Hello,

Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.

1. Click the menu button , then click Bookmarks.
2. Scroll to the bottom and click Manage Bookmarks.
3. At the top of the Library window, click on Import and Backup and select Restore.
4. Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
5. In the new window that appears, click OK.

Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.

For more information, see the Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer article. For other solutions, see the Recover lost or missing Bookmarks article.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Thank you.

When I hit "choose file" window remains blank and no recovery file if found

Same thing happened to me today. All my profile was deleted, I had to create new one without any of my previous data. Tried to restore bookmarks: I see file places.sqlite with prevoius modification date, but it's not JSON file.

I found a problem- in the dock, I had 2 versions of Firefox- one open, one not. No idea how this happened, but I tossed the unopened version and voila! Bookmarks returned.

Mamme001: Could you please write how exactly you did it?
