I uninstalled an old version of Firefox and it's deleted my bookmarks? :-(

Did you find two folders under \Profiles ?

sunni

Yes there's 2 folders under profiles with todays date

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.

Tried that santer but didn't work :-( the 2 folders show today's date?

OK then they are usually xxxxxxxxx.default and yyyyyyy.default one "should" have older bookmarks-yyy-mm-dd.json files they should be your old ones follow the import bit above using the oldest of them from before when you installed

Was there a tab with choose file?

You could try posting here

Quite common though

Avoid running any disc cleaners

Recuva may find something

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

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)

May be a bit late now but for the future try MozBackup.
