I updated Firefox to the newest version and now I can't access all the bookmarks I've complied (ones I don't always use regularly but still need quick access to too).

How can I get these back into the updated version?

You should have done the sync of them so that you could have restore them any time.

All of the bookmarks should still be there. Look on your desktop. Is there a folder called Old Firefox?

Open your file browser to the profile folder. Look at them carefully. Is one of them dated the same day you upgraded?

Open the file browser / explorer on your computer. Note: You may have to enable Show Hidden Folders / Files. Enter this in the address bar;
