Hi,

I can't restore the bookmark backup that I made (.json) via the Library (as instructed below), instead I got an error message: unable to process the backup file.

Result: the bookmark bar is empty, so as the ones from the bookmark menu. I re-installed the browser but still got the same result, it was fine a few days ago after I updated my firefox.

Please help. Thanks

That indicates the file that stores bookmarks is damaged. For details of how to fix that see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_process_the_backup_file_-_Firefox

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try this one out, hopefully this will fix/retrieve my bookmarks.
