Bookmarks disappeared, tried various suggested fixes, none worked. Unless I can repair this, I will not longer use Firefox.
I have tried to use the restore function to get the bookmarks back, but I get the reply "unable to process the backup file." I've tried several backups, but get the same message every time. I tried to delete the "places.sqlite" file as instructed by some, but this did nothing to restore my bookmarks. I cannot open the places.sqlite file, either. It may be set for "read only," but I did nothing to set it that way. But there is no way to tell, since I cannot open the file. What I need to do is be able to restore all my bookmarks in Firefox and I need precise instructions on how to do that. As I said, the methods I listed above didn't work at all. I am using Firefox version 55.0.3 64-bit edition in windows 10. Any help would be appreciated. But if I cannot restore the bookmarks, I'm afraid this will be the end of my long relationship with Firefox, since I would have to consider it extremely unstable if this cannot be corrected.
