bookmark history not saved
I don't know what happened but all my bookmarks are gone. I went to restore and the 10-12 days Mozilla is suppose to save were not there. The only day showing up is the current day.
Any way to get these bookmarks back?

Is the bookmarkbackups folder entirely empty?
You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory:
Windows: Show Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder

Do you have an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop?
When you use the Firefox Refresh feature then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks and history, form data, tabs) is automatically imported. The current profile folder will be moved to an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop. Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.
It is possible to recover data from the "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
