CCleaner 7 deletes all firefox bookmarks

[reutershan]

CCleaner 7 deletes all firefox bookmarks! How do I get them back and how can I get CCleaner to omit deletion?

In addition, CCleaner says it is busy after one check. I can’t run CCeaner a secons time unless I reboot Windows!

Thanks!

Same, it even deleted the backups, so I cannot even roll back! I had thousands of bookmarks! I only had download history, cookies and internet cache marked! How did it touch my bookmarks?? It never did before!
Someone tell me I can do a rollback on this, please! I’m close to a panic attack.

You can go back to 6.39 by following the steps here (click on link which says ‘how to roll back from v7 to v6.39’)

How to Roll Back from v7 to v6.39

We now have numerous posts from users dissapointed with the new v7 and asking if/how they can roll back to v6.39. Whilst normally I would say that you should use the latest version that works on your machine I also believe that you should have the choice to roll back from a major feature update. Particularly if/when that update is flawed. So here is how to do it using the official v6.39 installer. Uninstall CCleaner v7. “Restart” your computer. Download a v6.39 installer here: https://…

has anyone tested this with the recent update 7.10.1042.0? To be honest, I’m afraid to test it.

make a backup of your firefox profile folder (right click copy. paste to desktop/documents/wherever-you-please ) run CCleaner’s firefox clean (with bookmark backup not marked) see if borked . if so delete or overwrite the profile folder with the copied folder.

I’d test but they removed custom location for browsers and mine is in a non default location (portable).
