</p>Did you ever imported a bookmarks HTML backup as that can sometimes cause bookmarks to get plaeced i2022-01-13T11:32:34-08:00cor-elhttps://support.mozilla.org/zu/questions/1364276#answer-1473970<p>Did you ever imported a bookmarks HTML backup as that can sometimes cause bookmarks to get plaeced in a folder under the Bookmarks Menu folder and not on the Bookmarks Toolbar)&nbsp;?
</p><p>Did you previiously had a Bookmarks folder under the Bookmarks Menu folder&nbsp;?
</p><p>Are you using Sync to sync the bookmarks&nbsp;?
</p>
<hr>
<p>If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync temporarily during troubleshooting.
</p><p>This could be a problem with the <b>places.sqlite</b> and <b>favicons.sqlite</b> files in the Firefox profile folder.
</p>
<ul><li>use the "Places Database" -&gt; "Verify Integrity" button on the "Help -&gt; More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page
</li></ul>
<p>If errors are reported with "Verify Integrity", close and restart Firefox or reboot and retry.
</p><p>If "Verify Integrity" cannot repair places.sqlite, rename/remove all <b>places.sqlite</b> and <b>favicons.sqlite</b> files in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed.
Firefox will rebuild places.sqlite and restore the bookmarks from the most recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
</p>
<ul><li>keep a backup copy of places.sqlite in case a new places.sqlite database has to be created
</li><li>you lose the history when a new places.sqlite is created
</li></ul>
<p>You may have to restore an older bookmarks backup in the bookmarkbackups folder via the Bookmarks Manager (Library).

</li></ul>Thank you for the quick reply. I have my bookmarks back but not sure what I did.
When the bookmarks2022-01-13T10:24:50-08:00eberger5https://support.mozilla.org/zu/questions/1364276#answer-1473960<p>Thank you for the quick reply. I have my bookmarks back but not sure what I did.
</p><p>When the bookmarks were gone I had the following folders in the Bookmark Library
History
Downloads
All Bookmarks
</p><pre> Bookmarks Toolbar
Bookmarks Menu
Other Bookmarks
</pre>
<p>Clicking on the Bookmarks Menu revealed nothing. I could not get the Bookmarks Bar folder beneath it, or the Bookmarks beneath that. See attached image (Bookmarks missing). I did have the Bookmarks bar in the browser but not in the library. I restored 1561 bookmarks from a prior day and that did nothing. No bookmarks showed up. But I decided they might just be hidden so I did a search for one that I knew I should have. When I found it I right clicked and selected Show in Folder. It appeared and then all the bookmarks appeared too.
</p><p>I went to my other device, which as I said I had not update to v96. Earlier I had exported its bookmarks as a json file. So I updated to 96. It seemed ok. I then restored the json file and it seemed ok. But then when I returned to my main PC (they are both signed into the same account), I again had lost my bookmarks both in the Library and the bookmarks bar was gone in the browser window. I started clicking around in the header rows in the browser on the right and did a right click but was careless and missed what I hit and everything appeared again. So I am confused but all is ok now.
</p><p>Two other questions. Is my organization in my library standard? I snagged an image of it and attached it (Bookmarks present). It seems odd that I have All Bookmarks, Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks menu, Bookmarks bar, and then Bookmarks. It seems like the Bookmarks Bar is a redundant folder. Comments?
</p><p>Also, when you click on the Restore points it tells you how many items are present. How do you find how many items are present in a library once it is loaded?
</p><p>Thanx again.

Restore Bookmark Backups
</p><p>Firefox automatically makes backups of the
bookmarks. These are stored in the
<strong>bookmarkbackups</strong> folder.
</p><p>Open the <strong>Bookmarks Manager; </strong> Press the <strong>Alt</strong> or
<strong>F10</strong> key to bring up the toolbar, and select <strong>Bookmarks. </strong>
Hot key is <strong>&lt;Control&gt; <em>(Mac=&lt;Command&gt;)</em> &lt;Shift&gt; B. </strong>
Firefox 84+ <strong>&lt;Control&gt; <em>(Mac=&lt;Command&gt;)</em> &lt;Shift&gt; O. </strong>
</p><p>Once the window is open, at the top of the page,
press the button labeled <strong>Import and Backup. </strong>
Select <strong>Restore. </strong> From the list, pick the file you
want and click it.
</p><p>The backups are stored in a <strong>jsonlz4 file</strong>
named something like this;
bookmarks-2016-06-29_1424_enD1GTH ya0JmicnYWg4V4g==.jsonlz4
</p><p>In this example; 2016-06-29 = date created,
1424 = number of entries.
