Firefox Community Forum

I have Firefox synced on two laptops. In the sidebar menu, when I look at tabs, I see tabs from the other device, but when I look at bookmarks, I only see bookmarks from the device I'm on. Neither can I see synced bookmarks in Manage Bookmarks. In the Settings, in "Manage what syncs on all your connected devices", I have Bookmarks checked. How do I see my synced bookmarks?

I'm trying to have Google.ca as my homepage, but Firefox won't let me. It keep reverting back to Google.com Please help. Claude Hamel [edited] @gmail.com

Hi,

I’m writing you as a very annoyed, frustrated and seriously pissed off user.

I’m a senior lecturer at De Montfort University, Leicester, and have been using Mozilla since 2020/21 on my university account, since I don’t want Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge is user-unfriendly shit. Now, my Mozilla account was registered via DMU (technically set up by the university’s ITMS) to run as my default browser, which opened automatically logged-in and ready to go each time I started the computer. This is how it has worked for the last four years and through many, many updates… until yesterday.

Since the last update on Monday, May 19th, all my access records, settings and bookmarks have been completely wiped off. In fact, it appears that my university-registered account has been wiped in its entirety. Strangely, Mozilla Firefox is still my default browser but only opens with a standard default window. More importantly, I was no longer able to log into my account, as if my account no longer exists… which also means that all my bookmarks and links to important websites within DMU and externally have all disappeared. It will take me at least 1 week (if I focus on nothing else) to find and restore them.

So, how was such a car crash of an update actually possible? Please note that ITMS at DMU is placing the blame and responsibility of this fuckup squarely on you. Furthermore, why was this update actually necessary? Mozilla Firefox was until yesterday a far superior browser in terms of user-friendliness and style compared to Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Apple Safari. Now it’s little more than a cheap, equally flawed Microsoft Edge copycat both in style and user-unfriendliness!

But even worse, I now find out that Mozilla like all those "revolutionary, democratizing" tech companies cannot even be bothered to be accessible for contact when in need for support. Anyway, I would like to know how your update could wipe out my account and all the bookmarks just like that, as if they never existed in the first place. And how do I get my my original settings back?

Very disappointing.

Regards,

Markus

I lost all my tabs groups with the the update to release date for Firefox 138.0.4 on the 2025-05-19. Tab groups are still configured but my sessionstore.js is missing. I notice that there is a backup in Session-store backups dated the 2025-05-19 so I presume the tabs groups are still stored there. Can anybody suggest how to get the tab functionality back? I'm hesitant to just restore the sessionstore.js -- the actual tab group functionality is gone. I can't even recreate the groups.
