Latest Firefox release update wiped out my bookmarks. Tried to restore a saved HTML version - and it says "this file doesn't include any bookmark data". (This is a "Firefox HTML Document" property type, saved using the BACKUP feature on w/n Firefox itself - using "manage bookmarks".)

I use the Selenium IDE plugin for my job about 1 year. But yesterday I encountered a problem. I saved the project I was working on and left work on Friday(10.10.2025). And for a year, I kept saving it to my desktop. Yesterday(13.10.2025) morning I restarted my computer because it was running very slow. When I turned on the computer, I saw that the Selenium IDE project file I was working on was missing. I say "lost" because when I had it checked by the system team at the company I work for, it didn't appear to have been deleted. Also, I don't have any files with the ".side" extension in the recycle bin. I tried to find it with programs like Recuva and Everything, but it is not found. This is a very important file for me and my work. Can you help me please?

File name: MevaTest.side Selenium Ide extension version: 3.17.4

Without my bookmarks I cannot operate. Bookmarks are a number 1 for me whilst using a browser. I will not use a Browser if there are no bookmarks - which there isnt at the moment on Firefox. They have gone. Unless this is fixed I am going to have to use a different browser. BYE Bye.

I restarted my computer and Firefox has deleted my profile, including all bookmarks, settings, history, and add-ons. I had to make a new account using this email and google account which is the same email and google account I had on my old profile. Is there any way to retrieve my old profile?

I turned on my computer as usual , then the message about Firefox not being able to turn on because a file was engaged elsewhere (?) then without me pushing any keys my computer cut out and then restated after awhile. when it came back on I tried to follow instructions to restore my Bookmarks to no success. My next step was to change to another email address and received the 6 digget code which brought me to this current page. HELP Please.

I have been a Firefox user for many, many years. I started getting the Subject message: "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional" error message this evening. I started to "Fix" this error based on the Mozilla Support page. Actually, I first tried restarting my computer and that didn't correct the problem. I then noticed I could "sign off" Firefox which I thought I'd do and sign back in. I didn't notice until after the fact that my Firefox account was tied to a very old email address I once used that is no longer active "commish3@bellsouth.net". When I tried signing back into Firefox using that old email account, it said a security code would be sent to that old email address. Problem is I no longer have access to that email account.

1) Is there a way I can sign back in and have a security code sent to my current email address: tad3.dickinson@gmail.com ?

2) Can you assist with restoring my bookmarks. Again, years of building these bookmarks that I'm very dependent on.

Thanks, Tad Dickinson

Old laptop died , its not repairable, but the SSD Hard drive is OK , all the data on it and software is intact , but only thing I cant find or access is Firefox bookmarks and thats bad as i use them for my work ...what can i do to recover my bookmarks ???

Не знаю по какой причине, возможно какой-то баг или ещё чего, но у меня пропали все вкладки, даже те, которые были сгруппированы. Возможности восстановления предыдущего сеанса у меня нет.

Mozzila не открывает предыдущую сессию, соответствующая галочка в настройках стоит. Я пробовал разные способы, указанные в часто задаваемых вопросах. В том числе с подменой данных в папке sessionstore-backups: запускал браузер - находил эту папку - вставлял нужный файл .jsonlz4 - перезапускал браузер. В таком случае все мои вкладке были на месте НО после закрытия-открытия браузера сессия снова сбрасывается. При очистке браузера, появлялась кнопка "восстановить предыдущие вкладки", восстановление происходило, НО закрыл-открыл браузер - и снова пусто. Пробовал удалить браузер и установить снова - та же проблема. После запуска, если открыть журнал - в разделе недавно закрытые вкладки, недавняя история поиска - пусто, как будто предыдущей сессии вообще не было. Как исправить эту проблему? Примечание - мои закладки, введённые пароли и расширения на месте.

I was, admittedly, perhaps doing a bit much on my ram at the time. but i didn't expect this. i didn't expect it at all.

screen went black a moment, firefox crashed. I figured it was fine! it crashes sometimes. it always restores my tab. the little bug report was there! willing and ready to restore my session for me. i let it restart fox.

i get the firefox sesion restore tab. but i already am filled with dread and upset. because i can see, in my peripherals, the blue button to restore session, is already greyed out. checking the little drop-down that shows you your session- [expletive]. empty.

God. what the [expletive]. I- what the [expletive]. it's a stupid thing to cry over, im sure. But some, most, of those tabs were YEARS old, from when i moved. and i've been having a hard time thinking about my old home lately. and now i've lost another bit of home. Some of those tabs may not even be in my [expletive] history anymore; i have a weird cut off of my oldest history in the history window, library window, thingy, where i can tell history was wiped, but i never wipe my history. i have no clue why this wipe even happened! Other then pushing it on my pc a bit much, but it's not been the first time i haven't paid attention; and it's restored before! what the [expletive]. Deeply upsetting. i've tried, even, to restore things myself; i have a 'upgrade.jsonlz4' file, few months old, but enough to have most of my tabs if it were stored inside; tried to rename it one of the recovery files, 'recovery.jsonlz4' and 'recovery.baklz4', then both, but doesn't work to get my windows back. This is awful.
