Hello Mozilla Team,

I'll directly jump into - 12 years of Bookmarks and history are gone after the last update. No warning or anything. Can you help me restore? That's unbelievable.

HELLO, DUE TO YOUR UPGRADE, WHICH CAME TO ME TODAY, alllllllll OF MY BOOKMARKS HAVE BEEN LOST, OR SOMETHING. Who has the TIME? to read your instructions, which usually don't follow through with any results.

I can't say enough trashy things to you that I don't have the time to deal with this issue.

Hallo,

ich hatte bereits Anfang des Jahres beim Einrichten meines Laptops Probleme damit, meine Lesezeichen wiederherzustellen. Damals habe ich es jedoch mithilfe eines älteren Profils geschafft.

Nun musste ich den Laptop neu aufsetzen und finde die passende Sicherungsdatei der Lesezeichen nicht mehr. Ich wollte die Lesezeichen daher wieder wie gewohnt zurückholen. Leider gibt es jedoch kein älteres Profil als 24 Stunden. Das bedeutet, dass alle Lesezeichen verschwunden sind.

Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, auf ein Profil zuzugreifen, das ein oder zwei Wochen oder sogar vier Monate alt ist? Und vor allem wie komm ich da ran?

The "one sentence" in the heading states the problem. I am unable to use Firefox. Using Safari to make this post.

Firefox loads. It opens windows (I had fourteen open when I last used it successfully; I have many, many tabs). Then it removes each window from the screen. Firefox is in the Menu bar, but no windows are displayed. The windows still show in the list when selecting Window in the menu bar. Selecting a window in that list has no visible effect. File>New Window opens a new window, which works as expected. With one new window open, File>New Window opens a second.

Typing a few characters in the address bar opens a dropdown with a list of tabs, each with the affordance, Switch to Tab. Clicking on one takes down the list but does not open a window.

I would like, for a start, instructions on how to use Firefox starting afresh with no windows. First: having set aside the data that causes this problem. I suppose that might be simply a new profile. But would like instructions from a person interested in pursuing the problem with me while I continue with the rest of my life.

I'm willing to delete some data from the failing profile, is there is reason to do that, but would like to preserve at least a list of the URLs of the tabs of the windows. Or to learn how to see those in the profile data.

I see four profiles:

  <garble>.default-<13 digit integer>  Date Modified: Today  2.2 GB
  <garble>.Default Profile   Date Modified: Last June   24.6 MB
  <garble>.default-release-1   Date Modified: Last June, five minutes later  93.2 MB
  <shorter garble>.default-release   Date Modified: 2021   13.4 MB

Thanks in advance.

Good morning,

I just made your suggested "reorganisation" of the Firefox Browser with the result that all my hard collation of all my bookmarks, website and passwords are presently gone!!! I can only hope that you have a possibility to recover my datas.

Please advise your instruction to recover my websites, bookmarks etc.

Many thanks in advance.

The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem.

I have Account Recovery Key , struggle how to use it in order to recover: passwords, bookmarks saved on fire fox Generated: Oct 13, 2025 [removed email by moderator] Debian 13 Xfce Version 4.20 GTK version 3.24.49 Karnel Version 6.12.94+deb13-amd64 Windowing System X11 CPU Intel Core i5-825OU CPU @ 1,60GHzx8 Memory 7,6 GiB GPU Mesa Intel UHD Graphics 620 (3,8GiB)
