My current fox got borked by Flash. Despite serious repair efforts to correct the problem.....so far no go, so I reverted to my last good Fox backup (maybe 2 months old).
However I'm having a difficult time bringing my current bookmarks to my 2 month old backup. Both versions have 'Bookmark Backup' extension installed if it will be of any help.

If the backup is a working copy, cant you just copy the bookmark file over? Or do an export/import via html.
(I dont know how the extension works)

Copy places.sqlite to the backup.
Thanks
To avoid this kind of problem I've use Chuck Bakers Firefox Environment Backup Extension (FEBE) for a while now http://softwarebychuck.com/febe/febe.html
This addon restores bookmarks from json or html files & many other FF settings very easily - and I make a zip file of the files it creates which I backup on other flash drives/memory cards -- hasn't failed me yet
have never tried the bookmark backup extension you mention myself
I have roughly around 200 bookmarks on Firefox however if I want to add another bookmark the browser will not allow this? In an attempt to correct this fault I have copied all my existing bookmarks and saved them to my desktop. I have now tried to delete all my bookmarks in Firefox but even though I click on the delete button nothing happens. I need to be able to use the bookmark facility so what I the best way to get it working again?
Many thanks.
