I cannot retrieve the bookmarks from the saved file (json) on my old desktop. My son used a flash using firefox instructions to send old bookmarks to new firefox page. The old ones are still showing on my old computer in firefox but we cannot locate them in the new upload version my on new computer. Can firefox retrieve the old ones and send them to my new firefox start page?

Hi, you give us more power than we have. We can not do anything but provide you with information so you can do it.

If the bookmarks are on your other computer and you have a portable USB drive Export and save as HTML:

Do the opposite to import them.

Also used Flash, no idea...what your son did.. DO you mean Refresh ? If so the bookmarks are on your Desktop in a Folder called OldFirefoxData

You will find them in the Profile or the Folder in these files :

  • bookmarks and history: places.sqlite
  • bookmark backups: compressed .jsonlz4 JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder
