hello how do i recover firefox bookmarks and passwords from win 10 computer that failed motherboard hard drive ok . and put them on new win11 computer i did not have a firefox account on old drive or sync setup but i can access files on old drive.

Apparently my system was upgraded overnight. I was able to login with my google password but that is the only one listed in my password storage.

How do I get them all back?

I formatted my HDD and reinstalled windows 10 pro again on same HDD and system. After installing firefox and loggin into my account everything got synced except Bookmarks. For safety i had taken backup of my old firefox installation profile folders.

However i tried to sync and also replace bookmarks file from old to new, but none of the things are working for me. In my last installation there is no file named places.sqlite but same is created in new which is causing my bookmarks not to load.

Please note that usually all my bookmarks was automatically backed up to my account and it used to restore back again automatically without the need to take extra backup. But this time my sync was unable to restore my bookmarks.

When i am trying to click options like import bookmark from HTML or Restore Bookmark from my backup file, sadly there is no action after clicking on relevant buttons. It is not just opening the dialog box for me to select file to restore the bookmark.

I tried all options at my end but of no use. Please help as there is bug which doesnt open bookmark restore or import bookmark from other file

so i had a bunch of bookmarks saved, and when i logged in today they are gone, replaced with a message For quick access, place your bookmarks here on the bookmarks toolbar. manage bookmarks (link)

so when I use the link I cant restore bookmarks, cant seem to save new bookmarks, and the FAQ section isnt helping, some of the stps they talk about are greyed out in my version, so I cant click on them etc.

Is this a windows 10 issue? Am I the only one having this problem?

I recently had to do a hard reset on my Windows 11 PC. When I reinstalled Firefox, tried to retrieve my bookmarks, they are not there. Is there anyway to retrieve those book marks from 6 months ago?

I posted a question in here two days ago because my firefox wouldnt open anymore i got a follow up answer telling me to give the crash id but never got a follow up after i sent it . i tried shuffling between profiles and in the end got it working but today my pc had a crash while firefox was open and it had to restart when i tried to open firefox its as if i just installed it and i dont have any backups to be honest i tried checking the appdata folder and there is a profile folder that seems big enough that it might be mine but it doesnt seem like firefox is reading it for some reason i tried switching the data in the profile folder that firefox is considering but it didnt work .

This morning this was at the top of my screen when I logged into my computer. "For quick access, place your bookmarks here on the bookmarks toolbar. Manage bookmarks..."

I did click on it however nothing happened or so I thought. I later go to the upper right hamburger and click on it and go to the bookmark tab only to find all my bookmarks are gone.

Can anyone tell me how to get them back since that is my quick access to my business sites? Is there a way to find them or are they just gone?

I cannot get the tab to stay out so I can take a screen shot. Sorry.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I use Firefox (the current version) on a Dell Windows 11 Pro laptop. I have around 8800 bookmarks, and I've lost around half the tags on my bookmarks. (The bookmarks themselves are OK; I'm losing about half of the tabs.,) This has happened to me twice recently, and I'm restoring the bookmarks as I write these words.(after I'm finished, I'll save two copies of the HTML file for backups. Can anybody tell me why this is happpening, aaand How I can prevent it in the future?

Thanks.

Firefox suddenly reset to a fresh install state: only default bookmarks, my custom ones are gone. No sync enabled. No manual reset/refresh/reinstall done. Tried: Restore from backups (none recent), about:profiles (only new profile), checked bookmarkbackups folder (empty/old). Please help recover bookmarks if possible. What could cause this? Any recovery steps?
