Urgent - How dare you delete my tabs without warning?

I restarted Firefox today to find you have removed all my 100+ tabs, which I had arranged in folders, and replaced the vertical settings I had with Tree Style Tabs, which in the past has always run slow. I was greeted with childish graphics inviting me to set up a profile and offering me an introduction to Firefox. I have been using Firefox for years, mostly happily, until you screw up the view I had spent hours setting up. You are turning into a cheap Microsoft but with even less consideration for your users. Will you correct this or do I need to search for a new browser? Francis Shennan, LL.B Writer, journalist and law lecturer.

Hi francisshennan,

I'm really sorry to hear that. Please check out Recover user data missing after Firefox update and Recover lost or missing Bookmarks.

Do I get it right that you lost your tabs, not only the personalized view?
