efox profile
Firefox recently started asking for a profile when I tried opening a link from email but, not having a profile, I ignored it. If I copied the link into my firefox browser (already open) I could see the link contents, i.e. page(s) opened. Since then I have closed Firefox and now get asked about a profile and have tried using original and creating a new one. We have, unfortunately, reinstalled firefox so this is now more complex. At present, whether I login to Mozilla account or not, my passwords, history etc are no longer on my laptop, despite supposedly being connected. Firefox on my phone is currently the only source of my passwords etc, which is not good as I cannot export from there!
Can I restore this info somehow? We've tried a few suggestions found on the web, but no good yet.
Has something changed recently? My husband got the same profile request on opening Firefox but it worked when he selected use original/default profile.

Hi,
- Try opening about:profiles (just type this in your address bar and press Enter) and checking the profiles listed there by clicking Launch profile in new browser. By any chance, isn't one of them yours?
- Don't you have an Old Firefox Data folder on your desktop?
We tried those things - any other suggestions?
