What do you mean by "backup copy"? Is that a copy of the whole .mozilla/firefox/hxwu63mv.default directory? Do you have a places.sqlite file in it? A couple of years ago when I was looking into backing up bookmarks I think I saw that they're in the places.sqlite file, not in bookmarks.html. > So, when in the browser itself, you go to Bookmarks/Show All > Bookmarks/Import and Backup/Restore ... > > there is nothing to restore from (no daily backups)? The json files in the bookmarkbackups directory should also contain backups. My directory has daily backups going back 10 days, and I don't recall changing anything, so it's probably the default. This might be slightly staler than the places.sqlite file, but not by more than a day. However, I think the places.sqlite file also contains browsing history (and maybe other stuff), in addition to bookmarks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
