SUBJECT: Profile missing after update to 146.0.1 

After the last Firefox update (146.0.1), I can no longer access my profile that included bookmarks, history and passwords.  

After the update was done on 12/19/25, I was given the option to choose between my original profile and a newly created one. The next day when I opened Firefox, there was only one profile shown and my original profile was gone. I have read numerous fixes for this problem but nothing seems to work.

I have done the following to try to locate my missing profile to no avail. 1. I went to the Profile Manager but the only profile listed was the newly created one. 2. I didn't do a refresh so there was no "Old Firefox Data" folder to copy the data from. 3. Used about:Profiles, Again only the newly created profile was listed 4. I used ~Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles. Still no luck. 

Could my profile have been moved to another place or could it be hidden? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

yesterday i had all my stuff like every other day, and for some reason i randomly got logged out of alot of my accounts. Now i woke up this morning and the entire browser was reset. no bookmark shortcuts, no tab collections, all account locked out for no reason, what's going on?

I don't have any backup for this, and i didn't think i'd need it, because i'd never delete all ym data for no reason.

Is there even a way to get it back?

My bookmarks are not working. Every time I try to click the star, nothing happens. I try to add bookmarks using ctrl d and nothing happens. This happened probably after an update from firefox (there is so many that I have to do constantly). I even tried restoring previous bookmarks, however it tells me unable to process the backup files. Ive even done "refresh firefox" "troubleshoot mode" and "clear startup cache" in the about:support area. Ive also reset my pc multiple times.

I would hate to have to use a different browser. PLEASE HELP FIX THIS
