Lost all my bookmarks in safari (fixed)

When I last looked (Dec 23), all my many bookmarks were in Safari. I looked this morning, and they're all gone
I checked on my iPhone and that's the same -
FIXED IT
I ended up restoring from a Christmas Day backup of my iPad.....a rather convoluted way to do it as I had to completely reset my iPad which means I have to reinstall all my apps (it'll do it automatically, but it's a long process). Would be SO much better if you could choose what you want to be restored from iCloud.
But it restored all my safari bookmarks on the iPad, which then filtered down to my mac and iPhone.
PHEW!!!

I upgraded to iOS 6.1.3 and have lost all my bookmarks in Safari

I upgraded to iOS 6.1.3 a few days ago and all of my bookmarks have disappeared. They were there this morning & this afternoon, but when I went and tried to access a bookmark, there were none. Why would they have disappeared and why now?

When I bring up my Mozillafirefox, all I get is a window with a blank white screen, (and the firefox logo). (After using Firefox very happily for over a year, I had to 'reinstall' Firefox 3.66 about a month and a half ago, (and lost all my bookmarks as a result therein), and hope I can get my firefox back this time without having to reinstall. Mozilla Firefox is still listed as one of my active programs). HELP! Is there a way to get my firefox back without reinstalling? Many thanks!

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.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Clarification:
I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

I lost all my bookmarks on my iPhone running IOS 6

This morning, I lost all my Bookmarks on my iPhone 5 running IOS 6. Bookmark folders are still there, but they are empty

The places.sqlite file stores the bookmarks and the history, so if you replace the current version with another copy then you lose all current bookmarks and history.
I don't know why you did restore that copy.
You can restore the bookmarks via one of the backups in the bookmarkbackups folder, but that will replace all the current bookmarks as well.
If you need to keep some then remove the others and export the bookmarks to an HTML file.
Then you can import this HTML file to merge those bookmarks.

I've lost all my bookmarks when I updated to FF7. This is a disaster! ! ! ! When will I be able to use my Yahoo bookmarks again? ? ?

There are no more detail. I just lost all my bookmarks. I want them back ! ! ! !

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

After updating to ios 6 all my bookmarks in safari disappeared!

After updating to ios 6 on my iphone 4 all my bookmarks in safari disappeared (in addition my earlier problem with access to my inbox!!). Why does this happen and is there any way to restore them? (And why should I have to spend my time solving problems caused by Apple when I payed that much for my phone???)

I now realise that there is no option to add bookmarks in my safari! Seems I have look for a nuce Android tomorrow! Sorry about the whining but I get so frustrated!

Today withI have lost all my bookmarks passwords profile after Firefox updated to the newest versionout asking me first

I have lost all my bookmarks passwords profile etc after Firefox updated to the newest version today without asking me first. I liked what I had & several times a day it would say there are updates but I closed those popups or messages. Im now using the latest version just so I can have some use while I try to sort this out & get help.

I'm adding that I tried system restore several times .... & my last full backup.... but each time something was corrupted or would not launch or there was no '''.exe '''file in the program folder...Ive never seen this before, & the Mozilla backup I had was useless... it was unable to launch either

Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) is an old version of Linux from 2009. You're gonna need to upgrade to a newer operating system to use a more recent version of Firefox.
My advice is to consult with the Ubuntu support forums to find out if your PC can support the latest version of Ubuntu, or if you should switch to a different "flavor" of Linux.

I had to re-install firefox recently and lost all my bookmarks and passwords, how do I retrieve them? I have already saved them as an html file on my desktop.

I've been having problems with my computer, and had to delete Firefox entirely several times. I don't believe it was your browser that was the problem, though now I have lost all my saved bookmarks. I did export them to IE as an HTML file, which I still have on my desktop. I am now in the painful process of remembering and resetting passwords that Firefox remembered when I had it originally installed (I am back at ground zero with the browser now).

Please read this article about restoring bookmarks:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks
As far as your passwords are concerned, I don't think there's anything you can do. But for the future, you can use the following add-ons to avoid any future loss:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2848/
or
http://www.xmarks.com/
Both are good.
And a simple way to import your bookmarks (since you already saved it on your desktop as html) is:
Bookmarks / Organized Bookmarks / Import and Export
Good luck.

I lost all my bookmarks, at my clinic, in the process of updating to 3.6. What to do?

''Duplicate post, continue here - [/questions/770615]''
I am not sure exactly what happened. Logged onto my computer and was greeted by a menu prompting me to download Firefox, as an alternative to Internet Explorer. I had always used Firefox before this event ... I am not sure which version ... and had accu,ulated a number of vital bookmarks. I was next informed of a recommendation to upgrade to the latest version (3.6), and naively did so without saving existing bookmarks. The download was successful, but ALL existing bookmarks were lost. Solutions made available at the HELP section do not apply.

Is it the [[lost bookmarks]] article that you are referring to in the help section?
If it is that article, why do you believe the solutions there do not apply?
