  • 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?

    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??

    c:\Users\Sunni\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox

    Now right click on Profiles and select Properties
