How To Restore Your Firefox Bookmarks
On my previous post, I showed you how to backup Firefox bookmarks and plugins, and now I’ll show you how you can restore and recover your Firefox bookmarks that has been deleted/removed due to some unfortunate events. Like what happened to me before, I accidentally uninstalled my Firefox and when I installed it again, the bookmarks are gone! I was really disappointed that day but fortunately, I found a way to restore my bookmarks.
How to restore Firefox bookmarks:
1. Open Firefox.
2. On the Menu bar, go to Bookmarks and click Organize Bookmarks.
3. A new window will pop-up. Click Import and Backup, hover over Restore and click Choose File.
4. Now we have to locate the bookmark backup (Firefox automatically backup your bookmarks). Double-click My Computer -> Local Disk (C:) -> Documents and Settings -> “user name with which you log into Windows” -> Application Data -> Mozilla -> Firefox -> Profiles
Example: C:\Documents and Settings\Christian\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
5. Inside the Profiles folders you should see a single directory or multiple directories if you are using multiple Firefox Profiles. Select your Default Firefox Directory.
Example: c5qmjibe.default
6. Inside this Directory you will see a folder called “bookmarkbackups” go into this folder. You will see a bunch of html files. These are the bookmarks that have been backup for the last five days by Firefox.
7. Select the file with the latest date. Click Open.
8. Restart Firefox.
You’re done!
