Firefox Openning As If Freshly Installed
My power just went out for a second, now Firefox its acting like I've never used it.
I've never had this problem. Firefox has worked just fine for years. I have never had an issue with FireFox. Now I'm being told to select a profile like there isn't a set of folders with files dating back to 2021 sitting next to these fresh new folders full of files all dated to today.—I don't know shit by the way, Google told me where the profile stuff is or something idk im pissed.
How do I get Firefox to recognize the same old mountain of files its been using to store bookmarks, passwords, and all the rest is right under its stupid nose? And no the about:profiles page just gives me another blank profile to choose.

ComradeWinston, if you have located your original profile folder on the hard drive, then see this article for getting Firefox to recognise the data from it: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles
Or alternatively: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile
The second link might be preferable if you just want to recover a few items such as bookmarks and passwords. The first is about recovering all the original files.
