Tried to opened Firefox this morning. Immediately received message box that "Firefox was updating, please wait". When Firefox window opened I did not see my Homepage. Instead there was a window asking me to launch POCKET via Firefox, GOOGLE or email. I was surprised because I had no idea what "POCKET" was. I clicked email but the next screen gave me no more information about what POCKET was so I backed out and opened another window with my HOMEPAGE. When I next clicked BOOKMARKS I discovered my BOOKMARKS folders were all empty----- no bookmark links at all. I tried "Restore Firefox" - (nothing) and then "Restore Bookmarks" ( also nothing.) I am devastated...... Please Help

Hi, Pocket is for saving a Sanitized (with out code) page to read later.

Please look on your Desktop for a Folder called OldFirefoxData if there great.

If not please look here for a 2nd Profile :

You want the oldest dated folder.

Bookmarks are in your Profile in :

  • bookmarks and history: places.sqlite
  • bookmark backups: compressed .jsonlz4 JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder

fyi for the future :

There is an "Old Firefox Data" folder on my desktop that contains 3 files and no clue how to restore the categories, sub-folders, and sub-sub-folders to the new Firefox screen in a vertical column along the right side like the the former Firefox version. As a result, I have switched to Edge until I find out how, or if they can be restored to their previous position. Help!
