I don't like the new release, so "downgraded" back to the previous version (88.0.1). The process forced me to create a new profile, and now I have lost all my bookmarks and history. How can I restore them?

I tried myself at about:profiles and chose "Launch profile in new browser" for what I suspect is my old profile. This again forces me to create a new profile, so that I cannot access the old.

I need my bookmarks back! Help very welcome, thanks!

Hi

Did you keep a copy of your old profile before you made those changes?
