The Mozilla Firefox web browser is one of the best browsers for modern computers. It's fast, reliable, and not as gluttonous as Chrome in terms of RAM. In addition, the developers of this miracle completely abandoned the leaky and terribly outdated Adobe Flash Player plug-in, which also adds interest to the program. However, even this all-round positive browser is not immune to failures. And most often, with such unplanned crashes, the user's bookmarks, which he carefully saved up for months, suffer. The weakest point is the bookmarks in Mozilla. How to restore them in a couple of clicks? We'll talk about that.
A little about the browser

We follow the familiar path to the bookmark manager, then select "Import and backups" and click on the item "Restore backup from" - "Select file". Select our bookmark backup and press the OK button. All. Your bookmarks have been restored.
If the user did not create a backup
You can tell that this method only works if you have a bookmark backup file. But no! How to restore bookmarks in Mozilla without a backup? Browser developers have taken care ofcareless users.
