Hi,

I lost all my bookmarks and history after a firefox update. I saw that other people had the same problem. Even though I followed their instructions, I don't seem to able to restore them. Does anybody know what I could do next, please?

Thank you! M

What is it you tried to do?

Please explain the problem in detail. What happens? What is/are the exact error message(s) ?


What about the rest of your profile? Settings, bookmarks, history, passwords . . . .


Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox? Look inside. Look for the folder with the latest creation date.

Type about:profiles<enter> in the address bar. How many profiles are listed? How many should be there? Also, open the profile folder in your file explorer.

Hi,

Thank you for your help.

I have only profile, I checked.

I don't have any password stored so that's fine.

I have lost all bookmarks, history, library and highlights completely.

Shall I open the root or local folder on my only profile?
