Firefox Community Forum

I have researched and use a few articles about recovering bookmarks from an old firefox. Either I am doing something wrong or I can't get the suggestions tp work. Please help this senior citizcen.

I Accidentally signed out of my account and then had to change my password, now all old passwords and bookmarks are gone! Help to restore please. Now when I sign in, it's with the new password and I can't access any of my old back-ups.

hi there,

so i use tab groups extensively, for example I'm a freelancer working for many clients on many projects per client, so I open a group per project and have windows with stacks of groups and then just dip into the stack as needed for whatever I'm working on that moment.

Usually I'm good about closing firefox down so it remembers my tab groups the next time I boot (my mac OS Tahoe). However I was trouble shooting a piece of hardware that required me restarting the mac many times in a row and once it was all done about 6 restarts later, my windows with stacks of tabs were gone. Firefox had remebered some groups, but lost 70% of my tab groups, which is just a huge waste of time, I'm never going to go back and re-open tabs from months ago i.e. I can't remeber what i was browsing for which is why I save tab groups duh, so I just need this to be more robust.

Please write a big fat file of every group somewhere and make it recall the damn list on next boot, or 20 boots later. The only way it should delete a group is if I manually decide I don't need it any more and purge it from my library.

Just having the history is super useless, I'm not gonna waste more than 10 seconds looking at the thousands of tabs in my history trying to recreate my groups, just no way, I have to move fast I'm always on deadline.

Please and thanks!

I've spent decades developing my bookmarks. Now they're gone and I want them back. No complicated steps to edit profile, etc should be necessary. I don't have time for that. Just restore them, please.

Somehow I got signed out of my account (no idea how). I've reset the password using the account recovery key. You sent a new recovery key but I seem to have lost that before I could save it.

Hi, I recently had to restart my computer and made sure that Firefox settings were 'open previous tabs on startup' before I shut down Firefox. I had about 30 tabs open, which were important and that I could not bookmark separately in time.

After the restart, I opened Firefox to be shown a screen that said 'Your Firefox has been updated'. None of the tabs showed up, so I closed and reopened Firefox, but am just shown a blank tab.

Please help, how can I restore my previous session with all the tabs?

I really need help with it.

Thanks

Hi, I've accidentally created a new profile and I totally didn't know what was happening as I've had this internet browser setup for years and didn't even remember creating a profile. That's why I ended up deleting all profiles thinking that's how to get things back to how they were but now everything is gone, years worth of saved bookmarks, passwords etc. It only happened recently and I have not restarted my laptop, not emptied the bin folder etc. Is there any way to recover my profile? I'm on a Mac.

Firefox wanted to up date and I clicked okay. All my information still to be as it was but it didn't download when the computer came back up. How do I get everything back?

the new Firefox was delivered without my permission. It is ugly in the green frame. The bookmark tool bar is nowhere to be seen. I cannot work without the old toolbar as No I have to find passwords and addresses for about 12 VERY IMPORTANT SITES I NEED EVERY DAY.

I can't restore my tabs and groups from the last time, the last time i used to have a lot of tabs and groups of taps for my studies and the my mac wanted to do a u[date so it shut all apps running in inculdeing firefox and I can't recover them. even so it's not shown in the browsing histroy

Hello There,

Since your upgrade to the new version of 154, Having a huge problems. Couldn't log in to various accounts. The most problematic one is to getting in Costco, Etsy and Ebay. Etsy and Ebay has been fixed after a week but Costco one is not. We can't log in and if it allows somehow to login then can't check out. It sits there and comes back to the same page. Won't move forward to the payment page at all. To make it from bad, worse to worst - this morning my wife uninstalled the Firefox and installed it back. That's where all the problems started. Now we lost all the "bookmark tabs, login and everything". We are exhausted and very angry. There's no help line to pick up the phone and get a quick help. So please send a suggestion list to recover the old version or at least all the old bookmark and log in from last 20 years. It'll be highly and hugely appreciated. Thank you.

Michael

P.S: We are also very old folks. Do know much about IT, so please educate and or guide as like a 10 years old.

Hi ! I recently decided to go to my account page on Firefox and check my informations. I decided to remove my recovery mail but that's about it. Then an update came right after and logged me out so I just reconnected. At first, everything seemed fine, exept that I had to log in all of my accounts again (gmail, website accounts, etc.), but then I realized that my containers disappeared as well ! What could be the cause and is it possible to recover them somehow ? There was a lot of saved content on it ;(

(PS: On the other hand, my extensions didn't change, they are still active)

Thank you for your support and have a great day ~
