I somehow go icloud on my Windows 8 PC and accidently merged bookmarks on all my ipads. Well, I deleted what my husbands Ipad didn't need and when I came down to use my PC, they were just like the ipad. There were some really important booksmarks on the PC that I need. Is there a backup anywhere on my PC that has the old bookmarks by any chance? I looked for the files that are in all the article, like the *.json file and something with the word lite in it and I can't locate them on this PC. (Windows 8 is relatively new to me).

hello demismom, you can go to firefox > bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import & backup > restore and select a backup from before the merge. this will replace all the current bookmarks with the ones from the backup.
