Hello Mozilla Support, I enabled Settings → General→ Open previous windows and tabs, but after restarting Firefox all of my tabs were unexpectedly lost. I’ve confirmed the setting is still enabled, restarted Firefox and PC and checked History → Recently Closed tab with no luck. Why wasn’t my session restored? How can I recover my lost tabs? How do I ensure Firefox reliably restores my tabs going forward?

I rebooted and launched FF, I was asked if I wanted to Refresh. Naturally I declined because I'm not an idiot. Now all my addons and passwords are gone. I would love to have them back since I never asked for them to be deleted. I don't have an "Old Firefox Data" or whatever folder on my desktop, would have been cool for them to leave that there when they clobbered years of data and customization because Firefox thinks they should have more control over my PC than I do, but they didn't. Is there any way to get these back?

I want to synch the bookmarks on my new Android phone to those on my old Android phone. Whenever I try to use this facility it seems to synch with my desktop, which I don't want. What am I doing wrong, please?

Thanks, Phil

sorry - looks like my WiFi connection to the desktop was kicking in rather than pairing with the second phone. No need to respond to this query but I am not sure how to close it.

Hello,

as the title suggests, I moved my whole profile folder to a new PC, and have since formated my old PC. I just noticed that the key4.db file is missing from the old profile folder. I have followed all instructions I managed to google, which ensured that it was enough to just copy over the old folder content into the new one, nowhere was it mentioned to look after if a key4 or key3 file are present. How is it possible that multiple of your support articles don't mention this? I am now stuck with only a json.login file from my old profile and no way to import my saved logins to the new PC.

i specificly have a firefox acount soo i can acess my bookmarks if something happens to my pc. now that it did and i had to format it, unfortunatly i forgot my password. i didnt even try any false ones couse usually you can save your Data by verifing your acount over emeil when requesting a new one. but after doing that its all gone. 10 years of bookmarks gone. how do i get back my bookmarks? i never agreed to this kind of security feature. i dont think its agood thing, and i never saved any infos that could get misused if stolen so such a feature as earasing my data is unwanted.
