I can't get the bookmarks and passwords

hi,

I’m using macOS 12.7.6 on a 2015 iMac and Tor Browser 15.0.7.

I can’t import Bookmans in either JSON or HTML format.

When you go to

Bookmarks > Organise Bookmarks > Restore > Choose a File

It is impossible to choose a file, as there is no option to select a json file.

The same applies when importing an HTML file.

As for passwords, after confirming the save, nothing appears on the Settings page, so it doesn’t work when you need it.

Merci,

Bertie,

PS : it’s french to english :frowning:

@PieroV FWIW it WORKSFORME on windows - haven’t tried my mac (which is Tahoe). Sierra is pretty old

à noter: la solution est à vos risque

Thanks for the suggestions.

I’d already tried suggestion 1.

Suggestion 2 is a bit of a muddle and isn’t really a step-by-step guide for beginners.

Regarding suggestion 3, the image was very helpful, but I got the following message on restarting:

Tos 01 2026-03-18

I followed the instructions on the page:

Find the folder with: about:support

delete the files favicons.sqlite-shm, favicons.sqlite-wal, places.sqlite-shm et places.sqlite-wal s’ils existent.

J’ai retrouvé mes bookmarks et j’ai pu inscrire un mot de passe. :slight_smile:

Si ça a marché avec 12.7.6, par contre en 26.3.1, les mots de passe sont toujours impossible à trouver. Pour les bookmarks, c’est bon.

I had a problem with 12.7.x this morning; the bookmarks had disappeared, but restarting the browser brought the bookmarks bar back. I’m waiting for the next update.

With 26.3.1, I had to go through the configuration process again. This is what it looks like now.

Have I done something wrong?

I should add that if I launch Tor Browser on macOS 12.7.X using the “Open at Startup” feature, the bookmarks bar doesn’t appear, and the “Organize Bookmarks” section is completely empty and unusable.

The same thing happens if I launch Tor Browser via an AppleScript.

I have to launch Tor Browser from the Dock to get Tor with the bookmarks and passwords :shushing_face:.

Furthermore, Tor no longer displays passwords or offers to save new ones.
