Mozillers,

I depend heavily in my environmental and other work on Firefox and am grateful for its ability to restore previous tabs when my laptop, not infrequently, stops working abruptly.

Now the much-used bookmarks have disappeared. A search site states promisingly:

"To restore Firefox bookmarks, use the built-in backup feature by going to Menu > Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Restore, then select a dated backup or a manual file (like a JSON backup) to bring back lost bookmarks..."

But my Firefox's Bookmarks drop-down menu has no Manage Bookmarks option. PLEASE, what must I do?

Elsewhere I managed to find this file which apparently contains recent bookmarks:

"C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\unk14jlv.default-release-1647366062305\bookmarkbackups\bookmarks-2025-12-26_95_4IdGtYxezJpwuH1UIiT1bRwe1K6bcGO8rv0mqa9rUWU=.jsonlz4"

But attempting to open it with Applications\firefox.exe (default) accomplishes nothing.

FOOL-proof instructions would be wonderful. Thank you.

Hi Antonio,

Thank you for providing the detailed info! Are you sure there is no Manage Bookmarks option? It should be the last one, at the bottom of the menu. Alternatively, you should be able to open the same window by:

  • Pressing Ctrl+Shift+O
  • Pressing Alt to restore the menu bar and then selecting Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks
  • Right-clicking your Bookmarks toolbar and selecting Manage Bookmarks.

Does any of that help?

Denys, You deserve your Top 10 Contributor status! Thank you for your thoughts. You wondered:

> Are you sure there is no Manage Bookmarks option? It should be the last one, at the bottom of the menu.

As before, clicking on the top-right 3 bars elicits a "Synchronise all your devices" drop-down menu whose 6th line is "Bookmarks >". This in turn responds with - I wish 'snips' could be pasted into this text - the options: "Bookmark current tab", "Search bookmarks", "Hide bookmarks toolbar" and finally, beneath a line, "Recent bookmarks/(Empty).

> Alternatively, you should be able to open the same window by:

> Pressing Ctrl+Shift+O

After repeated attempts, success? Please see the first image below.

> Pressing Alt to restore the menu bar...

All that accomplished was to highlight "Organise" above. And this provided 10 options, all grey, with a Black "Close" " bottom. 

> and then selecting Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks

Not displayed. To the right of Organise, however, "Import and Backup"'s dropdown displays "Restore/choose file" which does nothing and, more encouragingly, "Import Bookmarks from HTML..." and Export Bookmarks to HTML..." But clicking on those offerings also accomplishes nothing.

> Right-clicking your Bookmarks toolbar and selecting Manage Bookmarks.

Where, please, are those options? I am starting to despair. Should I restart Firefox in Troubleshoot mode? However "Your extensions, themes, and custom settings will be temporarily disabled."

I despair. Sould I restrat Firefox in Troubleshoot mode? However "Your extensions, themes, and custom settings will be temporarily disabled."
