After a recent crash, my bookmarks (and browsing history) are gone. When i attempt to restore the bookmarks from Bookmarks -> Show all bookmarks -> Import and backup -> Restore I get the "Unable to process the backup file" error message. I have deleted the places.sqlite and restarted Firefox, no difference. I have also checked the integrity of the places.sqlite and there is nothing wrong. i exported the bookmarks backup to HTML and attempted to import it... still doesn't work.

All book marks are still missing. Please help.

Try to create a new profile to test if your current profile is causing the problem.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Hi, please send the bp- along with the numbers :

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

  1. Enter about:crashes in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
  2. Copy the 5 most recent Report IDs that start with bp- and then go back to your forum question and paste those IDs into the "Post a Reply" box.

Note: If a recent Report ID does not start with bp- click on it to submit the report.

(Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the IDs. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like.)

Hi cor-el. I created a new profile and it does help. I am able to import my bookmarks into this new profile successfully. I attempted to use the old profile and import the bookmarks from the new profile without success, so it definitely something in the old profile.

I have managed to recover everything i needed to the new profile. Thanks for the help
