Re: How to recover bookmarks pages of the browser?

You can set your browsers, Firefox and Palemoon, to save bookmarks out of the sandbox while running sandboxed. Tick "Allow direct access to Firefox bookmarks and history database" and "Allow direct access to Palemoon bookmarks and history database"

You can set that up in Sandboxie control>Sandbox>DefaultBox>Sandbox settings>Applications>Web browser>Firefox, you ll find the one for Palemoon a little bit below the one for Firefox.

I have checked off the "Allow direct ahttp://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?HelpTopicsccess to entire Firefox profile folder" but Sandboxie not only doesn't recover outside but when I do a manual recover what it puts in the profile folder is somehow corrupted. I did a recover and deleted my sandbox then when I opened the browser (via Sandbox or not) it opened w/o any bookmarks. I then tried to manually import a .jsonlz4 file from the bookmarks backup folder from a few weeks prior but it showed up with nothing. I had to take the places.sqlite file from a previous profile (outside SB) in order to get back a previous version. I made the mistake of not exporting to an html beforehand. I had confidence that either my profile data was already saved outside SB or that recovering it would work. In the past recovering did work. The only thing I can think of is that I initially chose to have all the profiles recovered and then hit cancel. I then picked just the one I wanted. That should not have corrupted the files (nor did Firefox ever rename them as corrupt as it supposedly does) but considering Firefox never did any automatic bookmark backups either, I am starting to wonder if something else is going on.
