Firefox Community Forum

I need my original Firefox account back the way it was. I have no bookmarks, no open page when Firefox opens, and none of my tabs are the same. Please put it back; I don't know how to run my computer this way.

After the most recent Firefox update all my bookmarks were scrambled. For example, when I open one marked Bank of America, I get Go Daddy. How do I restore my bookmarks to what they were before the update?

I have been using Firefox for years. I am not tech savvy. A very tech savvy member of the family recommended firefox years ago (and now says we should use Brave or another).

Does anyone run Firefox? Why is there no contact centre/people? Why do other members have to answer questions? The reason I am losing total faith in Firefox is that it must made me update and restart and every open window I had (and the tabs on each window) have been lost. I cannot retrieve them, which I have always been able to do via "Restore previous sessions". There was so much important information on those windows and tabs from way back - too far to shift through the history. Can anyone give me one good reason to stay with Firefox? Thankfully, there are many browsers to now use. Firefox has perhaps just become a habit and one I should have changed a long time ago. Thank you.

I moved and when I restarted my computer in the location, I had lost all my bookmarks. The note said foxfire is in use by another application. What other application and why did it destroy my bookmarks?

This is not so much as a help request as a suggestion, if someone can forward this along....

I depend on containers since they were introduced. I see now that they can vanish and are not synced nor can they be easily backed up. I have lost customer accounts now because of my dependence on containers. Had I known they could vanish, I would have continued using different profiles.

Please add a warning for those who depend on containers so that they do not end up in my predicament or remove them entirely or at least do not add them by default.

My bookmarks have not appeared . I have wasted 12 hours x 2 days and followed your instructions . I have not been able to find my bookmarks . I have noticed this is a common and chronic problem with many users . After donating money for years this is very diisappointing.

My Bookmarks (> 100) suddenly became corrupted yesterday while I was browsing. They don't go to anything that they are supposed to. There is no backup profile listed to recover. What do i do short of manually typing in all those bookmarks? Windows 11, No edge but I can use Chrome

Our power went out this am and turned off my computer. I am unable to recover my Firefox bookmarks. I've done the Manage bookmarks, but when I get to Library there is no Import/Backup to click on.

I'm using Firefox in Windows. I lost all of my bookmarks... never mind how, I think I can prevent it from happening again... and I'm trying to figure out whether there is a way to recover them.

Looking in the profile folder, I see three profiles. One is listed on the about:profiles page, and is identified as the default. The other two aren't listed there at all.

I need to select each of those other two and see whether my bookmarks can be recovered from them. But how. The about:profiles page has a button for creating a new profile, but not for adding an existing profile to the page. Either it's listed there or it's not.

It seems to me that I could create a new profile and make it the default folder, then quit Firefox and replace it with a copy of one of the profiles I want to investigate. However, I lost my bookmarks by doing something similar to that, so I'm wary of doing it again.

Can someone explain what is happening here--why there are three profiles in the default profile's folder but only one list listed, and why there's apparently no provision for making Firefox list the others?

Firefox lost all saved passwords and tabs. There are no other profiles on my system. It is like I just loaded a new version for the first time. Hopefully something is saved somewhere. I thought these were all saved to my profile but not anymore.

Firstly I have lost my default,. I had it set up as google . next I lost all my bookmarks, I have also lost the bar I had which included bookmarks history etc. this all happened in the middle of using a program and now I cannot get it back. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS HAPPENING

I thought I was updating firefox today but the process lost the order of my book marks and makes them extremely hard to find. Some I used several times a day with one click. Now it takes me five clicks just to get to them and then a search. The old system worked perfectly for my purposes. Is there anyway to get back the old bookmarks tab and my old bookmarks in relatively decent order? The text promised me all my bookmarks,etc. I never would had clicked refresh if I had any idea this would be the outcome.
