Lost all my bookmarks. According to Mozilla Health Check I got 58 (thought it was more). How to I get them back? Tried to follow your notes but got nowhere.
I have iMac upgraded to Snow Leopard. 30/7/13 obliged to reboot my computer and when it restarted found I was upgrading to Firefox version 22. Lost all my bookmarks. Understand bookmarks are in profiles/places.sqlite. Upgraded to version 23 on 7th Aug. and repeated attempts to restore bookmarks have failed.

Regret I did not understand that program at all, so it meant nothing to me The problem still persists. If Mozilla Health Check says I got 58 bookmarks - where are they? Regards Barrie39
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

If you are using the Time Machine then you can try to restore an older copy of places.sqlite
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
