Lost FireFox Bookmarks
Not sure what happened, but yesterday, I clicked on Firefox and it opened without any bookmarks. I tried to restore, and refresh, but no good. The profile is in C:/users/rich/appdata/roam ing/mozill a/firefox/ profiles. and there are 3 profiles there. I took one profile and copied it into the folder, No good. Uninstalled and reinstalled and still no good. I did a restore point, for 3 different dates, No Good. Good says that the book marks are in places.sqlite. This file is 10,240KB.

Is there not a way of exporting that file into something like MS Access or MS Excell and then importing it back into Firefox? Really frustrated that I lost all those book marks. And yes I did try to go to a back up but it doesn't work either.
More ideas??? thanks in advance.
