My automatic booklmark backups isn't working.

For some reason my FF14.01 has stopped automatically backing up my bookmarks. If I have an issue in the past I hit restore and pick a date, usually there is a backup everyday for the past 10 days, now when I went to restore the last backup is over a week ago, nothing recent?

Hi,

You can consider the Reset Firefox feature via Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information.

(To revert to the previous profile, close the new profile, start Firefox and choose the *.default profile. While the Profile Manager is open, you can also delete the newly reset profile (the one containing random numbers)).

Also, if you have security software (antivirus, firewall etc.) installed, you can try deleting all existing instances of Firefox and related files in all the different configuration areas/modules of the security software. Instead create new allow/trusted rules for Firefox + its related processes. Even otherwise the security software may also ask again when Firefox is started and you can try to allow/trust at that time. Please see this.

Are that the daily JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder or are you creating a bookmarks.html backup?
