i went away on vacation for 2 and a half weeks and when i turned my computer when i came home on it had said firefox was updated. ive had it updated before and never had any problems, but this time it deleted all my bookmarks. can anyone tell me how to get them back, as simply as possible please? ive tried the restore option in the library but it always says 'unable to process the backup file.'

- First show the hidden files and folders:
- Then go to:
- Windows Vista/7:
- <drive>:\Users\<nome-do-usuario>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile-folder>
- Windows XP:
- <drive>:\Documents and Settings\<nome-de-usuario>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>
- Linux:
- ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile folder>
- Mac:
- ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile folder>
- ~/Library/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/<profile folder>
- Windows Vista/7:
- Enter in your profile folder (click on the profile with default in the name) , then enter in the bookmarkbackups folder.
- Ex: a3by8w92.default-1393815348181
- Copy the most recent .json file(bookmarks backup).
- Ex: bookmarks-2014-05-19_30.json
- Then restore from them:
Did you find an "Old Firefox Data" folder on your desktop? If so, please hang on to that for potential additional data recovery options.
These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
