My bookmarks folders have disappeared since Firefox updated. How do I recover them
After Firefox updated last night, my bookmarks are no longer in folders - and I can't locate all of them. What I have now is a list which is not helpful. My bookmarks were a filing system, so it's important that I can get them back as they were. This has happened on 2 computers that I use, so is VERY inconvenient.

Hi,
If you can't find all of your bookmarks and bookmark folders after updating to the new Firefox Quantum (version 57), try this solution:
- Click on the Library
icon on your Firefox toolbar.
- Click on Bookmarks, then click on Bookmarking Tools.
- Click on Add Bookmarks Menu to the Toolbar.
- A Bookmarks Menu
icon will be added to your toolbar.
- A Bookmarks Menu
- Click on the new Bookmarks Menu icon. You should get the same Bookmarks Menu as in earlier Firefox versions.
Let us know if this solves the problem.
- For other ways to customize Firefox, see Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars.

Many Thanks - quick and easy resolution that, in an ideal world, Mozilla would have explained alongside doing the update to Firefox that caused it.
