Nice GUI interface for importing old firefox profiles

I've been a loyal Firefox user since version 2.0. but to this day you guys have not made it easier for users to restore Firefox profiles. We in 2026 should be able to do the following directly from the user interface of Firefox. honestly its really taken me a long time to voice this opinion but it makes the app a tad less user friendly. i mean its easier to import from another browser but you have to pull out and search all sorts of folders to import from an old Firefox installation or a windows refresh (windows.old). Please, please implement this ASAP. we users have waited too long.

1. display a list of profiles (even from windows.old after a windows refresh) 2. automatically import that information 3. append existing bookmarks from the bookmarks backup if i choose to. 4. be able to browse the bookmarks and show the most recently used ones 5. be able to even reinstall the existing plugins (this one is minor)


the image attached is exactly showing what happens after a windows refresh. this feature is also great for administrators.

Hi Shomari,

This sounds like a great idea, would it be possible for you to post it on Connect, which is where we store feature requests?
