The user may need to restore visual bookmarks of the browser in use after an unsuccessful application update or a system reboot failure. The operation does not require the involvement of additional software and is carried out using standard Windows OS tools.
Instructions
Step 1
Call the main system menu by clicking the "Start" button and go to the "All Programs" item. Start the browser you are using and open the "Bookmarks" menu of the upper service panel of the application window. Select Show All Bookmarks or use the Ctrl, Shift and B functional keys combination. This action will open the Bookmarks Library dialog box containing the necessary recovery tools.
Step 2
Select the "Import and Backup" section and expand the "Restore" link. The suggested recovery options are usually:
- recovery from an archive copy;
- recovery from a file.
Select the file you want. If the bookmark directory is not displayed, expand the Select File link and specify the full path to the required file. Close the bookmark library dialog box. Please note that the application backs up your browser bookmarks once a day. Save the changes, confirming the replacement of the existing visual bookmarks with those saved in the backup copy, in the system prompt window that opens.
Step 3
An alternative method for restoring browser visual bookmarks is to import them from an HTML file. To do this, go back to the "Import and Checkout" section and use the "Import from HTML" link. It should be borne in mind that this method will only help if the visual bookmarks are saved in HTML format in a separate file and cannot be used in case of system crashes.
Step 4
Open the "Settings" menu of the upper service panel of the browser window and select the "Advanced" item. Apply the check box in the line "Show visual bookmarks when opening a new tab or window" and save the changes by clicking OK. Select the "Extensions" tab in the dialog box that opens and find the line of the required plugin. This action should restore visual browser bookmarks.
