The Windows Firefox desktop program disappeared from my work computer, and now there is no recoverable profile that has all of my work bookmarks. Our IT company checked local backups and there's no data from before the random uninstall. They also did a system restore point with no luck. None of the help articles from Firefox or online are solving the issue. Help!

Firefox completely changed overnight without notice and I have lost all my bookmarks and can't find out how to access TV channels that were easily available previously on my desktop. Trying to make sense of changes but struggling. Nothing that used to work for me is still available. I don't even recognise it. Might have to give up Firefox.

Sometime between 10PM 7/23 and 2 AM 7/24 I deleted my profile by mistake, and all of the data my browser collected has been lost. Passwords, history, cookies, chat logs, etc. No account sync, or official Mozilla profile until now.

Everything is gone and I don't know how to replicate the steps found in this video. Mac's don't conveniently show you things like deleted user data unless you know exactly where to find them. [|https://youtu.be/JWJwmKLqnZs?si=g_g47eHSwoB8XSL5]

I've already tried using Time Machine, but that failed spectacularly.

Current OS is macOS Tahoe 26.5.2, Firefox 153.0 (aarch64)

This is not so much as a help request as a suggestion, if someone can forward this along....

I depend on containers since they were introduced. I see now that they can vanish and are not synced nor can they be easily backed up. I have lost customer accounts now because of my dependence on containers. Had I known they could vanish, I would have continued using different profiles.

Please add a warning for those who depend on containers so that they do not end up in my predicament or remove them entirely or at least do not add them by default.

Hello, I am requesting assistance recovering my original Firefox profile. My original Firefox installation unexpectedly disappeared from my computer. Believing I needed to reinstall it, I accidentally downloaded Firefox from the wrong source. I was eventually able to recover my Firefox profile, but Firefox repeatedly crashed afterward. To resolve the crashes, I uninstalled Firefox and then downloaded the correct version from Mozilla's website. After installing the correct version, my original Firefox profile is now completely gone. Before this happened, my Firefox profile contained all of my saved passwords, bookmarks, browsing history, and folders, including important folders such as Bills and Jennifer. Those folders are no longer present. I would like to know whether there is any way to recover my original Firefox profile or restore the missing data. If there are any recovery methods or diagnostic steps you can provide, I would greatly appreciate your assistance. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Jennifer Harbaugh
