I wanted to open firefox and a new window for new firefox open but did not suggest me to sync my old bookmarks. instead it only asked me if i wanted to sync with chrome browser only. why was i not allowed to save old bookmarks before new firefox updated.

Hello eros.belio!

Please take a look at the profile and bookmark data. If those still in your local files there might be a way to restore them. Please confirm if you have the files.

Storage Locations by Operating System Windows: Firefox profile data is stored in two separate locations : Main profile (bookmarks, passwords, settings): C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile_folder>\ Cache and temporary files: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile_folder>\ macOS: Profile data is located at ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile_folder>/ Linux: Profile data is stored at ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile_folder>/

Once you've identify that there is data to restore you can see Recover user data missing after Firefox update Restore bookmarks, passwords, and data from an old Firefox profile
