Well, it is quite simple: you upgraded FireFox last night and now I lost all my bookmarks which is horrible and I really do not appreciate what happened and why? It never happened before.....

I have just restarted my computer following installation of updated software. I find that Firefox has lost all my bookmarks. Are they stored somewhere, and if so how can I recover them?

I would like to know what happened to all of my bookmarks I had when I opened my firefox, nothing is there and I can't seem to find out how to restore them.. what ever you have done to firefox, mozilla I hate to say I don't like it at all.. thanks

Hi there, so my old laptop of 10 years, finally crossed the rainbow bridge! Dead in the water! I have a shiny new machine. And now I need all my passwords, etc. How can I make this happen? The old laptop is a goner, no hard drive, no nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I read other threads and most seem to talk about copying info from the old profile/whatever. I am unable to do that. Thanks in advance!!!!

I wish to transfer my bookmarks, acreued over a number of years from a laptop to a new device on Windows 11, currently they are not seeing each other on file explorer but I have an external drive which I can use to transfer files

I am repeatedly (a couple of times a week for the last several weeks) losing bookmarks. It is possible for me to regain them when I follow the instructions given by Firefox, but I am frustrated with having to do it repeatedly. I am including below the instructions I am following so that someone out there might be able to identify the root of the problem.

I updated to Windows 11 Pro, version 24H2 on May 2, 2025.

My suspicion is that a "helpful" friend made some sort of error. Earlier this spring, he deleted Microsoft Defender Malware Bytes (I think) because it was interfering with bookmarks. Maybe it has something to do with running Windows 11. If all that sounds confusing, it's because of my lack of technical expertise. I will be grateful to anyone who can help me.

Hello, Today I updated my firefox and lost all data related with my firefox acc. Passwords, bookmark.

How can I recovert it? It was in sync before update it.

Hi

I've just booted my machine and opened Firefox, only to be presented with a completely fresh install.

All my settings, bookmarks and history gone. It was fine yesterday when I closed it and powered down.

I'm running Kubuntu, I've checked the .mozilla folder and nothing...it's like my profile has just been overwritten.

Not happy at all, I'm starting to dislike Firefox.

Can anyone offer any help or advice please?

Thanks in advance.

I recently had to have my harddisk replaced as it had become corrupted. The technician did not reload Firefox or Thunderbird. I hope this can be done as a restore so that I find my bookmarked and favourite websites and my e-mails
