  Any chance that you made a backup of these data?

• Mozilla has suggested reset firefox to fix the slow and now all my favorites have disappeared.

  It took a while for firefox on startup when I clicked on the icon and then there was a message from mozilla/firefox suggest I have reset firefox and all my bookmarks, cookies, etc. would be saved. After the reset, I don't have 1 bookmark. So far, the only thing this computer recognize now is my sign-on so that I can ask this question.

• updated to 37.0.2 - and appears all my favorites have been deleted (Nothing in the toolbar now)

  Hello:

  I upgraded to 37.0.2 today. Fx reboot, I can't see any bookmarks. NO what so ever.
  My bookmarks bar was full.

  So I open the bookmarks in the menu bar top (view all bookmarks] and none show there either.)
  The bar watch bookmarks but not favourites. everything gone?

  Please see screenshot

  Thank you scribe_UK

  (1) I did as you suggested:
  First of all open the bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > restore and see if you have a backup there.

  (2) all the backups of my favorites are there. My Favorites get saved at shutdown fx, which i usually do daily or every 2 days. Then I copied the latest file on my hard drive. Then I restored it. Just in case something goes wrong.

  (3) it is the good news. The bad news
  > restoring crashed 3 times before it completely restored. When I say crashed... started giving errors js... so I waited and let the script raather than to stop it. After about an hour and a bit it finally done.
  > all bookmarks lost all their icons. So I loaded the fav icon reloader Add on. And it was refreshing icons. A took about 2 hours to refresh.

  so I'm now sorted from the point of view of bookmarks. But the upgrade to Fx always makes me nervous when things like this happen. Not pretty.

  Secondly, since the upgrade, Fx went back slow slow speed that it worked before as I have created a new installation new Yosemite as 5 cool months and there's profile. If something tells me the upgrade of fx is only as a last resort. Like I slow FX now, unless I want to spend even more time, you re-create the Fx profile.

  Thanks for your help.

• I've just updated to 13.0 and ALL my favorites have disappeared - how to bring them back?

  I've just updated to Firefox 13.0 (I use a MacBook OSX 10.5.8 running). She started very well, but my favorites are now gone. When I opened the menu bookmark is completely empty - as if I just started to use Firefox for the first time. Is there anyway to get back them? Or find a backup on my computer somewhere? (The last time that I exported backup was probably 6 months ago). Thank you!

• You're just past my firefox at 18.2, all my favorites have been removed, why

  At about 9:00 pm EST Firefox worked normally on my pc.

  At about 11: 30 a.m. et, I opened Firefox and got a Mozilla screen that says that the program has been changed.

  Now all my favorites have disappeared.

  Why

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

  You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

• 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.

• My thunderbird (windows 8) essentially has stopped working. More than one minute to open an email - all other functions have similar delays. What should I do?

  For some reason, thunderbird (windows 8) essentially has stopped working. More than one minute to open an email - all other functions have similar delays. I tried to archive, but I get a message that says that a script has stopped working. He does the same in thunderbird safe mode. My old computer (XP) works very well. I can't find my profiles on windows 8 to rebuild the database world.

  Follow-up: McAfee was the problem. I contacted them via chat. Remotely, they took control of my computer and changed the settings. TBird works fine now.

  Thank you for all your help.
