My old macbook broke (logic board problem) and I am unable to recover any information off of it currently. I bought a new macbook and didn't know my password for firefox so reset it without knowing it would remove all my saved information. I still have the saved bookmarks, etc on my phone, but no other device (including new macbook). Is it possible to retrieve my data?

Due to numerous technical glitches, sometimes McAfee deducts the payment even if you have stopped the auto-renewal. However, you can request a refund to get your money back.

I had dozens and dozens of bookmarks saved, which I backed up a few days ago, and saved the .json file to my desktop.

When I went to open them this morning, they were all gone. I imported the file to restore them, but none of my saved bookmarks returned. It seemed to import a state from 2024.

I have scoured these forums and tried everything that was sugggested, even tips from different forums.

Did this happen because I didn't have a Mozilla account (until now)?

Please please help. I don't have any profile data saved on my computer and I need my bookmarks back!

Hi

Now I've singed in my Firefox account on my Laptop after it was completely reset. After syncing data from my account there is nothing at all in history, bookmarks, etc. Could you please assist to recover my data?

I'm in the process of exporting my FireFox bookmarks as html files.

In this process I noticed that everytime I save (export bookmarks as html) as a file a location on my disk, then open up that file to inspect/check - I notice that FireFox appends to the exported file rather than replace. Even though it asks if I want to replace the existing file during the save dialogue.

I'm using win 8.1

So, that's fine I though, 'let's' just delete that file and start over. Long story short, it does not work; I did the following.

Before closing FireFox I went into FireFox settings and click on all catagories of History - and cleared. I then closed FireFox then in Windows Explorer went to where the original file (exported html bookmarks), and deleted that file directly from windows.

I then opened up FireFox again and exported the my bookmarks as html to the same location again. Even though that destination no longer has a file from before - when I reopen the just now newly export html bookmark file - I see the contents are the same as before - (I has the appended/duplicated html bookmarks).

It's like instead of exporting the bookmarks I actually see in FireFox, it is referring to some saved information somewhere instead and saving that.

How can I export what bookmarks and folders I actually see in FireFox instead of some internal bookmarks/folders FireFox thinks I have - In other words - is there some file I can delete or setting to clear?

Thanks.

I followed these directions - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/export-firefox-bookmarks-to-backup-or-transferm but Firebox only exports this data in the bookmarks.html file and attached image! Bookmarks Menu

How can export all of my bookmarks in Firefox?

My husband bought a new computer and signed into Firefox with the wrong email but the right password. Needless to say his decades of info disappeared. I have the recovery key from his old computer, am I guaranteed it will recover his old info? He is so sure it will fail he just wants to return the new machine and struggle with the crappy old one.
