  Sorry, you have problems with Firefox and your bookmarks.

  I can assure you that Firefox is not supposed to lose bookmarks when it updates. I can also say with confidence that most of the users do not lose bookmarks in Firefox updates. I certainly have not.

  Have you tried to restore the favicons with the extension of CheckPlaces?

  • CheckPlaces: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/checkplaces/

• As soon as I opened the Firefox Start Page, all my favorites have been posted on the left side. I accidentally hit something, and now all my favorites have disappeared. Help.

  As soon as I opened the Firefox Start Page, all my favorites have been posted on the left side. I accidentally hit something, and now all my favorites have disappeared.

  For your safety, you must do a lot of software updates. You may be holding back for some reason any. Let us know what it is because there may be a fix or workaround now.

  To update to the 19 of Firefox, you can use the "Check for updates" button here:

  Menu help > about Firefox

  To update your Adobe PDF and Shockwave Flash plugins and check for other obsolete plugins, you can use this page:

  https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/pluginCheck/

  I know it's tedious, but don't let slip too long or you might get up to have to rebuild everything (the curse of your lack of backups, and if you do regular backups).

• I use firefox 16 on windows 7 with Xmarks and now all of my favorites have disappeared.

  I recently started using Xmarks with Firefox 16 on Windows 7 platform. I got some kind of error message (I think only of Xmarks) about "bookmarks". I clicked on the message to solve the problem and zapp all my favorites have disappeared. I found my profile "bookmarksbackup" file but can not open it. I guess I need a JSON Viewer. I downloaded an opensource Viewer that looked good, but still not get anything that looks remotely to my old favorites. I thought I might be the victim of a virus, but I'm probably just the victim of my ignorance.

  In addition, if the bookmarksbackup files folder it contains, you can try to restore one of it via Firefox Bookmarks (Alt + B) > show all bookmarks > import and backup. See also this.

  Alternatively, you can also check your account of Xmarks for bookmarks. If it had been transferred successfully in the past, you can install Xmarks, connect to Xmarks Firefox, and then download the backup.

• Bookmarks have disappeared on two machine unable to restore from backup folder in Firefox. How can I restore my favorites?

  All my favorites have disappeared on both machines. I tried to use the restore function it wasn't working, and I tried to update my Plugins and for some reason any Firefox would not record updates. How can I restore my favorites?

  Problems with bookmarks and history does not properly can be caused by a corrupted database places.sqlite file.

• Some favorites have disappeared from my bookmarks bar (after the update?)

  Basically, the question says it all.

  All of a sudden a lot of my favorites have disappeared from my bookmarks bar. I can't find them anywhere.

  I used to have many of them, some in directories/folders, some 'free' - but never more than two branches down.

  If you open the dialog box (Ctrl + Shift + b) library and explore there, can you find in a strange place?

  If they're really gone, it is possible that the database file that stores the bookmarks and history is corrupted. COR - el has a few suggestions for it here: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/956965#answer-428511

  Alternatively, you can immediately make a backup copy of your folder bookmarkbackups. This folder can be placed using:

  Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.

  I suggest you copy (not move, simply copy) the folder bookmarkbackups set to another location, such as your Documents or a USB flash drive. In this way time passes, you will always have older backups to restore if necessary.

• Some of the icons in front of my favorites have disappeared. HUH?

  Some of the icons in front of my favorites have disappeared. Others are still there. What can I do to get back them?

  Try to restore with this extension:

  • CheckPlaces: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/checkplaces/

  If this does not help then it is possible that there is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/bookmarks+not+saved#w_places-database-file

  You must use CheckPlaces once after you remove files in places.

  Hi guys,.
  I also experienced this problem and based on the previous explanation in one of the threads here I got the following article - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_process_the_backup_file_-_Firefox

  I myself have deleted only the file places.sqlite and places.sqlite.corrupt from the profile directory and was able to import my favorites since the backup file successfully.
