Today I lost all of my Chrome bookmarks and now I am unable to recover it. Even after syncing it, it is not there.
Later I came to know that this is a major issue. See the link below

I suggest everyone to backup their chrome bookmarks. Syncing it doesn’t guarantee that it can be recovered.

So what’s the solution?

EDIT: used xmarks as recommended above by parthbhai. Hope it’s safe.

I had the same exp with FF too when I said YES for an update to latest version. After update I found no bookmarks.

Hope you already tried few recovery solutions from google search.

did you rule out any peculiarities or any crash or power outage events that might have interrupted or corrupted the installation or and switching off before the background processes are all done ?


I’ve used Netscape and subsequently Mozilla for nearly two decades and have gone through a lot of these scenarios (updates, roll-back. install, uninstall but do not remove saved data, testing products that are still under development versions.).

the bookmarks and other folders in the current versions of thunderbird or Mozilla or other builds are not actually impacted as such during an update or roll-back, so it is unlikely that a mere update would corrupt or remove them.

If you know the path to the installation of the earlier version, you might actually find the folder still there. (also, Mozilla ought to allow you to simple re-install the earlier version, if you have the installation or download it afresh and run it).
