Can someone explain why the latest update to Firefox has completey destroyed my setup? No history, no book marks, no nothing! How do I get it all back?
Some solutions suggest there should be an "old profile" folder on mt desktop. There isn't. This is a bloody ridiculous situation to put people inot.

Fixed it myself. New install seems to have created a new profile and made it the default. I found the profile manager (navigate to about:profile) and found my profile was still ther so I maed it the default and it now looks OK. This, if deliberate, is extremely poor practice.

Are you using multiple versions of Firefox on your computer?

Note that Firefox 67 and later can use a dedicated profile for each of the Firefox update channels. For Release this would be a xxxxxxxx.default-release profile.
