[How to restore bookmarks]

If you unluckily lose bookmarks, you can try to restore the bookmarks by using the backup file.

1. Open Maxthon 6 browser.

2. Open the installation path, for example, D:\Users\lenovo\AppData\Local\Maxthon\

3. Open the folder "User Data" under the folder "Maxthon"

3. Find the account folder you'd like to restore data, such as "Default"

4. Under the folder "Default," you can find and open the folder "Backups" > "BookMarks"

5. Choose a backup file, copy it, then paste it to your account folder, such as "Default"

7. Rename the backup file as "Bookmarks," no file suffix required; delete the previous file "Bookmarks."

Thanks, so far it worked for me (unless I lost the most updated bookmarks of my other computer now... which I haven't checked yet). 
Just a few comments:

I found the backup in a different root than you stated, I think you forgot to mention "Application": 
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Maxthon\Application\User Data\Default\Backups

Also, maybe add an step 8 to restart the browser, as that proved to be necessary to me

[How to add the custom search engine]

@BugSir006 in the URL you have the ffollowing option: 

 

Which you could include into this guide (I think it is easier do achieve in 2 clicks rather than: 

1On the top right, click the browser menu (Alt+F) > Settings > General > Default engine > Manage engines > Add search engine 

However at the moment I think it is broken because it redirects me to the Tabs submenu, instead of the edit search engines one. 

[[Breaking] Now, you can send tips to reward the good post]

 I tried several times but I don't manage.
I sign up, I receive the mail with the code, I input it and then when it goes to the screen asking for my user and password it just doesn't work...

The status bar, together with the lack of Download Manager (to allow me to "open" files instead of "saving" them), are the main reasons I'm still using MX5 (and have never gone to Chrome even when MX5 became so obviously obsolete).

No offense, just out of curiosity:  what does make MX5 feel obsolete? 
I am as well still using MX5 until MX6 has a the Maxnote back to how it was in MX5;   however I don't see any lack in MX5?

Internal Google translator is gone forever? RIP? Jeff, WTF is going on? You are destroying Chrome functionality. What for?

Well, I guess that they had to choose 
Internal features vs External Features. 

I was very happy with MX5 and all its features , and I didn't need anything else. But I saw the community asking a number of times for support of Chrome extensions. 

So that's where Maxthon put the focus on. Now if you support an extension for translation it doesn't make sense to also develop an internal one. 
I agree with you , I liked more the internal translation tool MX5 had, but the Google Translator plugin is not that bad... and I understand they don't take the effort to do it again.

Can't change Google search engine from Hong Kong version (You could change this before)

why cannot you? 
The UI is not very intuitive there and at first I also thought I couldn't change it  but at the end I managed.

in MX5 it was the following:
i open some number of tabs (let's name them #1, #2, #3 for example).
stop the browser - in any way: alt-f4, windows rebooting due to its updates, reset button...
after starting the browser, if the "Open on startup" setting was set to "Last session", the mx://last-visit/ page was opened with links to tabs #1, #2, #3 from my last session.
i click the #2 link to re-open that tab. then i open some new tabs (#4, #5). and finally i close tabs #2 and #4.
now i restart the browser again - and in mx://last-visit/ i have links not from the LAST SESSION only (according to the setting's name), but to all the pages i have not closed directly by myself (#1, #3, #5).

in MX6 it is changed. in mx://last-visit/ there are only links from tabs that have been opened at the monent of last session closing. links that will not be re-opened to tabs in current session from mx://last-visit/, in next session will be lost.
is it possible to get that "incorrect MX5 behavior" back in MX6? may be i've missed some settings?

+1 to this. Maxthon is now behaving like Chrome, but actually I always liked how MX5 was handling the last-visits better than Chrome.

It's strange. Why is this done? It was much more convenient when Maxnote and bookmarks were one system. Essentially, both are bookmarks.
What is the essence of separation?

+1 to that, I would actually let only the Maxnote, since it is bookmarks+notes in one place. And the manager is actually more powerful and beautiful. See more here:
