bookmark restore is crashing Firefox so need to export earlier backup and import to restore

Trying to sync my home and my work bookmarks.

Started at home but those are the ones I want to overwrite; I want the work ones to be the master set. When I realized I couldn't select which computer had the dominant set, I stopped and waited until I was at work.

Today, at work, I started again. Now the set on my work machine has been overwritten with the ones from home that I didn't want.

When I follow the "restore from backup procedure" the browser hangs up and I have to force quit Firefox.

If I can export an earlier backup, maybe I can import it and overwrite what's currently in place, unless you can suggest a way to keep Firefox from hanging every time.

thanks,

Marcus

Did you try to wait a bit longer to see if the restore finishes?

How long would you expect? I left it for 20 minutes and it was still spinning pizza when I came back.

There 1039 items in the bookmarks

It worked. I left it and went away for a while longer.

Thanks for your help.

You're welcome.

Over 20 minutes sounds like a rather long time.

How many bookmarks are in the backup according to its name?

  • bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD_<item-count>_<hash>.jsonlz4
