Bookmarks intact, but Bookmark Sidebar is empty. How to restore bookmark list in sidebar?

My bookmarks are intact in the Library window, but the Bookmark Sidebar is empty. I don't remember when or how it occurred. I would like to restore my bookmarks to the Sidebar location. Thank you.

I found that after Firefox v29, a LOT of my settings and 
add-ons were changed / reset. Try this; 
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
 While you are in safe mode; 
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. 
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''. 
Then check ALL of your settings. Browser and add-ons. Then restart.

FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your
extensions individually into installable .xpi files. 
It will also make backup of files that you choose. *

How to restore bookmarks bar

after an update on September 01, 2011 Bookmarks disappeared even though View->Toolbars->Bookmarks toolbar is checked. Also, it is impossible to add any new webpage to the bar. It just does not appear on the top.
I wonder how to make the Bookmarks bar visible again.

How to restore bookmarks prior to crash

Mazilla crashed yesterday. The bookmarks are no there. When I try to restore, the only dates available are 9/21 and 9/22. I need the back up from 9/20, or earlier

Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
There would normally 10 JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder. 
If you have less then check that Firefox didn't create a new profile at some time.

How to restore bookmarks after fully uninstalling?

Hello, I accidentally fully uninstalled my firefox and cleared all the settings but I forgot to backup my bookmarks. Can I recover my bookmarks? I need them cause lots of important materials for my work was bookmarked there. Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated. And I used Iobit Uninstaller in advanced mode to uninstall firefox. Please help.

Best is to first find and undelete the previous profile folder and then undelete the bookmarkbackups folder in it with the JSON backups (bookmarks-####-##-##.json)
If you can recover an uncorrupted JSON back then you can use it to restore the bookmarks.

How can I restore bookmarks?

I have hundreds of bookmarks which I've acquired over a number of years, most in folders on the bookmark bar on my iMac. I use Chrome as a browser. I also have a Nexus 7 and have an app called Chromesync, to sync the bookmarks from my iMac to my other devices. I synced bookmarks via the Nexus 7 a few days ago, and when I went into the bookmarks bar on my iMac (and also on my Macbook Pro) the folders showed in the bookmarks bar but they were all empty... absolutely NO bookmarks at all.
I back up with Time Machine once a day. I also have an additional external HD which backs up once a week. How can I restore my bookmarks from either of those backups?
Thanks.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I do have Time Machine backups and also a clone of my iMac HD on an external HD. I just don't know how to restore from them.
Thanks.

How to restore safari bookmarks after osi update

how to restore safari bookmarks after ios. update

The only way is to restore from a useful backup, if you have one.
If you sync the iPad to iTunes and use Time Machine regularly, you would likely have the appropriate backup to restore from. In that case:
Restore the iPad backup set from Time Machine from a date before you overwrote the bookmarks. The location of the backup is ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ (you can get to it by pressing Cmd+Shift+G in the Finder and entering this path).
Connect the iPad, run iTunes and restore from the backup.
If you use iCloud Backup, then you can restore from iCloud and choose which date's backup you'd like to restore from. You can check if you're using iCloud Backup by opening the Settings app on the iPad, then going to the iCloud submenu and looking at the status right below "Storage & Backup", where it would say "iCloud Backup is off." (or "iCloud Backup is on.", as the case may be).
In any case, keep in mind that restoring from a backup means you lose all application data changes after the date of the backup.

I cannot see the Organize bookmarks link in Bookmarks Tab, how to restore this

I am to export the bookmarks to an html file. But I am not able to view the organize bookmarks tab in the Bookmarks tab. How to restore this tab.

"Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.

Today all my Bookmarks disapeared from Safari, when i checked my iphone they were there and then went away the same happened on my ipad. Any ideas on how to restore?

Today all my BookMarks disappeared in Safari, when I checked my iphone I watched them disappear from there and the same on my iPad. I then thought why not check my Parallels side and Windows Explorer. They were there for a few seconds and then also gone. Any ideas on how to restore and stop this from happening again? My iCloud setting are set for Safari sync.

Then you have misunderstood what iCloud is.
First. It is not a back-up service. It is a sync service.
That distinction is very import. A back-up service would have backed-up your bookmarks but iCloud's function is to synchronize your data, in this case your bookmarks, to all your devices. A backup service, by it's very nature, would allow you to roll back to a previous version of your data or file. No such roll back function is present in iCloud's services.
For example, if you add a bookmark to Safari on your Mac that same bookmark will be added to all your other devices that are connected to your iCloud account. Also, if you delete a bookmark it will be deleted from all those devices.
iCloud does not make a distinction between deleting one or all of your bookmarks and it will do the same to all your devices. It does not know that was not your intention. That is why it is very important to have Backups and Apple makes it very easy using Time Machine and a simple hard drive connected to a computer.
Let's see if your bookmarks have actually been deleted or if there is another problem.
Your bookmarks are stored in a .plist file the following directory, ~/library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
To get to that directory go to the Finder, select the Go to Folder… menu item in the Go menu and enter ~/library/Safari/ in the field provided. There you will find the Bookmarks.plist file.
Select it and hit the space bar on your keyboard to see a preview of the files content. Does it still contain references to your bookmarks? If it does still contain references to your bookmarks then something else is going on and we'll have to find a different solution.
