Who decided to attach everything in my browser to a profile that can be easily deleted???!?!?!? Just lost all of my work shit because I tried to turn off this dumb feature I wasn't using and now everything is gone!!! History, passwords, bookmarks, sessions, everything! Never even created any profile, the browser just updated and necxt day all of my settings were tied to this dumb bullshit. Stop moving all of my data without notice or permission.

Almost locked my out of my work email because it thinks this is a different device now!!!!!!! [expressing disappointment]

Extensions too??? WHY??????? Profile deleted and it's like an entirely different browser on an entirely different device. No reason for there to not be an backup if you're going to shunt all of my data somewhere else.............. Don't change/move my [stuff]!!!!!!!!!

Hi Billy,

I understand that you may be frustrated, but no one has moved your data. Firefox works in a way that all your browsing data is stored in a special folder called a profile. This allows you to uninstall or troubleshoot Firefox without losing your data. It has always been a thing, nothing has changed here.

A default profile is created when you first use the browser (otherwise, it wouldn't be able to function). What you've seen is probably a callout to try creating additional profiles, since a new friendly UI has been added for that. However, apart from the callout and a new menu entry, nothing should have changed.

Moreover, when you try to delete a profile, Firefox warns you and explicitly states that data is gonna be deleted. You are required to confirm the action before Firefox can proceed.

The only advice I can think of is trying to use Sync as a backup source (which is not very reliable, but may work), or looking for a third-party backup of your file system.
