Since upgrading to V4 all my bookmarks are missing and none of the posted 'fixes' work for me. What do I do now?
Since upgrading to v4 it seems that all of my bookmarks have not been copied across. I've tried the fixes posted to restore them but they don't work for me. I can find the bookmarks folder in Windows but it won't import.
My system is running Win XP SP3 with Pentium dual core processor with 1 Gb of RAM.

thankyou
Don't know what you're thanking me for, greyling, but it's nice to hear from someone.
Do you have a similar problem as well?
Can't say I'm enamoured of this lates version. It's incompatible with some toolbars I previously had and none of the previous versions 'ate' my bookmarks like this one. What else lies instore for the unwary?
This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
Sorry, cor-el, but none of the suggestions worked. I tried deleting the more recent backups created by Firefox so that it would re-build the bookmarks from an earlier backup, but even this failed.
I'm going to try uninstalling Firefox 4 altogether then re-installing after first saving the last 'good' version of my bookmarks back-ups somewhere safe and replacing them later. I'll let you know how it goes.
If this doesn't work and unless someone can come up with a fix, I have to reconcile myself to the prospect that this latest version has trashed my bookmarks never to return - much to my disappointment and disgust. Firefox has never done this before and for me it has 'lost its edge' as a preferred brower.
