How can I restore my Firebox bookmarks?
My Firefox book marks have disappeared. The toolbar is open but has nothing to display.
I've gone to my Firefox Library window, but the entire page is blank. The table gives no entries for Name, Tags, or Location. Lines below (Name, URL, Location, Tags, and Keyword) are empty.
Searching my MacBook Air I found my Firefox Profile folder. In it there's a folder ending in "default-release". That folder contains a folder called "bookmarkbackups" containing files with titles indicating recent backups.
How can I restore my booksmarks?

If Firefox starts up after an update without your bookmarks and other settings, check whether your data is available in a different profile:
Inside Firefox, type or paste about:profiles in the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it. The 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:
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.
For more information see Recover user data missing after Firefox update or reinstall.
Note: If your bookmarks are not available in another Firefox profile, see Recover lost or missing Bookmarks for other solutions.

Thank you.
A tech at a local, independent Apple store restored my bookmarks. 😆
My last Firefox update had been difficult; I watched the installer make several attempts before declaring "success". That was wrong. Apparently the update corrupted code needed to access my Profile through any path. The tech reinstalled Firefox. With a clean install, the app reconnected the Profile folder and retrieved my last saved bookmarks.
Hope this helps anyone else troubleshooting the same problem.
