart. Same thing no bookmarks, the alternate if started in a new browser does have the bookmarks... see the circle of despair I am in.
I tried this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recover-user-data-missing-after-firefox-update#firefox:win7:fx71 It did not work (see above). Also, I am getting this error banner on my screen after every restart:

I recently had to wipe my MacBook Air clean thus prompting me to download Firefox - version 70.01 (64-bit). I set up all of my work websites, history, passwords, emails, etc., but every time I close the browser and try to open it again, nothing is saved. I've tried several times and I am at a loss. Yes, I have created a Firefox account, and even this won't leave me logged in if I close the browser. I have to start over every time. Any advice?

Hi, i am a Firefox lover. I have been using Firefox for about 3 years. But have one things that i really hate in Firefox, that is bookmark bar in Firefox not disappear automatic when you are not in Newtab. My screen is quiet small (13 inch) so it's quiet anoy when the bookmark bar take a small space of the interface. I just wonder that why Firefox don't make it like Chrome?
I tried a way, which is using custom userChrome.css but it's animation is not smooth.
I really love Firefox and i hope that you will make it become more convenient for users.
Thank you.
