My places.sqlite file has places.sqlite.corrupt just under it in my second profile's folder. I tried renaming the corrupt file as just places.sqlite (calling the first places.sqlite something else) and restarting as suggested but the history still won't show up, and when I check the folder, places.sqlite is once again places.sqlite.corrupt (with a places.sqlite file just above it.)
Is there a way to somehow get Quantum to read my old history?

Hi. I had to reinstall my laptop OS, so I also reinstalled Firefox. I excpected, as in past experiences, to have my bookmarks, add on, cache data back, but all data was lost. Is there any chance those data are somewhere and can be retrievable? Thanks in advance for the support. Regards, Francesco

Hi! My account - elzas07@ya.ru I have many years of syncing bookmarks, settings and passwords, but 2 months ago, when I installed a new version of Firefox on Windows Pro 10, I can't do that. The instructions on your website do not help me. I go to my account in the browser, sync, but the bookmarks are empty!!!! I want my passwords, bookmarks and settings! Bad browser!

I have AVAST running on my computer in passive mode; I simply have not bothered to remove it, fearing screwing something up. Now, AVAST has stripped all my saved passwords from FIREFOX. Can I load these back into Firefox from my renegade AVAST?

I refreshed Mozilla which clearly stated that all passwords and bookmarks would be kept however they are gone. I have copied logins (which is an Adobe Acrobat file, not a json) from my old Firefox Data to my Firefox Profile folder. I have also copied the key4.db - neither returned my passwords or bookmarks. Please help.

When I last closed it, there were about five windows opened with many tabs I planed to return to. I am using a Mac. Firefox is not sync'd. I've spent a month slowly switching from Safari to Firefox. Created a lot of new and original bookmarks and logins. The loss is a real setback. It opens in a new profile it created. "Old Firefox" is not on my computer. I've read somewhat similar problems. The solutions seem very complex and do not seem to apply. Any way I can restore my work?

I created a Firefox account, synced my laptop, and then the tech foloks at my work did a re-imaging of my laptop. When they tried to get my bookmarks and passwords back, they changed the password for Firefox since it would not take the password I set up. Now, none of the bookmarks or passwords are coming up. My work tech department says it just takes time. However, in a previous chat I was told that if the password gets changed, everything is lost. Is this true?

Using Macbook Pro. I had my computer sleeping and Firefox minimized. I had bookmarks earlier and a bunch on the bookmarks toolbar....now I have nothing.
When I go to view all bookmarks > Import > Restore, I have no dated backups listed at all. Nothing. Has it all been lost? Do I have no Firefox profile backups? Any way to get this information back?

Hi. I've been a loyal user to Mozilla Firefox for many years now. My concern is whenever I updated the browser from the past, It deletes my settings and extensions. That's whats keeping me from updating it for quite sometime now. So Im simply afraid to do it. For example. Part of my research entails an extension that downloads and converts from a video site. After an update this is removed. I have to re-install everytime. I so got tired of this. Its so annoying everytime it asks for updating, I have to opt out. Is there some way I can update this without messing up my settings? Has Mozilla already worked out a version without messing with my settings? Thank you for the help.

When I turned on my computer - firefox went into refresh. I didn't press anything - refresh just started all by itself. When it finished my desktop was gone.

Hi everyone, the laptop I'm currently using broke off, so I'm borrowing someone else's computer. I had no issues with syncing the bookmarks, plugins, etc. in the past ever since this feature was released, but now I lost everything.
I am wondering if there's a cure to this problem, aside from waiting for my laptop to get repaired and export the bookmarks manually.

I just installed the latest Firefox update (67) and when the browser restarted I noticed no web pages were loading. It turned out this was because my uBlock Origin and uMatrix extensions had been completely cleared of ALL data, including their default/pre-defined rules.
All of my extensions data seems to have been cleared. The extensions are still installed, but their settings/data are completely gone.
This is EXTREMELY frustrating.
Does Firefox make backups or anything before it attempts an update? Is my extension data/settings recoverable somehow?
Come on, Mozilla, what are you doing to Firefox recently?!

My mother and I both use Firefox on different models of Toshiba laptops. Starting a few months ago Firefox began refreshing itself without either of us doing anything. It's usually either right before or right after a FF update is available; downloading the update right away doesn't seem to matter (as in, updating doesn't fix anything; it still happens). My mom's FF refreshed itself today as the 67.0.3 update became available.
Every time this happens I have to go through and change all of our settings back to they way they were, and reconfigure all of our add-ons. It's really frustrating.
