I have spent the last half hour searching with Google and on Muzila help – everywhere that I can possibly think of and every combination of words and every hit I get that supposedly is the instructions on how to recover sync by entering my account recovery key NEVER leads to a page where I can enter my account recovery key.

HELP!

Thanks!

I just replaced my Win 10 desktop with a new Win 11 desktop. I downloaded Firefox OK, but my bookmarks are no longer there, of course. I was told that there was some way to recover them to this machine, but I didn't get any details how. In fact, the person implied they would just appear when I downloaded Firefox to the new machine. Of course, this didn't happen. Firefox did appear to recognize me (got a "welcome back, by the way" message near the top of the page). Can I somehow recover my old bookmarks to this machine?

This keeps happening and is getting worse every day.

Firefox is refusing to load tabs sometimes every few hours but recently every few minutes so I have to shut it down and restart it, sometimes when I do I lose all my pinned and non pinned tabs, I can't remember what they are so manually restoring them doesn't work.

There should be a way to backup all tabs so they can be restored when this happens.

FIX IT FFS.

OS: Linux Mint Latest update of Firefox

I was using Clean My Mac and it recommended that I clean some files that Firefox was using. I did not realize that one of them was my password file. I rely heavily on Firefox to fill in passwords. Is there anyway to recover the file? I do have Time Machine backups on my MacBook.

Greetings everyone,

Earlier, when I opened Firefox it didn't restore the tabs and windows I had been using from about 2 weeks ago. I tried looking in "History" in the Firefox menu but it only displays tabs and windows that I've closed and it doesn't have the tabs and windows I had actually open.

I've had the same Firefox settings since I first installed Firefox a few years ago and this is the first time this has happened... :'( :'( :'(

I must have had about 70 Firefox windows and even more tabs within those windows so this really hurt me... :'( :'( :'(

Thank you for any help!

уже второй раз браузер закрывается и при новом открытии все закреплённые вкладки исчезают, из-за этого уже думаю поменять браузер, потому что восстановить даже из бекапа не получается

I was browsing web pages and wanted to bring up a previously visited page, but when I went to my browser history, there was absolutely nothing. I had at least half a year's worth of history and now it's gone. How can I get that history back? For reference, I am using the latest update on a Win10 OS. I want to get this back, because there's a lot of pages I'd like to revisit but now cannot.

Good afternoon

Copied Firefox profile in W10

Pasting into Profiles folder in W11 but it won't let me do it. See attached.

I have enabled LongPaths in the registry but that hasn't solved the problem.

Please advise Michael

I've had a history TABS over the years and today after updating Mozilla they all disappeared.

Is there some way to locate and restore them.

It's about 50+ saved tabs and to try to locate those websites and saved them back to my browser would take months.

If there is a solution please , please help me with this.

Thanks, Jerome.

Hello, after an update Firefox has replaced my profile with a blank profile. When I go to about:profiles it lists 2 profiles. Profile: default-release and Profile: default-1392845565532. Both are empty. How can I recover my bookmarks and history? Best regards, David

bold textWHY did you delete my bookmarks and history including the files when you installed the latest backup??? I did not even realize you had another update until I logged in this morning and my desktop firefox screen was completely changed and all my history and bookmarks are BLANK! I've wasted my entire morning trying to fix this! Your support materials are not working either as there are no bookmarks or history left! Ugh!

I'm setting up a new computer, (Windows 11). Currently on a home WIFI network, in UTAH, with another computer, (windows 10). Very soon the new computer will be moving to my retirement home, in Nevada, on a new WIFI network.

Basically, How can I import Firefox bookmarks from another computer that is on the same WIFI network?

There are times that when I open firefox that some of my tabs that does this weird thing where my tabs from the previous session that I left doesn't load up, from what I see is a blank tab that doesn't access the sites I left. It's been twice since I encountered this and I can't replicate the issue. When it happens I try checking out the recently closed tabs or window it doesn't show the ones that didn't show up.
