-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Buster, Firefox-esr, apt says there's nothing to update. Where does Firefox store the bookmarks? I had to re-install yesterday, and everything seems to be working. Except my years of web bookmarks are gone. And I can't tell where they are in the backups so I can put them back. I put last week's .mozilla in my home dir, nothing. I grep'ed the .mozilla/firefox files for text that was in one of them, nope. I searched the web and got lots of hits, but they're all about restoring from a fully working browser. Thoughts?

Been there before? I bet you've got a new profile, thanks to Mozilla continuing the war on their own users. Look in ~/.mozilla/firefox for strangely named directories. Start firefox with -P to use the profile manager. You may or may not be able to go back to the old one. -dsr-
