Firefox Community Forum

Hi! I reached out on Friday and was sent a code that expired in 5 minutes, missed the deadline and had to leave the library. I updated Firefox to 155 and can't find my bookmarks. Also found that a Microsoft update included Goggle Chrome that I uninstalled. Please advise on getting my bookmarks back thank you. I only have 30 minutes left on line. Thank you for all the work you volunteers are doing, greatly appreciated! Mark

My previous session is not clickable. All 50 or so tabs are gone!?? HELP! How do I restore a previous session w/ older tabs? (History doesn't show tabs from months and months ago).

Hi, I wrote about a month ago and didn't get help in recovering my lost bookmarks. I've spent the month looking at .JSONLZ4 files to see if there was anything there, nothing I could find. I've gone through all the suggestions and haven't found the bookmarks. I have limited time on line, and appreciate the volunteers' time in addressing this issue, any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thank you! Mark

i accidentally uninstalled Firefox and lost my session, i have Tab Session Manager but it seems that the uninstallation also deleted the saved sessions in there...

can anyone please help?

I run normal firefox on linux. Fully up-to-date. Every time I quit the app, it reverts to a version of my profile from a month ago, and loads all the tabs I had open then, and then receives all the tabs that I sent to the device in the interim (~1 month). As I speak, it just caught the 60 or 70 tabs in this window.

I tried changing the name of my profile folder to randomstring.defaultOLD and changed one of the backups to randomstring.default. This didn't change the behavior. I'm still stuck in the loop. I saved my tabs with onetab, because firefox isn't remembering my session anymore. I thought it was something to do with updates, like it only loses its mind upon updates, but that's not true. It thinks it's updating firefox EVERY TIME, because the one time it's loading to 1 month ago it was updating, but I'm 100% sure there are no updates to firefox in my linux. It's just hallucinating.

The articles on restoring from backup are outdated. They say to use an html file. There is no html file. It's just folders for profiles, not html files. HELP!

I'm the kinda person who avoid getting updates cause don't fix it when it ain't broke, but they fix it now it's broke.

My Firefox automatically updating itself to version 157.0.1, which is a normal thing, but the unnormal one was that my tab groups are gone entirely. Like there are none left, which is weird knowing unwanted updates happened in the past with no meaningful changes to me, but this one did, albeit more displeasing.

Is there a way to restore all of my tab groups back? Thanks

Firefox updated without my knowledge, and all my data, including passwords and bookmarks, disappeared. My profiles still exist, but everything else is gone. I couldn't recover my data manually or through about:profiles. When I first opened Firefox and saw that everything was missing, I was prompted to import from Chrome and did so, so now I'm wondering if that messed things up. I just want my passwords back!!

I switched to Firefox from Chrome as my computer is too old (OS-High Sierra) and wouldn't support Chrome any more I've had to restart several times and each time I reopen Firefox, all my tabs are deleted. How can I prevent this and/or restore my tabs?

firefox updated and only kept my tabs but didn't keep history or cookies, when i tried to revert the profile to the old data it cleared the old data and made a copy of the new profile with nothing saved, can i somehow get the old data back or is it lost forever

COPIED FIREFOX BOOKMARKS FROM MY HP COMPUTER TO MY DELL LAPTOP BY COPING THE HTML FILE OF BOOKMARKS TO MY DELL LAPTOP DESKTOP SCREEN AND IMPORTED THEM FROM THE DELL LAPTOP DESKTOP AS ADVISED. STILL DID NOT GET ANYTHING COPIED TO THE NEW FIREFOX INSTALLATION EVEN THOUGH IT STATED IT HAD COPIED 827 BOOKMARKS. NOTICED THAT THE FIREFOX SOFTWARE INSTALLED ON MY HP COMPUTER STATED THAT IT WAS WINDOWS 10 INSTALLATION. ORIGINALLY THE HP WAS WINDOWS 10 BUT UPGRADED IT WITH FREE MICROSOFT WINDOWS 11 BUT DID NOT UNINSTALL FIREFOX FROM IT AND REINSTALL FIREFOX AFTER THAT. THEREFORE THE FIREFOX BOOKMARKS ARE FOR A WINDOWS 10 INSTALL ON THE HP COMPUTER AND TECHNICALLY NOT A WINDOWS 11 EVEN THOUGH THE WINDOWS OS HAD BEEN UPGRADED TO WINDOWS 11. SO, I GUESS TO PERFORM THE ACTION I STATED ABOVE TO UNINSTALL FIREFOX ON THE HP COMPUTER AND REINSTALL IT ON THE HP COMPUTER IT IN ORDER TO GET IT TO WINDOWS 11 FOR BOOKMARKS? HOPEFULLY I WON'T LOSE THOSE FIREFOX BOOKMARKS?
