When I started up firefox, all of the bookmarks were missing. I've tried every single tip on all of the forums possible, nothing works. I have tried: - uninstalling and re-installing - making sure read-only is not on on the places.sqlite files - deleted the places.sqlite files and even localstore.rdf. - tried in safemode (firefox safe mode window doesn't even come up) - troubleshooted - reset firefox

Absolutely nothing works and all i want is to be able to bookmark again. I don't even care that i've lost all of my other bookmarks, I just want to be able to bookmark my links again!

Please help!

Chosen solution

Move the places.sqlite to another location (not copy) and restore bookmarks from a backup.

  1. Use one of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
    • Click the Firefox button to open the menu and click on Bookmarks.
    • Click the Bookmarks menu and click on Show All Bookmarks.
  2. At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
  3. Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
  4. In the new window that appears, click OK.
  5. Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.

For more information, see the Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer article. For other solutions, see the Recover lost or missing Bookmarks article.

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
