"how to revive return all 124 tabs of prior sessions ? in Firefox...older version ? please help. & How to avoid if close by mistake 1 window with all ....vs 1-2 tabs only ? " HOW revive replace lost all tabs 4 days ago ? '

- I am logged into my accounts on both devices (PC and mobile) - I have pressed the synch buttons on both devices multiple times - nothing happens

This is not the first time that Firefox has refused to synch my tabs or has had terrible delay in synching my tabs on different devices and I am at my wit's end. I have no idea what the issue is. Can sombody explain to me what is going wrong?

We deploy Firefox via a software called Pulseway and last night it reinstalled Firefox over the current installation for one of our users. When he logged in this morning, all his data was missing from the browser as it appears to be a fresh installation. I'm unable to find his previous profile in the AppData folders (checked by going to about:profiles and opened each profile). There is no backup for this info, and he did not have a Sync account set up. Is there anywhere else I could possible recover this data for the user? Thanks in advance.

I was working in Firefox for windows with several tabs open. After a computer restart, my Firefox browser reopened but none of my (many) tabs would reload. I closed Firefox and attempted to restart it by using the "restore previous tabs" function. Instead of opening, I received a small window pop up with error message about "older versions of Firefox yada yada" with two option: create new profile or Exit. I click exit (which closed the window) and tried restarting Firefox again, but received the same error. This time I selected the create new profile button. Firefox relaunched but, not only did the "restore previous tabs" option disappear, my browser history was completely wiped. Is there any way to recover my tabs/previous session?

Thank you, Justin

My email inbox show no emails in it. My I phone shows over 8000 emails in my email account. In the old Firefox page, all my emails are there on my computer, but not in the new . How do I get all my emails into the new Firefox email inbox? Thank you.

My computer died. Luckily I had all my Firefox passwords, favourites etc synced with my account. I got my wife's old computer, fired up and logged into Firefox expecting it to sync all of the data from my account onto this new computer, but, it seems to have now backed up all the data from my wife's computer and overwritten mine. Is there any way I can recover all of my original stuff please?

When I tried to open Firefox it said "Platform version :130.0.1 is not compatible with minVersion >= 130.0 maxVersion < 130.0

I would like to find the thousands of bookmarks I have saved over the years and get my old setup back up and running.

Thank you to anyone who can help.

I had to buy a new pc because my old one died suddenly and after logging into my firefox account on the new one it won't sync my old data from my account so I can't access my bookmarks. Everything shows up one my phone and sync is turned off on it. I can't find a way to export the bookmarks from the phone and I'm afraid to turn sync back on because I'm worried it will just erase all of my data to match the new pc. How can I export the data from my phone or ensure that sync won't delete it all?

I'm considering taking in my computer to be checked up and have the fan cleaned, but I don't want to just leave my firefox as it is with accounts logged in and autofill information available, should they be able to get into the computer software (I have it set to require a pin/fingerprint to log in but feel like that could be circumvented). I also don't want to risk losing all my passwords/bookmarks/etc. so I'm unsure how to approach it.

If I log out and delete sync data, will logging back in restore my bookmarks and passwords or do I need to back them up some other way? Will just logging out of my Mozilla account be enough to prevent access? Would it require clearing something to log out of everything and then log out of Mozilla?

Any help would be very appreciated!

Hello,

I have signed in to Firefox on both my new and current profiles (Thinkpad using Windows 10). I created a new profile to fix a problem so I want to copy everything from the profile I use to the new one, which I will use from now on.

I am signed in on both profiles, I see my Bookmarks and passwords, but I don't see open Firefox windows and tabs on the new profile.

What needs to be done to duplicate it exactly on the new computer profile?

With appreciation,

Mark

PS. Firefox is my default and I love Thunderbird more than any web email or client. So I donate monthly.

On other browsers, such as Opera and Brave, when watching a video, and then closing out of the browser, and later coming back to the video, it saves the timestamp at which you closed out the browser (or goes back around 10 seconds). On Firefox, this doesn't seem to be the case. Is this intentional? Can I enable this somehow?

(Btw, I know that there is an extension for this specifically for YouTube, but I'm referring to other streaming sites, and just videos in general)

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hi, I'm trying to sign-in to my firefox account from a different device (mac) and after I synced my profile all I see is bookmarks from another browser and no previous firefox data. I'm at a different location and I don't have access to my main computer. I've tried all the possible suggestions and its not working, I'm how could it work if the backup if stored in a physical device which I dont have of. I thought the syncs were cloud based and can be accessed from anywhere and now I'm stuck. Also, on the connected device section, its not showing my main computer; only my current pc (mac) is visible with latest backup of today - 22 Sept, 2024. Are my bookmarks completely gone?

Is there any work around for this?

Thank you.

I sync between both my phone and my pc, my phone is constantly up to date on my tab syncing however my pc is constantly lagging behind by a couple of weeks.

Steps taken: exited and reopened firefox clicked Sync Now button on the pc in both the sidebar and in the sync settings logged out of and back into my firefox account on my pc

I would like to delete this question as I was able to solve the problem with the information provided on this page which was very good. I had tried to follow the directions but had failed to complete one of the processes satisfactorily due to an oversight (I didn't select correctly), and I restored the bookmarks to the latest backup, which was with them missing, rather than to the previous backup, which was the complete list. I also have been unable to find how to delete this question.

After a recent cookie and unwanted stored browser data clean-up by my antivirus, Total AV (it was one of those pop-ups that recommended that you cleared out your accumilated browser junk, and it would not delete anything important), but since it was completed, I have discovered that when I click on a saved bookmark, the site selected does not open in my browser.

I started up Firefox on my Windows 11 machine and everything is gone, open tabs, bookmarks, history, passwords. The app as acting like a fresh install. It was working fine in my previous session a week ago prior. That was also the last time I started up my laptop.

Is there a way to get Firefox back to the way it was? Or at least get my information back?

This is really frustrating. So I have been using ff sync for 20 years and have never seen anything like this. I sign into ff sync and it appears to work, but then my browser does not actually start syncing. I try again and again. Same thing. I even tried to sign in on my android phone. Same thing! It signs in to accounts.firefox.com just fine. Otherwise I 'd not be able to be logged into this forum... But my browser is not signing into sync.

What the heck is going on?
