I lost all my bookmarks when I upgraded to 3.6.8 and Firefox was not at all helpful. How can I get my bookmarks back?

I tried the torbutton suggestion from firefox, but there was no torbutton or explanation of how to get one. I installed a torbutton and that did nothing. I am at a loss.

If you are on a Mac using OS X 10.4 go to your User/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/ folder and in one of the folders contained there should be a folder titled bookmarkbackups with one or more of Firefox's automatic backups.

But in order to save you a lot of headaches in the future, it would be a good idea to periodically Click on your Bookmarks Menu and select Organize Bookmarks... and then at the top of the Bookmarks window you should see a little Star with a drop down menu arrow. Click on that and then select Export, and you will then have a backup of your Bookmarks which you can import from here (the Star in the Bookmarks Folder) anytime you do an upgrade. It can also be imported into your Safari so you can use them in both browsers.
