For some reason ( unknown to me) the bookmarks in Firefox were sent to my Desktop and I can not return them back to the Bookmarks in Firefox. Would appreciate any assistance in accomplishing the return of my Bookmarks.

Hello,

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.

  1. Use one of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
    • Click the Firefox button to open the menu and click on Bookmarks.
    • Click the Bookmarks menu and click on Show All Bookmarks.
  2. At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
  3. Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
  4. In the new window that appears, click OK.
  5. 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 this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Thank you.

A slow method would be to open Firefox, take the first link and put it in the FF window. Bookmark it. Remove the desktop icon you just used. Continue until you are done.
