where are all my old bookmarks?

Hi manfred_dugas, Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below. # Click the menu button [[Image:Fx89menuButton]], then click ''Bookmarks''. # Scroll to the bottom and click ''Manage Bookmarks''. # At the top of the Library window, click on ''Import and Backup'' and select ''Restore''. # Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover. # In the new window that appears, click OK. Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored. For more information, see the [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] article. For other solutions, see the [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]] article. '''Did you lose your bookmarks after updating Firefox?''' If Firefox starts up after an update without your bookmarks and other settings, check whether your data is available in a different [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data|profile]]: Inside Firefox, type or paste '''about:profiles''' in the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it. The [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles#w_manage-profiles-when-firefox-is-open|About Profiles page]] will open. This page should list at least one profile and could list many. The profile that Firefox is currently using will show:<br> '''This is the profile in use and it cannot be deleted.''' ''Please do not delete anything here; don't use any Remove buttons.'' Do you have another profile named '''default''' or default-''longnumber'' listed on this page? If so, you can check whether it is the one you were using recently by clicking its '''Launch profile in new browser''' button. If it isn't what you want, simply close that new window. If it IS what you want, click the '''Set as default profile''' button for that profile on the about:profiles page. Firefox will use it automatically at the next startup.
