Did you restore last weeks ?

debitcardmayhem

Mind you I didn't ask you to are you sure you are not confusing xxxxx.default (for the previous version) and the yyyyy.default the new one which you have just installed?

sunni

Sorry if I'm confusing you, no I didn't do a system restore.

Earlier you said this:

ok in windows explorer go to
c:\Users\Sunni\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox

Now right click on Profiles ans select Properties
then select on the tab Previous Versions
What do you have there ? If there is one for yesterday/last week select open and write down the name of the xxxxxxx.default folder in there and then close the just opened window.

I wrote down the xxxxx default folder and then done what you said:

go to Firefox , Bookmarks/Show all bookmarks
Next select Import/Backup Restore Choose File
When it gives you the option to find the file , navigate to
c:\Users\Sunni\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Pro files\XXXXXXXXX.default\bookma
rkbackups\todaysdate.json
click open
say yes


In 'Previous Versions' tab it show's lots of dates. When I do what you said above it shows the xxxxxxx default folder for today's date and when I right click on open it say's too select and view your downloads??

debitcardmayhem

Perhaps it was me that confused you , so let's try again
ok in windows explorer go to
c:\Users\Sunni\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox

Now right click on Profiles and select Properties
then select the tab Previous Versions
Then highlight the Yesterday one(left click once) and select open
Then find the bookmarkbackup folder in that and find the latest .json one and right click on it and select Send To and Local Disk C:
When that is done then go back to Firefox and Bookmarks/Show all bookmarks
Next select Import/Backup .... Restore .... Choose File
When it gives you the option to find the file , navigate to C:
click once on bookmarks-xxxxxxx.json
click open
say yes

sunni

ok at this part: Then find the bookmarkbackup folder in that and find the latest .json one and right click on it and select Send To and Local Disk C:

Local Disk C: isn't an option?

OK right click on it and select copy
then close that window, go to windows explorer and go to c:\Users\Sunni\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox
then right click on profiles and select paste.
then go back to Firefox and Bookmarks/Show all bookmarks
Next select Import/Backup .... Restore .... Choose File
When it gives you the option to find the file , navigate to c:\Users\Sunni\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles
click once on bookmarks-xxxxxxx.json
click open
say yes
