Firefox Community Forum

The Firefox icon on the taskbar on my PC suddenly appeared to have a 'rosette' stuck to it. I didn't understand what was happening? I decided it was not relevant to me and while I was attempting to get rid of it, I unintentionally deleted my personal profile in "Profiles"! This contained many important bookmarks and the important password manager extension. I am not very technical, but please can you show me how to recover my profile? Many thanks, Norman Clarke

help me restore my open windows. this has also happened a couple times before and its very frustrating when i have tabs open to read/refer to later or am in the process of reading and then i have to try and find them all again.

I tried to remove the new 'profile'. I don't want it. now ALL my data, settings & bookmarks are GONE ! Help me revert to & restore the previous account settings !!!!!

The regular version of the browser is open with a bunch of pinned tabs and a private version. And!!! If you close the REGULAR version , but DO NOT close the PRIVATE one before that, then when you try to reopen the REGULAR one, ALL OPEN WINDOWS AND TABS will BE DELETED!!! WHY?!?!

And these tabs are not saved in history, because they WERE NOT active in this session!

Where do developers' hands grow from?! Well, this glitch was a couple of years ago! But now?! A month of work preparation went to hell because of Firefox failure... How do I restore tabs that were just blown away by the browser?

So before few days firefox decided to automaticly update. after thet no pasword was saved in system. undery system data 2 files: logins.json-1.corrupt/json-2.corrupt without any data in files (but size is 130KB). i need these logins ASAP.

I’ve been using Firefox for months without manually creating a profile (I assume one is created by default). I had a lot of bookmarks, and today I accidentally created a profile manually, but then deleted it after noticing it didn’t have my bookmarks. Now, even after deleting it, I still don’t have my bookmarks, and Firefox keeps creating profiles for me. I checked backup files, but I can’t find anything, or maybe I don’t even know which folder I’m supposed to look in. My browsing history is gone, and I think I also lost my saved passwords or usernames for websites I used.

I’ve already tried using firefox.exe -P and checking %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\, but my bookmarks aren’t in either of those folders (.default or .default-release). Honestly, I really don’t want to believe I could have lost everything that easily.

I even used Recuva to try recovering files like places.sqlite and checked the bookmarks folders in the only two directories where those files existed, but it was pointless. Honestly, I still don’t even understand how everything got deleted just from manually creating a profile. I really didn’t expect something like this to happen.

Randomly my firefix just get loggedout and when i immediately logged it in again using mozilla i cant see my bookmarks my other accounts my profiles and all my groups and other information it was like i had made a fresh account all my data is lost what to do ? PLZ help i really want my data back i have been trying to get my data. Working on it for last hour.

Running v150.0.3 on a Windows 10 PC. I have (HAD) 5 windows open with about a dozen tabs in each one. Just realized that one of the windows is gone! Every time I startup Firefox, I always allow it to automatically update the version. I have a bad feeling this missing window issue happened during the most recent update (last week?).

Has anyone ever experienced this issue or have any ideas how this could have happened? Any chance of recovering that window? I have weekly backups of the SSD containing all my Mozilla files & folders (Firefox and Thunderbird).

Thanks

I lost all my data after installation of new firefox. I have lots of important data in that profile.

I forgot the password to sign in and when I reset, a new profile was created for me and all my data are gone.

Now, I even know the original password. I did not know, I will lose my data. How can I get my data back? Please help.

Bonjour, A l"allumage de mon ordinateur,ce matin, quand je clique sur l'icône "Firefox", une fenêtre sans mes onglets d'hier C'est une page m'invitant à télécharger Firefox. Je n'ai plus accès à mon historique et, n'ayant plus accès à mes mots de passe, j'ai du mal à ouvrir mes sites préférés. Merci par avance de votre aide. Annie Le Drévo

Windows 11 Firefox crashed on opening continuously so unable to safe open etc. Did update intel graphics to no avail. Uninstalled in add programs in settings. Did not choose to delete data. Reinstalled and now can't find my profile.
