This is my second install of Windows 10. It may be my last! On my first Windows 10 "upgrade", The install seemed to go OK, but when I clicked Thunderbird to open my emails, NONE of my archived email addresses/passwords and archived emails made the transition. That prompted my first recovery from Windows 10 shock. I did a image recovery and was back to Windows 7. After two weeks, I gave Windows 10 shot number 2. Using MozBackUp to create a fresh archive on a secondary HD seemed to solve that problem allowing me to import email accounts/passwords and emails. Emails up and running, I began the W10 exploration.
Firefox had been my browser of choice on W7. I looked at Edge but did not initially see an easy way to add bookmarks and passwords from FF so I continued my exploration using Firefox. After a W10 update/DEGRADE, every site on my Bookmark/Toolbar disappeared. No recovery is possible as dragging sites to that toolbar is now blocked. Opening my bookmarks folder shows it to be empty. I cannot bookmark sites anymore. Fortunately, my user names and passwords are still intact. Using a MozBackUp archive to recover my bookmarks also failed. I looked at Edge's imported from folder and it only showed 4 bookmarks from the FF installation file.
Where did my FF bookmarks go? How can I recover them? I depend on my bookmarks, especially those that I keep on the BM toolbar to function well on the internet. If Firefox Bookmarks cannot be recovered/used on W10, then I doubt that I will invest the required time and effort to build a usable Edge bookmark library. Nor will I keep W10 installed.
Can anyone point me to a solution. W8 came with a learning curve, but W10, so far, is not an improvement!
