I imported my bookmarks.json from another computer, via e.mail as I have always done for many years and used it to Restore my bookmarks.

As it has happened a few times before the restoring went apparently well and I can find my bookmarks in the Library (via Manage Bookmarks) but the toolbar is still showing the previous content evn after restarting Firefox.

As I have done in previous cases I looked up for the places.sqlite file but could find it.

Here is what I did find:


<startcode>

arthur-lifebooke743:[arthur]:~$ ls /home/arthur/.mozilla/firefox

<endcode>


My question is: "Should I delete </home/arthur/.mozilla/firefox/cajynx3c.default-release/places.sqlite> since there is no such file in the <Profile Group> folder?
