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 Bookmarks button and select 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.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
When I click restore it only gives me the ones for 2/11. How can I change the date or what ever else might restore all that I had.
Clicking on "2/11" should recover all the bookmarks you had at that time. If there's only this one date, there are no more backups (if you didn't create one on your own).
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
