How can I recover bookmarks and reading list?

Firefox crashed as soon as I tried to use it so I uninstalled it and installed it back again, but all the bookmarks and pages on my Reading List are gone. Is there a way to get them back?

Hello,
Sorry to hear that you lost what you wanted to keep a track of. Did you have Firefox sync on? With that you can be able to restore your bookmarks but apart from that it's impossible to my knowledge that you'll be able to restore deleted bookmarks.

Recovering bookmarks and reading list after upgrading to OS X Mavericks; no help from Time Machine

Hi,
I upgraded to OS 10.9 Mavericks today. Everything seems fine thus far, except for Safari's bookmarks and reading list. Bizarrely, ONE of my old bookmarks was left on the bookmarks bar, while all other bookmarks (except those pre-loaded by Apple) and the entire reading list are wiped.
I'm aware of the path for finding the plist (~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist) — however: Time Machine won't let me go back to before the OS X upgrade. The windows all backups before the upgrade are completely black. As far as I can tell, this goes for all files, not just those in the Library.
My browsing history was preserved. Also, I head iCloud enabled for Safari.
I'm stumped. Any suggestions?

While in Time Machine, press the key combination shift-command-C. The front window will show all mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and navigate to the files you want to restore.

How can I recover bookmarks and files that were lost when Firefox updated?

This morning, there was a message that firefox needed to be updated. Since I don't like (or use) Google Chrome or IE, I unchecked those options as part of the update. Once the update was completed, all of my bookmarks and folders were gone. Is there ANY way to either recover the missing items OR restore/roll back to the firefox browser I was already using?

Hi, first open bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup >Restore, and see if you have a backup there.
If not, please see - [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]], and [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

How can i get out the reading list???

how can i get out the reading list?

This really needs to be posted in the Safari forum but I will answer it here.
What do you mean by get out? You want to see the list? Clicking on the pair of glasses controls the display of the list. The glasses are in the gray bookmark bar. Click once to open and click again to close the reading list.

Safari 7 Bookmarks and Read List Not Synching with iCloud

Safari does not synch bookmarks or reading list with iCloud. Cloud tabs does work. Everything else works.
When I turn the sync setting on/off in iCloud (control panel) it asks me if I want to merge and I say yes each time. No change. I can add bookmarks normally.
I did the checklist Apple suggests - and made sure I was linked to teh right account, have internet access, ect... The only thing I can not confirm is port numbers - but this machine is at work, next to my other iMac that is working perfectly (on Mavs too)
So far I've done each of these 2-5 times each:
Restarted
Reset all in Safari Pref
Cleared all extensions
Unlinked my iCloud account in Control Panel>iCloud - Safari
Unlinked the entire account and deleted everything (3 times)
Deleted all traces of Safari; library, plsit, etc. (except the program - not allowed)
re-linked to Keychain (3 times)
Out of ideas
Any suggestions appreciated
Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks in advance

Having the same problem as you David, I've just about gone nuts trying to solve it but Bookmarks and Reading Lists are not syncing across my iPad Mini, iPhone and Mac. When I've dug into the console files on my Mac it's reporting that the SafariDAVClient is crashing like a fiend, seems to be trying to access a file that either doesn't exist or was moved o_O
Anyone have any ideas? I've also resorted to Apple's recommendations as well as to solutions posted around the forums, with no luck whatsoever. I've even edited and purged my bookmarks down to only the stuff I really think I should keep. Also tried to keep it empty and adding a fresh new bookmark. Nada...

Your bookmarks file may be corrupt. Navigate to /[UserName]/AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/[profile_name]. Either rename places.sqlite to places.sqlite.corrupt (or whatever) in case this isn't the problem, or delete places.sqlite. Start/Restart Firefox. The icons for sites that have a favicon should return after you visit each site.

How can I recover bookmarks?

When I turned on my IPad this am, all my bookmarks (except Google and the manual) were gone. How can I recover them? I had many sites marked, that are important to me.

Try this. Sometimes it works and it is harmless to try even if it doesn't work.
Quit Safari completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

IOS7 bookmarks and reading list won't delete

After update I cannot delete any bookmarks or reading list items. I swipe left and get the DELETE button, but nothing happens. The bookmark in the edit mode will return with no change, the reading list item is similar. No new reading list items can be added. I am on IOS 7.0.4
I've tried a hard restart, no change.

I used the following fix and it worked as described - basically you need to replace the file "bookmarks.db" with a clean, empty file.

How can I view the Firefox Reading List?

I am running Firefox on Android 2.3.4. I am reading about the Firefox "Reader Mode" [1], which states:
"By tapping the readinglist1 icon, you can add the current page to your reading list (a special folder in your bookmarks list)"
"Note: The reading list folder will not be shown until the first item is added to the list. If all the items in the list are removed, the reading list will be hidden again."
Once I add the current page to my reading list, the screen changes and I am presented with different navigation controls. From here, the documentation says that:
"By tapping the readinglist2 icon, you can display the reading list. "
I have several items in my Reading List. However, I can only see the 'readinglist2' icon when I am viewing a page which has been converted to the Reader Mode. If I browse my bookmarks I do not see a folder for the reading list.
How can I view the items which I added to my "Reading List"?

How can I merge bookmarks and saved passwords from two computers onto one computer?

Before I got rid of my old computer, I backed up my profile folder on a thumb drive. Then, I got a new computer and started customizing firefox, adding bookmarks and new saved passwords, without ever uploading my passwords and bookmarks from my old computer 's profile. How can I add the bookmarks from my old computer's profile folder onto my new computer's new firefox profile?

That is about saving your current bookmarks to an HTML file because you would lose those when you restore a JSON backup from the backup.
