Hello,

Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.

1. Use one of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
   • Click the Firefox button to open the menu and click on Bookmarks.
   • Click the Bookmarks menu and click on Show All Bookmarks.
2. At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
3. Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
4. In the new window that appears, click OK.
5. Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.

For more information, see the Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer article. For other solutions, see the Recover lost or missing Bookmarks article.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Thank you.

Thank you for your answer, but my problem is not that bookmarks are lost.

The problem is that I have a big list of bookmarks with a bookmark folder hierarchy and Firefox does not remember the last view position of the bookmark side panel scroll bar. So I have to scroll down and manually search the position myself. I expect Firefox to display everything as it was at the time it was last closed. Opera did this just fine :(

Install the Classic Theme Restorer extension

I don't think that the scrolling position of the bookmarks sidebar is stored in the localstore.rdf file (doesn't work for me as well), so you can't keep that position across a session.

@cor-el: Thanks, this is really sad :(
