Firefox bookmarks/toolbar deleted after software update for Microsoft
Firefox bookmarks and toolbar were deleted after a software update from my mac computer - an update from Microsoft - affecting word & firefox. The restore function within the bookmark section does not work - it shows the back ups but then states "unable to process the backup file"
