Firefox Support Forum

i synced my account on this pc but nothing showed up and when i went to delete what i thought was the sync on the pc, its turned out to be my actual account, i need to retrieve my account as its in use on 5 pcs

I had to reset my computer. I backed up everything and verified that my sync worked. When I put in the password, the account wouldn't take it. So we had to reset the password, but still nothing is coming through. Can you assist? Do you have a backup anywhere?

My Win 7 Laptop got wet, very wet and wont start.

Firefox password manager had saved many site passwords

If I take the HDD out and with a USB enclosure hang it off another PC as drive F:

Where and how might the passwords be found and read

I have a firefox account and it normally syncs my bookmarks between my laptop at work and my machine at home.

All my bookmarks at work have disaapeared, but they are all still there.

I tried restoring my bookmarks at the work machine, and is shows as being able to restore 102 bookmarks but when i do this the bookmarks toolbar refreshes but no bookmarks appear.

Can anyone help?

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

Good evening all Just upgraded to Firefox 58 on a Mac and no longer have any saved passwords. Managed to import bookmarks from old version but can't find how to import passwords. Thanks in advance

The upgrade wiped out everything. In searching for bookmarks to restore, I find I have several profiles. I want to RESTORE the BMs from ALL of these profiles. I understand that each "restore" replaces all bookmarks, so how does one CONSOLIDATE all of these profiles' bookmarks into one place?

I'm badly confused and extremely panicky about doing something that will actually wipe out the bookmarks backup!!

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!

Hello,

I wiped my laptop in November because I had a virus and my Firefox bookmarks have disappeared. I have followed the recovery advice given in Forums and have found lots of Firefox folders in my computer, including JSON files, but when they open in Firefox the tabs are empty. I had wiped my laptop two months before, in September, and my bookmarks were all there when I reset the system so I'm upset that this has happened. I've changed laptops in the past and wiped the system and this is the first time I have ever lost my bookmarks.

I'm really hoping someone can help me recover them.

Please note I am not a technical person so please make the advice as easy as possible for me to understand.

Thank you.

I know that my saved passwords are still available - because when I go onto sites I always use, on this browser, it logs me in.

However if I go to Options>Privacy & Security> Saved logins it only shows the "firefox account credentials" (which I had never noticed before) and 1 password I updated today

Hello Mozilla Community

My problem is really serious because I have a lot of things on this bookmarks So I got a new hard drive because the old one burned and I couldn't retrieve anything from it after that I installed and opened my account (sign in to sync) on the new Firefox but the bookmarks didn't sync after I sign in and I don't have any HTML backup because I thought It is a sync service my bookmarks should be on this account So I want a way to retrieve them whatever it takes

thanks in advance

All settings, history, tabs, add-ons, etc. are default as if a new install. The upgrade history of Firefox remains. Latest: 3 of 4 files in default profile folder ysb3r7f8.default > sessionstore-backups > previous.jsonlz4, recovery.baklz4 & upgrade.jsonlz4-20180315233128 (written in Chinese text with some scattered blue & red characters). A similarly named and sized file, recovery.jsonlz4, is in English. (viewed contents with Notepad)

My Firefox only saves the history for a few days and I don't know why. That are about 300 sites. Probably the longest it saves are the last 7 days. When I go to about:config and type "places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages" it gives me a value about 60000. So why won't Firefox save up to 60000 sites of history then? I am currently on Firefox ESR.

Thanks for any help.

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?

Здравствуйте создал аккаунт в Mozilla Firefox очень давно.сохранял там пароли,сайты нужные для меня закладки все и всегда работало отлично,переустанавливал Windows,после чего скачивал Mozilla Firefox заходил в аккаунт Firefox и все закладки,пароли,сайты были всегда на своем месте.Сегодня переустановил Windows установил Mozilla Firefox,зашел в аккаунт Firefox и обнаружил что нет ни одной закладки которые я сохранял многие годы.ни одного пароля ни чего все исчезло и не понятно почему,хотя вчера вечером я еще пользовался и закладками и пароля. Параметры синхронизации: Выберите, что нужно синхронизировать на ваших устройствах при помощи Firefox. 1.Закладки, 2.Открытые вкладки, 3.Логины, 4.Историю, 5.Дополнения, 6.Настройки все эти параметры включены! да и опять не первый год пользуюсь Mozilla Firefox ,сколько раз уже за эти годы переустанавливал Windows и Mozilla Firefox всегда все работало отлично.мне именно эта функция и нравилась Mozilla Firefox что все сайты,пароли и закладки сохраняются на аккаунте и не нужно их постоянно искать и вводить. Как восстановить все те закладки,пароли и т.д. что было на аккаунте Mozilla Firefox!?
