Restoring bookmarks in Firefox 3 and above
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Image:Library.png>
Starting in Firefox 3, you can replace your current bookmarks with a
backup copy by opening the Firefox Library window and using the
"Restore" feature ("Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks/(or Show All
Bookmarks)/-> Import and Backup -> Restore..." ). You can select one of
the five dated backups that Firefox automatically creates or you can use
the "Choose File..." option to select another bookmark backup file.
SeeBacking up and restoring bookmarks - Firefox
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox>for
more informartion. (If you see the error,/Unable to process the backup
file/, readthis
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_process_the_backup_file_-_Firefox>.)
The automatic bookmark backups that Firefox creates are located under
theFirefox profile folder
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox>, inside
thebookmarkbackups folder
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarkbackups_folder>. You can also create
your own bookmark backups, by using the "Import and Backup -> Backup..."
feature. All Firefox 3 bookmark backup files are stored in in JSON
format. Any bookmarks saved in HTML format (such asexported bookmarks
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Export_bookmarks>) must beimported (see
above)
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks#Importing_a_bookmark_backup_file>rather
than restored.[8] <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422919>
*Note:*You can also restore your bookmarks byexiting Firefox
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application>and removing
theplaces.sqlite <http://kb.mozillazine.org/Places.sqlite>file from the
Firefox profile folder. Firefox will rebuild the Places database from
the latest JSON backup or, if no JSON file is found, from
abookmarks.html <http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks.html>file, as
detailedhere
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_not_saved#places.sqlite_file>;
however, you will lose your browsing history.
*Note:*You can set Firefox to automatically export your bookmarks at
exit to theFirefox profile folder
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox>"bookmarks.html"
file by settingbrowser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML>to*true*but
this may delay browser shutdown if you have a large number of
bookmarks.[9
