All Firefox bookmarks deleted Solved

Question

Hello,  I'm in deep trouble.  Last night I cleaned my computer following the advice in the "my PC is slow, what to do?" section.  However, I did not delete the restore points.  This morning I had lost my 200 addresses collected over a year of hard work and neatly organized in the Firefox bookmarks.  No problem, I told myself, I'll restore it.  Horror, everything had disappeared....  Thank you to anyone who can guide me in restoring this bookmark or at least in recovering the restore points.  Thank you

in the same path:  C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ygfpv9i0.default  you should have a folder named bookmarkbackups. inside it is usually the backup of your bookmarks.  By opening firefox, bookmarks, manage bookmarks you should be able to use it to restore your bookmarks. -- Knowledge is only wealth if it is shared

All your Firefox cache has been erased after following the instructions of "my PC is slow... what to do?" You should never embark on cleanups or other suggestions, even if there is a tutorial, without first knowing what will happen. Unfortunately, I think that this cache is permanently erased, even with a system restore.

Thank you for your response.  However, I just launched Tune Up Utility and especially its tool "TuneUp Undelete" which just recovered 15,960 deleted files in good condition for the most part, some of which date back to 2006.  What would be the name of this "cache"?

Hello.  The name of the file where the Firefox bookmarks are stored is called bookmarks.html.  See you later! -- Knowledge is only wealth if it is shared.

Thank you... Do you happen to know the way?? Because it seems to me that I restored a beast like that and maybe my "fire fox" doesn't know how to open it anymore??

Here’s some good news!  But why do you want to restore your system restore points?  Everything is back to normal, right? -- Knowledge is only wealth if it is shared.

Curiosity is a bad flaw;-)  I'm joking, of course. But I don't know if it's worth knowing what really happened.  Moreover, if we try to figure out the why and how, I'm afraid it will take us a lot of time.  See you later -- Knowledge is only wealth if it is shared.

blondin777 · Answer

I don't see what you call the Firefox error console.  Can you clarify?  -- Knowledge is only wealth if it is shared.

I don't have it at home because I'm still on version 1.5.0.10.  Have your problems not occurred since you upgraded to version 2.0.0.2?  -- Knowledge is only wealth if it is shared.

blondin777 · Answer

I'm saying this because you wouldn't be the first person to encounter problems since the install of version 2.0.0.2 of Firefox.  Otherwise, I don't really see what it could be.  See you later -- Knowledge is only wealth if it is shared.

Hello, I have the same problem; bookmarks were deleted after the Firefox update, installation of version 2. But when I explore Firefox, I can't find the Profiles folder or any username, so I don't have any saved data! I have reinstalled some bookmarks from memory, but if they are saved somewhere, I would really like to find them!

You need to "unhide the hidden files"! Let me explain, go to "My Computer", "Tools", "Folder Options...", then the "View" tab and finally check the box "Show hidden files and folders". There you go, and after that it should work.. good luck! I have a problem too, I've lost my bookmarks but since then I've changed bookmarks twice SUMMARY: my old bookmarks that I want are no longer in bookmarks backup so I don't know if there's a remedy See you later!

I read your email because I have the same problem with the erased bookmark, and after applying data, I couldn't see the rest of what you said. Can you tell me more? Thank you.

This inconvenience may have happened to you one day. Following a crash of the Firefox browser, all bookmarks (the equivalent of favorites in Internet Explorer) disappeared. As a result, unless you know all the addresses of your favorite websites by heart, you had to search for the pages one by one and re-save them again. To prevent this eventuality, there is a rather simple solution that consists of backing up these bookmarks.

1. RECOVER
First, launch the Firefox software. Then expand the "Bookmarks" menu and select "Show All Bookmarks."

On the new page that appears, expand the "File" menu and select "Import."

Then you just need to search on your PC for a tool called bookmarks, and then click on it. There you go.

Your bookmarks will now be

2. The second step is to back them up.

First, launch the Firefox software. Then expand the "Bookmarks" menu and select "Show All Bookmarks."

On the new page that appears, expand the "File" menu and select "Export."

And place it wherever you want.
