Firefox Community Forum

I have been using Firefox on my Mac computer at home and on my Windows computer at the office. Firefox started launching automatically when I booted up my office computer. This only began quite recently (since last update?). When I went to undo that setting, the browser prompted me to sign in, which had never occurred before to my recollection.

Today when I logged on to my home computer and launched Firefox, all my bookmarks had been changed to my work bookmarks.

Can my home bookmarks be retrieved?

I had to uninstall Firefox. This new version will not install any of my prior settings, bookmarks, extenions, etc. I am running Windows 10 Pro and I get regular updates.BTW, sync is turned on.

Firefox update and a pop up deleted my open tabs so that I couldn't easily restore history. I tried some of the suggested work arounds but was not allowed to copy (or open file) from profile folder, sessionsstorefile. What is needed for the required "permissions"?

At random times when opening the browser, all my tabs (except the first one) turn into about:blank. Relaunching the browser does not resolve the problem, and there is nothing in the history that allows me to restore them. It is extremely frustrating, as this is the third time I have lost all my tabs.

My session crashed and got a message to say that Firefox had been updated...now on 158. However, none of my (many) tabs and pinned tabs opened. - 'Restore previous session' is greyed out - Session restore in Settings is configured that Firefox is my default browser, and 'Open previous tabs and windows' box is ticked. The last time Firefox updated, I spent hours going through History to find tabs and since some were older than 6 months, took me hours! Is this my only option...again! If it is, I may have to switch to a different browser. Thanks.

My laptop recently broke down and I'm wondering how to recover my bookmarks, passwords, etc. on the new one I plan on getting. I have a mozilla account and I tried logging in on my phone but I cannot see anything from the old device, even though it is the same account. Does it mean it will be the same on the new laptop? Would really love to get everything restored. Hope someone can help.

Firefox updated without my knowledge, and all my data, including passwords and bookmarks, disappeared. My profiles still exist, but everything else is gone. I couldn't recover my data manually or through about:profiles. When I first opened Firefox and saw that everything was missing, I was prompted to import from Chrome and did so, so now I'm wondering if that messed things up. I just want my passwords back!!

Recently downloaded an update to Firefox and installed it. Now it says I have a new recovery key but I can seem to get it to show me the key. There is a link that I found that says: View Recovery Key, but when I click on it, nothing happens. I would have expected that it would have revealed the key and I could then save it for later use if needed.

I can't implement the suggested solution

• Open your profile folder: Windows: C:\Users\<YourUser>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>\

because no Mozilla folder is being found

No Firefox folder is being found either.

My laptop did something funky upon booting up. It showed a "Desktop" and then a "Desktop 2", for what that's worth.
