Mulongo oyo etiyamaki na archive. Tuna motuna mosusu soki osengeli na lisalisi

When I reset Firefox, after being told that bookmarks would be saved, none now appear. How do I restore boookmarks?

After reset all of my bookmarks are missing, despite pop-up that said they would be saved. The Bookmarkbackups folder within the old firefox data folder is empty. Where are the books and importantly how do I restore them?

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.

These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backup of files that you choose.
