Ok, so before all this started to happen, Firefox had some issue with updating, some file was unable to be opened so I just straight up reinstalled Firefox. But now for some reason Firefox keeps deleting all of my current data as if it was reinstalling over and over, apparently every time I turn on my computer. This includes outright deleting my add-ons, not disabling them.
I remember that I asked to bring all my old Firefox data at the initial reinstall, maybe that has something to do with it?
A folder called "Old Firefox Data" appears however and it seems that by moving all the files in this container into /browser I can get all the data back, but I don't understand why this is happening in the first place or how to stop this strange automatic reinstalling.
I'm not really sure what files I can send to help but if anyone wants some logs or whatever tell me where they are and I'll get them.
Thanks.
