I took some time to get ASVG Nation toolbar removed. Directly after that I got notification the Google/Firefox combination I had been using for yonks was incompatible so removed Google and now have no old bookmarks. I was hoping Firefox had a back-up copy.

Hello,

Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. Assuming the toolbar didn't hijack the bookmarks function, you will be able to recover them in the Bookmarks Library window:

  1. Click the Bookmarks button Bookmarks-29 (or the Bookmark menu) and select Show All Bookmarks.
    • First, can you check your Unsorted Bookmarks to see if they ended up there? If there are no bookmarks there either, then continue on.
  2. At the top of the Library window, click on Import and Backup and select Restore.
  3. Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
  4. In the new window that appears, click OK.
  5. Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.

For more information, see the Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer article. For other solutions, see the Recover lost or missing Bookmarks article.

Thanks CoryMH for the info. Due no doubt to my age I had forgotten I was mostly changing things as an Administrator and so my bookmarks had remained intact in my User's account . So, no fool like an old fool ...
