The most recent Firefox update destroyed my bookmark system and reorganized it in a way that is utterly useless. Why did Firefox do this? What -- if anything -- can I do to restore my bookmark system to what it was?

Windows 11 system; currently running 131.0.3 (64-bit).

Was offered the chance to update to 132.0 (About | Help) (I do not and will not ever allow automatic updates without user approval, and my profile is stored in an entirely separate folder structure well away from the insecure \users hierarchy). Did the usual click on the update button, showed 132.0 downloading, update button changed to "Restart to Update", clicked the button...

And the update failed. Help | About shows 131.0.3, and the "Restart to Update" button is still active.

Tried again with a full shutdown instead of using the update button, same result.

So how do I force this update to install?

Several days ago I backed up my hard drive, preparing to upgrade from W10 to W11. The upgrade was very slow and took a lot of time. Also, when I began to use W11, many of the programs, including Firefox, were slow to load and slow to run. Finally, I decided to try a reinstall of W11, hoping for an improvement. For this second try, I decide to use the option that eliminated programs that, over the years, I had downloaded onto my computer, such as Adobe Reader, Glary Utilities, and Firefox. For whatever reason, this second installation of W11 took less time and programs like Adobe and Glary worked almost as well as before. (They performed a little better on W10.) But not Firefox! Firefox wouldn’t run at all. I then deleted Firefox, using Revo Uninstaller. My next step was to download another copy of Firefox, from the Mozilla website. The result was the error message I have seen on many postings on this website:

Profile Missing Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

As of this writing, the path C:\Users\rsuth\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ leads to two folders, both dated 11/11/2024: 0dppjrfa.default contains one file, times.json, dated 8/11/2020 and ru82tlj5.default-release, containing 97 items, files and folders, most – but not all - of the files dated 11/11/2024.

On my desktop is a folder Firefox Bookmarks. Inside is Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/xh22l03a.Default User It contains 79 items, files and folders, mostly dated 7/16/2023

I have used Firefox for many years. It contains links to many handy and valuable websites. I hope that someone who has read this account will be able to direct me to a solution that will allow me to recover my previous Firefox and all the all the important information it contains. And, if that happens, then I will try to do something similar with my lost Thunderbird. Thanks for reading.

Hi!

Like the title says, is it normal to call upon the updater.exe under "C:\program files\mozilla firefox" if an automatic update fails to install?

Just went on a limb here and assumed that this was the case, the update log said it failed to apply:

Firefox 132.0.2 (20241110231641) Installed on: 13 November 2024 at 18:52:59 Status: The Update could not be installed (patch apply failed)

Current version running: 132.0.2 (64-bit), so I assume that the UAC prompt was a fail-safe of some kind?

Best regards, Kristoffer N

I use Firefox and Thunderbird for Windows and Android, they are my favorites, now I have been struggling with problems in the Firefox browser for Windows 7 with the Logitech G560 sound. Firefox is the only browser that doesn't work with Logitech G560, all of the competition works, I've read articles with the same problem on Logitech that can't solve the problem, because the problem is the Firefox browser, only this one doesn't produce sound from YouTube, Spotify and more ... Test to detect the problem and resolve it by updating Firefox, don't come up with experimental solutions because they don't exist. I'm waiting for help, thank you.

This evening I tried to watch my NFL Thursday night football game on my DAZN account. I got a message above the screen that said that FireFox needs to install something for me to watch this program. Two hours later it is still saying the same thing. This has never happened before as I watch NFL football throughout the season. Never have had a problem with Firefox until now. What to do??
