Ok, that is great (and what was to be expected). It tells you not to panic because something does not show up anymore :) > The email accounts didn't reappear so I'll have to sort that out tomorrow.

Your bookmarks are normally in the file places.sqlite that you can copy over from the old to the new profile, but they are also backed up regularly in a subfolder bookmarkbackups where you find several files from different dates, and you can import those in the program. > Thank you again and a big hug. > > A very grateful and relieved Connie in London > .
