Hi, I would non what so ever. I do not know something about a overhaul, you would know as your running a beta. Look at the Help --> About page and click What's New, it maybe listed there or give reference to it.

The only way would be to have a backup as you should :

• https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles
• https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/export-firefox-bookmarks-to-backup-or-transfer

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Separate Security Issue, please update your Flash 26.0 r0 Flash Player Version: 30.0.0.113 Current Version https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>

Here is what I mean by an "overhaul" of the bookmark properties:

First, the old props for a typical link (facebook). Notice that I have stored my name and password. https://prod-cdn.sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2018-06-25-20-25-41-155f28.png

Now the "overhaul." Firefox has changed the properties window and has NOT imported my bookmark properties: https://prod-cdn.sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2018-06-25-20-26-02-9bb8c7.png

I am unable to restore these properties myself because if they still exist Firefox is hiding them from me. Where are my properties? I have HUNDREDS of them in links that are now gone.

p.s. "What's new" gives this message: "We’re still preparing the notes for this release, and will post them here when they are ready. Please check back later."

Fx 62 doesn't display the Description field for bookmarks, as that feature has been deprecated. Then in Fx 64 that Description field will be removed from the Places.sqlite file completely.

Here's another Bug report where continued support for that feature was denied a couple years ago. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1276819

Note that there is a hidden description field that is used for the about:newtab page. I don't know if this field will be exposed to the user interface.

If I may chime in here briefly - while I do not know the answer to your predicament, I empathize as I have experienced the loss of MY cherished bookmarks due to an unfortunate update a while back, and I wasn't running a beta version. FF bookmarks, in my experience, cannot be trusted. Periodically I export them to an html page, but generally speaking, I avoid them and use Linkman instead.

You are entitled to your opinion, but the Owner of this thread has experienced something entirely different than "lost bookmarks". As I posted and cor-el posted further information about, the removal of that Description field was a planned "feature change" to Firefox.

It's a shame that you didn't ask for support for your "lost bookmarks" because Firefox does automatically backup bookmarks daily and it retains the 15 most recent backups. IOW, the user has two weeks (assuming daily use of Firefox) to restore a backup until they would all be overwritten.

My Firefox updated this morning and now all my bookmark information is gone. How do I get it back? This is rediculous. I to use this area to store hints to paswords and such. I want my information back. How could you do such a rediculous thing?

As I mentioned to uncanny 3 weeks ago, this thread was about the Description field in Bookmarks > Properties not being visable in Firefox 62 and later versions. Unrelated to "all my bookmark information is gone."
