i opened firefox (v.95) and tried opening up my email and found that all my saved passwords were gone from firefox on my computer. it said i should crate a firefox account to get my logins back so i did and i still could not access any of my web logins. so i searched the help pages. opened up my profile n made a backup of my key3, key4, n loginjson files, downloaded v.91 firefox esr and copied my key3 file into a new profile.

so i still dont have my web logins ... n now i have an outdated version of firefox with none of my bookmarks either. im sick of troubleshooting n my wifi is almost out for the month.

how do i get my web logins and bookmarks back so i dont have to spend hundreds of hours recreating them?

Restoring bookmarks to firefox with html file in FF 98

SO frustrated. Had to have a computer replaced by Dell. Lost EVERYTHING, but at least I had backups, including an html backup of my bookmarks. I transferred over my profile, which didn't work NEARLY as smoothly as before, as I lost auto login info, and bookmarks. Fortunately, I also had backed up my bookmarks from the old computer into a bookmarks.html file.

I've tried the "open library, use import function" and choose my bookmarks.html file crap, and it imports them into the library they are stuck there and are not easily accessible. There IS no "library" button anymore, BTW, which means all of your directions are wrong now too. All the shortcuts I had on the bookmarks toolbar are gone gone gone, despite my "importing from html file." They are in the library, but not accessible.

Something is missing in the steps that I've tried. If I go to the three lines and then bookmarks...there is nothing there but the "getting started" and "get involved" ones. WHERE ARE MY BOOKMARKS?? I can go to manage, and then get to the library, but that's THREE steps to do something that use to only take ONE step.

What's missing? I just want my bookmarks back. Is there a json file I should be transferring that I don't know about? Or some other method of restoring these bookmarks to their accessible location without having to go all the way to manage bookmarks?

I received a message about refreshing my Firefox. Before I did anything, it refreshed. I lost my passwords, etc. and a Old Firefox data folder was placed on my desktop. I tried to follow the instructions in the FAQs to no avail. I do, however, have Firefox on another computer on my network. Is there a way to move the passwords? I can reinstall add-ons, etc.

I use a MacBook, and the main thing I like about Safari is being able to have a bookmarks sidebar open all the time. However, I am trying Firefox for a couple reasons, and there seems to be no way to have a bookmarks sidebar open. All the Help topics on this say to click the Bookmarks button in the taskbar, but there is no Bookmarks button in my version. Has this been taken away? Is it possible to have a Bookmarks sidebar in Firefox on MacOS?

Thanks! :)

I have been reading "The Epoch Times". Sometimes, I will comment on an article. After I comment, I will bookmark that article, so as to return and view my replies. Unfortunately, I started to notice in my Bookmark sidebar, the bookmark is removed deliberately, without my permission. Is Mozilla doing this or is Epoch Times doing this. Because, this is illegal to do by law. Please answer.

Hello All,

Once again my bookmark folder contents disappear shortly after a restore. I had exported them to Chrome a few days ago, and am able to import into Firefox but they disappear soon after the import. the bookmarks remain intact in Chrome so not sure why Firefox is having an issue. I have completed the suggested places.sqlite rename, discontinue sync (on all other devices), and still not fixed. Had this issue almost exactly a year ago. Coincidence?
