Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks and saves the last five backups for safekeeping. This article describes how to manually back up your bookmarks and how to replace your bookmarks with a backup.

  • If your bookmarks suddenly become unavailable in Firefox, see Lost Bookmarks for troubleshooting information.
