Anyone tried 'reset Firefox' and lost all their bookmarks?

There is a file called 'Old Firefox Data' saved to the desktop but the bookmark manager is 'unable to process the backup file'.

Anyway to force a sync restore? I am fuming.

EDIT: NVM. I manually copied places.sqlite from the above folder and all was well. It's supposed to do that for you!

Which edition/version of the dictionary are you using? I'm using the Marco Pinto edition which seems to be ok.

Yes I have the Macro Pinto version too, I think it is working now, so it might have just been the compatibility test.

Mozilla is planning to end full support for Adobe's Flash software in its Firefox browser from next month. In August, it will block the Flash-powered parts of webpages that were "not essential to the user experience". The browser developer said its action would mean webpages loaded more quickly and made crashes less likely.

In a blog post, Firefox developer Benjamin Smedberg said its first step would tackle the Flash-based parts of a webpage that users did not see. This includes files used to help with tracking and following which websites users visit, to aid advertising.

Many of these hidden functions can now be done using HTML - the language of the web - said Mr Smedberg.
Full details

So that's probably v48.0 scheduled for release on 2nd August.

Not sure what purpose it serves. I rarely even open it, but just tried it and I am getting 10 entries as you describe, but 7 are for pages I have not visited in months.

How do I find "Mix Max results"? It doesn't find anything when I type it in search.

Think the value you need to change is called browser.urlbar.maxRichResults.
