I lost my latest bookmarks of 1-2 days after restarting my computer, I could only see the bookmarks of 2 days ago.
After restarting my computer, I lost all bookmarks of today and yesterday. This incident happened twice this week.

I refreshed my Firefox but the bookmark file the Help Document said would be in the Old Firefox data folder is not there. As you can see in the image I do not have a file called "places.sqlite". I only refreshed Firefox under the indication that I would not lose any of my bookmarks (they would be saved and I could get them back).
I had many bookmarks. Are they lost now?

Saved passwords have disappeared
At least half of my saved passwords have disappeared after whatever change was made to how they are displayed. NOT HAPPY at all with all of the new changes.

All of my saved logins are gone without a trace from all of my devices. I haven't added any new device and haven't changed sync settings recently, haven't even added any new plugins. They were all present a day or two ago and I noticed something was wrong when firefox stopped autofilling the login data. is there a way to check what's going on and what caused this? and also how to I get them back?

This is linux so the AVG problem doesn't apply.

hello
since last week, my saved logins have disappared. I tried with a win10 system recovery (there were 2 timestamps available): both didn't work, linked to a problem with Firefox profile (but error message doesn't show up fully so hard to see what is wrong).
Via shadowexplorer, I was able to export the following files from previous system recovery backups: key3.db key4.db & logins.json .
If I copy these to a new (or existing profile), the logins.json file is renamed to logins.json.corrupt
I have seen that there was a similar problem with AVG-users, but I run Comodo internet security premium...
Any clues how to retrieve the logins??
thx in advance!

I have had to reinstall Firefox after a system restore on my lap top and can't find my bookmarks. I note I have two profiles but I can;t find my bookmarks in either. Hope someone can help. Getting frustrated. Is there any way I can chat or talk to someone in support?
After Firefox updated a few days ago, all of my bookmarks disappeared. I have tried to get them back, but nothing has worked.
I have tried a number of recommended methods, and nothing has worked. History does not acknowledge anything before the Firefox update.
Hi, AVG user, passwords have dissapeared again. Followed the last fix process with the add-on, but not worked. Any ideas folks? Thanks Eden.

As I said, firefox determined it was opening slow and wanted to restart so I let it and it wiped everything out.

As above. FF installed the update despite the checked option to NOT install automatically. NO "old firefox" folder was created-anywhere. No other profile is present that has the old data. My adult daughter's grad school laptop. Years of bookmarks, logins and I do not know what all ARE GONE!! I allowed FF to download but NOT INSTALL-since it was not my machine and I wanted to avert any disaster (I, in fact, looked at the options first, to make sure) NOW WHAT?? Is that is a bug?? Why was there no "old FF" created? Why did it install regardless of instructions to the contrary. Is there some other place to look? She does not seem to have any automatic backups for FF profiles.

I shut my computer down for a day and when I came home and started it again and opened firefox it was like a completely new install of firefox. It didn't restore my previous session, all my defaults were gone, all my bookmarks were gone. I have no idea how to restore any of this any why this happened. Did a bad update get pushed or something?

Is there anyway I can recover them.
You have to understand that I don't understand anything about code.
I am 61 years old and you and google and MS are making it more and more complicated in the name of BS safety
I have ESET Internet Security and addons that block popups and dangerous websites.
I suggest you offer a browser that is easier for me to understand.
My computer was destroyed when I installed the Windows 1903 update.
Then I accidentally deleted all my files ,and I didn't have a hard disk backup
Is it possible you can send me all my bookmarks from 12 months ago
Or give me instructions on how to recover without being too complicated
Please send the details to my gmail account xxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx
I only use xxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx for Youtube
sincerely

My Windows 10 desktop system recently suffered a serious failure. The SSD C: drive suffered some sort of catastrophic fault, and the device is completely unresponsive and it's contents are unrecoverable. All of my data files were on a different drive and are backed up in multiple places, but all my app config files stored in the appdata directory--including my Firefox profile--are gone forever.
I replaced the drive, reinstalled Windows and all my apps, etc., etc., including Firefox, which synced with my Windows laptop and everything is just about back to normal. EXCEPT that all of my 50 or so open tabs from that machine are no longer available. From the Synced Tabs list on my laptop, I can see an entry for the newly restored desktop system, but the tab list for that device is empty. In the Devices & Apps list on my Firefox Account page, I can see entries for all of my devices include TWO entries for the desktop system, the newly restored system as well as the old pre-crash system.
So the question is this:
1) Does Mozilla store the open tabs list for that system on their servers; and
2) Can I recover that tabs list somehow?
Thanks in advance. --scott--

Hello.
In organization we like to use Firefox as default browser. But we have a every day problem with profiles.
After update, Firefox create new profile and not copy user data to it. So user lost hes tabs, extensions, history and e.t.c. We can see two or more profiles for one user.
For example user logon to computer with Firefox version 68.0.1. Firefox automatically update to 68.0.2, and user now have new profile without custom data.
profiles.ini looks like:
[Install308046B0AF4A39CB] Default=Profiles/6qa5a710.default-release Locked=1
[Profile1] Name=default-release IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/6qa5a710.default-release
[Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/xu3ic03g.default-1561039332923 Default=1
[General] StartWithLastProfile=1 Version=2
We create powershell script for workaround issue. Script copy files from privies profile: $profileCurrent\*.sqlite" $profileCurrent\sessionstore.jsonlz4" $profileCurrent\extensions\*.*" $profileCurrent\*.json"
You mast know that in organization we user roaming profile and ue-v, so users can logon on any computer. Some computers can be with older Firefox version like 68.0.1 or new one like 68.0.2.
Please help find solution for this issues. Can Firefox account help with this? Or we mast create some more clever script?
Thank you.
