Firefox 92 removed ALL of my bookmarks and settings. How can I get them back?!

I just made the mandatory mistake of updating firefox to 92. Now I have no bookmarks whatsoever, and all of my settings are default crap. I can deal with the settings, but I require my bookmarks.

Mozilla was nice enough to overwrite the prior firefox.exe so I can ONLY access 92 (without bookmarks).

This will probably make me never use firefails again. FFS, mozilla, WTF?

Sometimes when the browser thinks there is a problem with the profile, it will create a new one.


Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox? Look inside. Look for the folder with the latest creation date.

Type about:profiles<enter> in the address bar. How many profiles are listed? How many should be there? Also, open the profile folder in your file explorer.
