Bookmarks recovery
Hello,
I had to make a system reset (Windows 11) on June 14 and lost all my bookmarks. Is there a way to recover a version of my bookmarks of prior to June 14?
Grateful for your help. Kind regards, Wolfgang Bauer [removed email from public forum]

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.
- Click the Library button , then click Bookmarks.
- Scroll to the bottom and click Show All Bookmarks.
- At the top of the Library window, click on Import and Backup and select Restore.
- Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
- In the new window that appears, click OK.
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.

Thank you.
You can check if you have a C:\Windows.old folder with your Firefox profile data.
You can copy certain files with Firefox closed from a backup to the current profile folder to recover your personal data. Note that best is to avoid restoring a full profile folder and only restore important files that are safe to restore/transfer.
