Click Bookmarks/Organize Bookmarks/File/Import/From File, and surf to:
C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\5phazckt.default\bookmarkbackups

This has been an ongoing problem for some time. It seems that someone with that organization would make a patch for it.

randy ca

I have a manage bookmarks but I don't see file/Import/from file
in there. I hope their not gone forever. (sigh)

After you click Bookmarks/Organize Bookmarks,
you should be able to see import if you click file at the very top left.

Randy ca, ok I found it, after I click import what do I do? Sorry...Thanks

Sorry again, I will try and see what happens.

Do I look in Local Disk (C:)

Well, I did get my favorites from IE, but not from Mozilla. I had a ton of stuff there.

Do I look in Local Disk (C:)

Yes, Local Disk (C:), then Documents and Settings, then your User name, then Application Data, then Mozilla, then Firefox, then Profiles, then 5phazckt.default, then bookmarkbackups.

It will be like the path below,
C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\5phazckt.default\bookmarkbackups

randy_ca Went to profiles and this came up, leect531.default, there were no bookmark backups in there only something in wordpad, is that what you are talking about?
Thanks for being patient with me.

Your leect531.default is the same thing as my 5phazckt.default
There should be a bookmarkbackups folder. If not maybe they are gone.

(If not maybe they are gone.)

I think they are gone. I had so many things in there. Thanks for your help!

Adichristi, Try doing a system restore. Just go back to a date before you know you had your bookmarks.
hope this helps ya.

I got a new hard drive a couple of months ago and started over with firefox, including bookmarks. This morning I was googling a site I used to have bookmarked and couldn't find it. I did a start > search and put bookmarks in the search box. It fould lots of backups, one of which contained the bookmark I was looking for. I used it and found that the site had been removed so it didn't help me, except to let me know why google couldn't find it, but may help you.

I found some...

gipster, how do you do a system restore?

bob414, I did do what you said and the search showed a BAK File, but it opened in word pad. I clicked on another bookmarks from there and they came up on Microsoft IE. Thanks everyone for the help.
