Bookmarks issue

Post by ashanta »

Dear,

Every week or more, I noticed that I lose a few bookmarks from Firefox. This is not new issue as I got this since more than a year. This is fastidious when you save important links.
Is there something that I need to check on the settings ? Thank you.

History, should purge itself, periodically (I suppose on a rolling basis).

Bookmarks, should not.
No clue as to why they might?

Private Browsing?
Check your Profile folder for anything odd?

I don't have any clue, sorry.

No, I'm not in Private Browsing.

What to check in the Private folder ?

Check in the "Other Bookmarks" location in your Bookmarks.

This is not a matter of an older version. I also tried with newer version. It's not matter of others bookmarks, I know all my bookmarks folders.

I think maybe it could be an addon like 'Show Parent Folder'.

Who can give me a key ?

could be an addon like
Disable & test. (Maybe it would be enough to set date ahead by a week?)

Or test in a new, clean Profile with only places.sqlite (bookmarks & such) copied over into it.

I tried with another similar addon Go Parent folder. I still notice that bookmarks disappeared.

Is there a limited number for bookmarks in a folder ?
My places.sqlite size is 80 Mb, maybe to big ?
