I am not a fan of this new change. All my bookmarks are gone when I open Firefox. I want to see the news and not this; it's hard to find anything. The old Firefox I had two days ago was just fine. Someone always has to change something to make things harder for us old people.

Hi,

2 days ago, on 02.05,2026, I was logged out of all my accounts on every website in Mozilla. My history was erased, passwords not saved, but I'm still logged in. That only happened on Firefox, not the rest of my computer.

I am afraid it was a virus or something - can you tell me why it happened?

This problem has been covered in this forum before. However, the various solutions have not worked for me because it seems my backup previous.jsonlz4 was corrupted. I did exit Firefox normally, but I am not sure because I have been using multiple different browsers in recent months.

This is what happened this morning: my Firefox on Mac OSX was closed normally, and I rebooted the MacBook. Afterwards, I could not restore old tabs because "Recently Closed Tabs" and "Recently Closed Windows" are greyed out.

I tried copying recovery.jsonlz4 from the last folder and putting it into the main folder as sessionstore.jsonlz4, then reopening Firefox. Still have no restored tabs. Here was the surprise, which I do not know how to interpret.

I just checked some files and found this error message in sessionrestore-logs folder:

1770888233416 SessionStore ERROR SessionSaver write() rejected with error: Error: SessionFile is closed(resource:///modules/sessionstore/SessionFile.sys.mjs:424:29) JS Stack trace: write@SessionFile.sys.mjs:424:29 write@SessionFile.sys.mjs:47:32 _writeState@SessionSaver.sys.mjs:375:29 _saveState@SessionSaver.sys.mjs:308:17 _saveStateAsync@SessionSaver.sys.mjs:354:10 saveStateAsyncWhenIdle@SessionSaver.sys.mjs:194:14 requestIdleCallback/<@Timer.sys.mjs:180:15 observe@AsyncShutdown.sys.mjs:570:17

Every time I open my PC I get message - Firefox update available. Ignored it for awhile, the foolishly clicked "update." Got a new "profile" and lost all of my saved and autofill passwords but four. Makes logging in to frequently used sites almost impossible, extremely inconvenient. I do not want a new "profile." Need to recover-go back to the version I had before "updating."

Dell desktop running Mint Mate 22. Bookmarks missing about 50% of bootups. Saved bookmarks to both HTML and JSON during an occasion they did appear, when they next were missing attempted to restore them via Library pop-up (Manage bookmarks). I could not determine a path to direct the system to either locally saved file. In Library, selected Restore, which then asks me to choose file, but none of the data fields accepted or acted upon input. re-installed Firefox but same result. Then clicked on the saved HTML file, multiple screens flashed on the display, with multiple items in the tray. The final result was the bookmarks were all displayed as expected, but since the problem has been inconsistent, unknown whether they will display on future bootups.

Wish to have guidance on using the Library pop-up to restore saved bookmarks when they are missing. Perhaps some knowledgeable user could post a step-by-step through the restore process.

So every time the browser crashed or a blackout happens and it forced closed (sometimes the browser is closed normally and it still happens) the next time i start the browser it would show the restore session page. Pressing the restore session would just restore the open tabs and not the tab groups. Because of this i would need to go to the file manager, copy the previous.json and change it to replace the sessionstore. it's kinda annoying. is this problem just me or is this a known issue? also how to fix.

My desktop computer was infected with malware when I was called by a man supposedly from Paypal stating that I has been erroneously charged with over $600 of merchandise and he wanted to get information to refund the money to me. I gave him information (sadly) to enter my computer outfitted with Firefox running on Windows 11. After consulting my bank, they said that there was no way for Paypal to refund the money as he wished to do. Apparently he was infecting my computer while we spoke. I realized that is was a scam shortly after I hung up and shut the computer off. The next morning I took it to our local tech center and they 'cleaned' it. Now I find all of my passwords stored in Firefox are gone. Do you have a way of recovering them?

Hi, there.

After performing the most recent Firefox update, I was greeted with the "create a new profile prompt", rather than having it open my old one. When going to "about:profiles", ALL FILES in the Root Directory of my old, default profile have the same date as the update, or after. Not a single file is older than that and all my history and bookmarks are gone. The option "Restore Previous Session" was not shown after the update.

PLEASE HELP!!

Thank you.

PS: This happened on a Macbook Pro. All other profiles are the same as they were before the update, having kept all history and bookmarks.
