Hey, so the other day I go to click on the Dope from my bookmarks, and the whole tab is gone. I can’t find my bookmarks. Did I accidentally do something that disappeared them, or did an update put them somewhere else and I just don’t see it, or have I just completely lost my mind? Where my bookmarks at?? ---

I’m not sure what happened to your bookmarks but… If you “google” “where are my Firefox bookmarks” it will tell you where the backups are. They are under “my documents…” Then, in firefox, click on “bookmarks” show all bookmarks" then “import and backup.” Import the latest backup. That should do it. ---
