Hello,

I am so stupid. I had a brand new Mac in November, and sadly accidentially installed firefox twice withouth knowing.

(once installed in Programms once installed on my Desktop, because I was not used to the Mac Installation method with dragging simply the file and not to choose installation directory)

Today I wanted to clean my desktop a little so i moved every icon to wherever it needed to be. I moved also firefox to - Programms on mac and it asked me if i want to keep both - i clicked yes.

Sadly now I have FireFox and Firefox Copy in my Programmfiles but my Firefox bookmakrs and everything is missing now (Because, it was safed on the "firefox" that was "installed" on my Desktop. thats a big nightmare, because i make everyday bookmarks for my work and everything, now the firefox that is installed on the programms is not containing anything, every bookmark, every stored session (from tab session manager addon) is gone....

How can I get these bookmarks back? I dont have normaly overwritten something, I just need to know, how can I access these Bookmark files again? Why even are these things missing now, I just moved firefox Icon to the programm folders from my desktop...

I had the "firefox Account sync activated" now i logged in intoe the empty firefox but nothing has changed no bookmarks, no addon files I could cry for real so much work lost thats a nightmare...

If someone could help I sent money instantly...
