My computer went through the process of updating Firebox. Afterwards all my bookmarks are gone. I clicked on Manage Bookmarks...then clicked on Import and Backup...then clicked on Restore which open a File dialog box. What file? Nothing is restore. I want the bookmarks restored.

with this new version i lost everything i need to get back to an older version and get all my extentions my bookmarks back all my s desktop items that i had linked to firefox are gone i can no longer get face book or anything back to firefox book marks every thing i had with firefox

and

Yesterday, 50% of my bookmarks were deleted and now I can't bookmark anything. I tried to restore my bookmarks to several previous dates, but I received the following message each time:

Unable to process the backup file.

I tried to bookmark different websites and no bookmarks are saved now. I updated to the latest Firefox today and no change.

Today I closed Firefox as usual. It wrote recovery.jsonlz4 and recovery.baklz4. (Sorry if I’m missing some details, I’m just a bit upset.)

On the next launch, it didn’t show a window (most likely due to gWSL). I knew that after the next exit it would rewrite the session files, so I backed up .mozilla. (At that moment I didn’t realize recovery.jsonlz4 was already overwritten.)

I killed Firefox and WSL, restarted, restored .mozilla, reopened Firefox — and it rewrote recovery.baklz4 with an empty recovery.jsonlz4. The session page showed nothing. I panicked, because my previous .mozilla backup is very old.

I found out there may be a way to recover if I don’t launch Firefox before copying recovery.baklz4 to recovery.jsonlz4. So I closed Firefox, restored .mozilla again, checked that the .baklz4 file was larger, copied it over the .jsonlz4, and opened Firefox. It successfully restored everything.

Why do I need to manually back up session files? Could they be versioned, or at least not replaced by an empty session?

If the only tab is about:sessionrestore, that usually means something went horribly wrong, and it shouldn’t overwrite the previous session.

Relying on third-party extensions doesn’t solve the problem. Replacing a valid session with a blank one leads to data loss.

As you probably understand, this isn’t the first time I’ve lost data because of this behavior. This time I managed to save it, but previously I didn’t know these steps and lost my tabs.

After an unwanted and un-needed update, all my tabs closed and I can't find them again. Then after rolling the browser back to a previous version, now all of my bookmarks are gone. I want them back where are they on the hard drive.

I recently bough a new computer and transferred all my data, passwords and bookmarks to it. Each time I opened my mozilla browser I was encouraged to create a profile , but each time I just continued without creating a profile. Finally today I was not given an option to proceed without creating a profile so I did. But now all my passwords and bookmarks have disappeared. When I try to find them I am advised to load my previous profile but this is not an option the only profile I have is the one I just created with the missing data. Can you please tell me where the appropiate files are stored and how can I recover them. Thanks

Just updated my Firefox. I had a huge tab group saved, and tons of bookmarks. I've been using firefox for months, I didn't have an account signed in on the browser though. I updated it and it had to restart, and everything was gone when it reopened. I even clicked that it should reopen tabs after restarting, but it just opened to tell me to make a profile. It told me that they just introduced profiles, and it put me on profile 1, which looked brand new. No browsing history whatsoever, no bookmarks, my background that I set is gone, and I cannot find anythign at all. I had over 50 bookmarks, inclyding very imprtant links for a final paper, and I'm genuinely so upset. Multiple of those bookmarks were things for me to go back to read/watch later and I will literally not be able to find them. If anyone has any tips at all, I'd love them. I am so seriously upset right now and I'm just hoping its possible for that to come back.

Hi there,

I woke up this morning and opened firefox. Normally it opens the days previous tabs and this morning it didn't. When I tried 'restore recent tabs' it didn't do it. When I went into history and found the previous day's back up and tried to restore it also failed. Can you help?

Best wishes, Inez

Over the past few months, there would be occasions in which my history and bookmarks get deleted without me cleaning my browser. More recently, my tabs themselves would get deleted and today, only one of my tabs loaded upon launching my previous session. When I closed and reopened the browser, it only registered the one tab that loaded from my previous session. Is there some incompatibility with my browser and something else that might cause this?

The new version of Firefox has been uploaded to my desktop withoiut any notification or communication to me. I have now lost all shortcuts and other data stored on my original Firefox, indeed, I have been taken back to the original as if I am a new user. I have used Firefox for many years. How do I retrieve all of the lost data from my old version? I am not a techie so please advise in simple step by step measures. Thank you. Regards Martin Forge

It seems to me that recovery from backup only allows one to recover ALL bookmarks. But maybe one wants to recover only one folder, or only a few folders. Can that be done? If so, how?

Aloha — An update to Firefox must have occurred, and I am unable to access my open tabs and bookmarks. I have had a Firefox account for 15 years at least and a lot of information was in my folders and bookmarks. Please let me know how the information can be recovered. I tried to follow several of the instructions provided and was not able to fix the issue. I have a recovery code/Mozilla key, but I am not sure where or how to use it.

I do all my work and personal stuff on Firefox so I need timely assistance to fix the problem.

Thank you, Mike
