Updating Firefox to Version 95.0 from Version 94.0.2
Hi. have updated Firefox from version 94.0.2 to version 95.0. [windows 10]. i now have no history, no bookmarks or saved links. there is nothing from the previous firefox version in the current version. it's like i'm just starting out with firefox?.
Thanks

i ended up going back into my profiles & making a new one & opening it. this then led me back to the profiles & clicking on the correct one [top one]. which opened & when i checked what version it was it then asked for an update, which i did & now it's all back to normal [thankfully!]. i had originally gone thru most of the links supplied & some others trying to workout what i could do to restore.
the folders all had the same date, however time was different. i believe i went oldest & now with the update it shows current date/time.
Thanks for pointing me in the right/correct direction. i would not have got there otherwise :)

Sometimes when the browser thinks there is a problem with the profile, it will create a new one.
Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder
called; Old Firefox? Look inside.
Look for the folder with the latest creation date.

That was very good work. Well Done.
and now i have lost it all again!. power went off & now i'm back to square one.
went a different way this time & found it. have reset it as the default profile. hopefully i do not lose it again lol.
Well done.
Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles {web link} I use a Legacy add-on that makes backups of my user profile, Just In Case. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with the current Firefox.
Every now and then, open the profile folder and create a copy of the current profile as is to another location on your hard drive. This way you will have a backup.
If you do this each day, you will not lose much data. This should be done with Firefox Closed.
Note: In case you need to restore from these backups, you may need to overwrite old or corrupted files.
Go to your local department/electronics store and look around for a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) that is useful for you. The lowest price is $50 +. There are also units on the market that plug into the computer. So, if the battery gets low, it will shut down the computer to protect it.
Note: Sudden power loss can damage or destroy a hard drive's data.
