I keep a lot of tabs open (~60) in any particular session - I find it's faster in this way to get back to a site.

About every six months or so, I lose *all* these tabs because of Firefox's inadequate session backup system. It only saves two or three total backups, some of which are completely out of date. But the worst scenario is when (1) some site pops up a new window; (2) I mistakenly close my main window before the new window; (3) I open this new saved window once or twice by accident, causing my 60-tab session backup to be overwritten.

Using a third-party session manager (I have tried all the well-known ones) can mitigate this problem, but doesn't really solve it because the re-opened sessions aren't quite in the same format as Firefox sessions and so lose information. In particular, I often lose each tab's icon as well as metadata for Tree Style Tab.

Could Mozilla please consider a more robust session backup system for Firefox? All it would take (I think) is to allow the user to choose the total number of backup sessions and the frequency at which a new session is added. Thank you!

I don't know what you're doing but EVERYTIME I do an update lately, something goes wrong. Today after update, my STGs are affected and ALL ARE GONE. I do NOT believe this is their fault. And you put this dang auto Startpage when launching window, I did NOT ask for that. I am so pissed, how do I get them all back? I had things I was working on that were very important. What else did you add to FF that I don't know about? I don't want your updates anymore. You screwed me big time. And I don't want the extensions YOU think I should have: Google, eBay, Bing, etc. wasting my space. I'm not the only one either, seen lots of complaints.

HOW DO I GET THOSE TABS BACK??????

I'm an older pensioner, I've no wish to learn more tech stuff which is unconnected with my question. For years I've been concerned at the invasive nature of Microsoft products and so want to get rid of Win10/11 and install another OS. (I have hundreds of documents in Wordpad (.rtf) and MS are just cancelling it!) It'll probably be Linux based. So, simply I want to take my existing Firefox browser with passwords etc., to my new OS. I asked this question in Firefox and it seems Mozilla can't get over the fact that I don't want change my iOS browser to a synched up Firefox. I don't want my phone connected to my pc. Perhaps that is difficult for today's tech whizz-kids to understand but I can't help that. I'm not really technical but have had Firefox for nearly 30 years, so can anyone tell me if it's possible to copy my Firefox into a folder somewhere perhaps, and reconstitute it to work with my new OS? It certainly used to be possible. Thanks.

Tell me how to get all my bookmarks to appear again after they recently disappeared. When I got the bookmarks back in the toolbar only half of them show up. What happened to the bookmark icon on my toolbar? Microsoft edge still has my bookmarks easily available!

Good Afternoon, My Firefox browser was automatically updated today and I lost all my bookmarks.

Does anyone have any suggestions to find my bookmarks?

Thank you

Firefox did an automatic update today. But now all of my saved bookmarks, saved passwords and items are gone in the new version. How can I retrieve them or return to my previous version of firefox?

Hi,

I don't come from an IT/Tech background so this has become a hassle for me. I have a "Old Firefox Data" file on the my desktop and that seems to have sub-folders with my bookmarks, sessions, logins, etc. How do I retrieve those to the new Firefox browser.

Thanks!

Yesterday I got a prompt saying there was an update available for download. Today when restarting my laptop and opening Firefox ALL of my bookmarks are missing!!! My bookmark toolbar is also empty. Where did all of this important stuff go? Please help me restore this my information asap. I am freaking out!

Hey, So I just updated my Mozilla with the latest update and after I restarted my laptop all my bookmarks, history and favourites are gone. I didn't do any backups manually. It's few hundred important work-related links lost. What actually happened? Can I get them back? Please help.

I managed to find my Backup-files in my Mozilla-files, but upon copying it i only got my closed Tabs back and not my closed Tab-Groups. I lost like months worth of Tabs and dont know how to restore them.
