Firefox has recently changed it's modus apparande and became a stack of layers that I had difficulty working around, so I started to take them down one by one, when all of a sudden the who thing crashed. So on top of losing all of my records and contacts, I am now having difficulty just getting back my most important links. It's a nightmare.

Hi, first try restarting Firefox - 3-bar menu > Exit Firefox in bottom right corner.

If that doesn't help, and in case a refresh has occurred, please look on your Desktop for a file named Old Firefox Data - Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings.

If the file isn't there; for bookmarks only, you can try this: Open bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Restore, and see if you have a backup there.

If not, and for other data, please see -

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!
