Blank page when I click on new tab
I have recently reset Firefox and reinstalled my favourite theme plus Zoom page WE. These are the only extensions I have. All my passwords were lost and when I click on the + sign for a new tab all I get is a page with the tabs I already have open and a search bar. How can I get the thumbnails back so that I can click on my favourite sites? Also is there any way of getting the passwords back?

Hi, looking at your Taskbar, I don't think Windows explorer.exe is running properly. So close Firefox, click the Start button on the Taskbar and restart your computer - hopefully that will fix it and restore your passwords, but if not, please see -

Thank you. I got the tabs back ok by restarting the laptop but I can't work out how to retrieve the passwords from the files. The data is encrypted. I may have to put them all in manually and save them again.
Hi, you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem. Never work with original files.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
Thank you. I decided to enter all the passwords in manually in case the files in my old profile are corrupt. Hopefully it won't happen again.
