My computer crashed a week ago. I re-installed Firefox, but I had downloaded online lectures from school I attend online in Live Bookmarks.

All the class lectures I downloaded are gone-they did not appear in my bookmarks or any other place.

How can I retrieve these lectures?

They are importants to me?

Do you have any backup files?


Firefox automatically makes backups of the bookmarks. These are stored in the bookmarkbackups folder.

Open the Bookmarks Manager; Press the Alt or F10 key bring up the tool bar, and select Bookmarks. Hot key is <Control>(Mac=<Command>) <Shift> B.

Once the window is open, at the top of the page, press the button labeled Import and Backup. Select Restore. From the list, pick the file you want and click it.

The backups are stored in a jsonlz4 file named something like this; bookmarks-2016-06-29_1424_enD1GTHya0JmicnYWg4V4g==.jsonlz4 In this example; 2016-06-29 = date created, 1424 = number of entries.
