    What I just tried was open Firefox, click bookmarks, organise bookmarks, click the drop down arrow on the right of import and back up, click restore, click choose file.

    Browse to the app data folder and choose a file.

    When I click on those xxxxxxx and yyyyyyy default folders, it brings up bookmarkbackups folders - then the json file - but the only date on either is today :o

    Have too go out for a while... will try again when I'm back. Thanks :-)

    OK then will look out for you (is one a time before the install BTW inside the folder not the folder date/time)
