I'm using genuine windows 10. After a recent update (Feature update to Windows 10, version 1809), my firefox (updated) address bar HISTORY & all the BOOKMARKS have disappeared. I'm unable to restore it. When I try to bookmark any site, it does not do it. Plz let me know the step by step procedure to resolve these issues. Thanks in anticipation.

[v57+] Places Maintenance is built into Firefox.

Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.

You will find Places Database near the bottom. Press the Verify Integrity button.

When done, copy and post the results here.


Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox? Look inside. Look for the folder with the latest creation date.
