I refreshed firefox and can not find my bookmarks and passwords. How can I restore them?
I am only a user, not a computer wiz.

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox? Look inside. Look for the folder with the latest creation date.

Very strange. Out of frustration I shut my computer down for dinner. When I came back, everything was there upon restart. I also located the bookmarks file in the file you pointed me to and will keep this email for future reference. Thank you for helping me out. I really appreciate it. Brian
Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles {web link}
I use an add-on that makes backups of my user profile, Just In Case.
Unfortunately, it is not compatible with the current Firefox.
Every now and then, open the profile folder and create a copy of the current profile as is to another location on your hard drive. This way you will have a backup.
If you do this each day, you will not lose much data. This should be done with Firefox Closed.
Note: In case you need to restore from these backups, you may need to overwrite old or corrupted files.
