I am looking to Restore yesterday Firefox have lost all my pin tabs when I opened this morning the browser how can I get my old stuff back? Please help me out. Thanks

Honestly, I don't know that "topic" best describes my situation. I am not a "techy" and should not be required to be a "techy" to be able to use Firefox and have it not create terrible problems for me.

Where did my favorites and extensions and homepage go? I clicked "refresh" since you, Firefox, RECOMMENDED THAT I CLICK "REFRESH," and

EVERYTHING IS GONE.

Where is EVERYTHING? I cannot get it back and do not have anything saved. I trusted you. There is no Firefox folder saved to my desktop. There is NOTHING. I have simply lost about 50 FAVORITES PAGES that I NEEDED.

This is disgusting and a betrayal. Firefox? Never again.

I was gifted with the latest upgrade, and all of my passwords and bookmarks have been lost. I signed in with both of my primary emails, and both are acting as if they are new accounts.

I thought I was updating firefox today but the process lost the order of my book marks and makes them extremely hard to find. Some I used several times a day with one click. Now it takes me five clicks just to get to them and then a search. The old system worked perfectly for my purposes. Is there anyway to get back the old bookmarks tab and my old bookmarks in relatively decent order? The text promised me all my bookmarks,etc. I never would had clicked refresh if I had any idea this would be the outcome.

What happened, All my important bookmarks are missing. I have had to log into every account I have, No saved passwords. Really upset. I need help to restore all this information that I need

I didn't know I need to keep a device on if I want to sync my old data. I read it thoroughly. This is annoying, I don't want to lose my Sync data from this because I didn't know. How do you guys retain your Sync data if I were to reset my password? My computer just got fixed and I don't like this greeting of where all my data like history and bookmarks flushed down because I wasn't signed-in in a device nor did I place a key or something.

I completed an update on Firefox and all of the passwords I had saved are gone. I have tried checking for alternate profiles, but that did not work. How can I recover my passwords?

My FireFox was updated to version 153 and all of my bookmarks are gone. I tried to restore them in Manage Bookmarks. But when i click on 'Import and Backup', then 'Restore', then click on 'choose file' nothing happens. I navigated to the directory "bookmarkbackups" and I can see several backups, one dated 08/06/2026. But how do I get Manage Bookmarks to see that file?

I tried to bookmark a current tab and it does not show up under Bookmarks. why can't I set a new bookmark? Are these issues related?

I'm on Windows 10.

For the Troubleshooting data, I manually open about:support and clicked on 'Copy text to Clipboard'. Then pasted that into the box below.

My bookmarks have stopped working. When I went to Edit Bookmark I found they are all empty. I can create a new bookmark as usual, but I have over 300 bookmarks that no long function that are very important to my work. Is there any way I can possibly restore them, as my work depends on them?

What a dirty trick! I updated Firefox to version 136.0.1 to stop all the nagging, and my tabs disappeared! Nothing I could do brought them back. I asked the internet and finally learned about the sidebar, where tiny icons are shown (which I hadn't noticed). Nothing I could do with the sidebar brought the tabs back. Asked the internet again, and finally I found that buried in the Preferences is Browser Layout. When I deselected "Show sidebar," the tabs came back. What a dirty trick to make that the default, with no clue how to undo it! Nothing in the menus or the Help was any help. P.S., I am not a computer novice; I was a systems programmer in my professional life and have been using Firefox for many years.

I have a laptop that died last week. I just got onto a new device, and would like to restore my Firefox settings from that previous device. So, I downloaded firefox, signed in to sync my bookmarks and extensions... and the old device does not appear in my synced devices list. Is there anything I can do to recover my account data? I know it was synced as recently as a few days ago. The device is completely bricked and I will not be able to log in on it anymore. Is there anything to be done?

All but 2 of my previous saved windows have been lost. They are not recoverable or present when trying to use "Recently closed windows." How could this happen? More importantly, how can I recover them? They contain numerous tabs that will be impossible to recreate from memory.
