I hav been getting nags from Firefox about "updating my obsolete version of Firefox. So I did. And all of my bookmarks disappeared.
Any advice on how to retrieve them? And no, Restore is no help. The update restarted my restore earliest date to after the update. Thanks, Mozilla.

I dumped firefox a while ago and have been using Brave.
I don’t have any probs with Brave, but I’m no expert either.

Try exporting them from any other browser you may use.

For what its worth..I have been nagged to update my Firefox for the last 6 months and I am on the current version. I would run a serious virus/malware scan if I were you.

Start over. I bet you don’t use two-thirds of them.

There should be a directory within your profile directory called Bookmarks. Look for a file called "bookmarks.html".
Or search you entire hard drive for "bookmarks.*"
You could also open your Show All Bookmarks and click 'restore' and see what shows up for files.

That happened to me about a year ago and I didn’t know how to fix it either,so I just let it go.
Don’t miss any of them.
