Thanks to both of you. I sort of did what Arthur suggested. The restore of the backup did not put Firefox back in the system for some reason but all the information was there in the backup. I could see all the files and the backup of bookmarks etc using windows explorer. However when I went into the new Firefox to import the bookmarks and passwords from the backup drive it did not show any files (yes they are hidden but I do have show hidden files on) yet they were all there in Windows Explorer. So I switched to load bookmarks from a file and nothing. So I copied the relevant folder to the desktop and then all of a sudden it all worked - bookmarks back but only 9 out of 10 passwords but I am slowly working through that.
The issue remains though - a lot of this would be unnecessary if a simple good old restore point could be created like was available in the good old XP days.
Oh Arthur - I don't know anything about Firefox 90 being a Beta version - up to now it was auto update - well that is now turned off and no updates unless I have researched issues first.
Thanks
Garry
