Firefox Quantum Update = Missing Descriptions

[newelljo]

Hello, I allowed the Firefox Quantum update to run yesterday and today discovered that all of my added Bookmark Description information is gone on every single bookmark I have. Years and years of information gone. I was able to add it back by using a recent recover date but still ... this shouldn't have happened in the first place.

You got lucky, the damn update erased my entire profile and i had no recent backup!
Last time i'm an early user!

Always backup! Either use Firefox Sync, or export settings/bookmarks once a month (or sooner if enough things change). Ya never know!

Move your description data elsewhere while you can. The plan is to either remove descriptions altogether or make them read-only (bug 1402890).

So a website can "pre-fill" Description: & if so (or if a user manually does so), then that is saved as part of the bookmark.
And their (well, one person's) intent is to make it so a user cannot manually add a Description:, much less edit (or delete) it.

Good add to that bug.
