[QUOTE="macgig, post: 1799962, member: 16298"] I do have backups of firefox I made with CCC. so I can go back to the old firefox version that worked fine. but it's old so I don't trust using it now that an update is out. updated to the new version today. I was able to get bookmarks back again, but none of the tips firefox mentioned on their site worked to get bookmarks working again. I created a new profile and that allowed bookmarks to work again, then I imported the bookmarks. of course I had to login to all my websites again manually.... that was lost also with the upgrade. so, before upgrading, choose Bookmarks> show all bookmarks > backup... (I even did Export to html) to have 2 backup copies. then upgrade your firefox versioin.... and if your bookmarks stopped working in the updated version, you can restore or import them to get them working again. (after creating a new profile) hope this helps someone else out... :) creating a new profile in firefox allowed me to import and get bookmarks working again. (so far so good anyways). [/QUOTE]
