Thank you for detailed instructions, that was a good idea but I'm puzzled and surprised by the result. I created two new profiles: salvage1 (new) salvage2 (new) test (this profile is damaged) Originally started profile salvage1, salvage2 to create all the necessary files. I've copied all the files from: .mozilla/firefox/tscsip8f.test/ (not sub-folders) to: salvage1 profile, indeed something is dammage CPU goes 100% Deleted "salvage1" and recreated it. Now, I copied files "one by one" from test profile to salvage1 and started "salvage1" every time to make sure it work. At the same time I copied the same file from "test" to "salvage2" (without starting "salvage2"); I was only starting "salvege1" after each file I copied. I finished copping all the file from test "one-by-one" starting the profile "salvage1" and it worked but when I started profile "salvage2" the CPU when 100%. So it seems to me every time I was restarting profile "salvage1" Firefox was correcting the error some how. Though, I can not import the bookmarks, I'm on Firefox-bin-38.3.0 There is no entry: Bookmarks ==> Manage Bookmarks I have: Bookmarks ==> Show All Bookmarks where I can restore and backup bookmars. I've tried to restore bookmarks from file: bookmarks-2015-11-12.json but I'm getting an error message: "Unable to process the backup file." -- Thelma

If you wanna do that, I can provide a macro file for nedit, an old but great text editor. With this macro it will be easy to extract the URLs from the bookmarks file. Of course you have to insert every extracted URL into firefox and bookmark it. But I think this is better than to loose the bookmarks. I'm sure that this also can be done by a shell script but my knowledge of bash programming isn't good enough to write such a script. If you wanna do this, install app-editors/nedit and give me a hint. Then I'll post the macro and give you instructions how to load and execute the macro with nedit. -- Regards wabe
