After being nagged to update to the latest version of Firefox, i did so thinking all the windows and tabs would be restored. I have been thru multiple updates with with no problems in the past. I have been through most of the self help but nothing works. The restore last session is greyed out.

I do not speak geek.

Two days ago my Firefox icon in the dock looked very different there was an added something. I have not been able to restore my bookmarks or my sidebar and I'm now wondering if you're update did this. I want my bookmarks back in my bookmark side bar please tell me how to get it. Control B does not do it. I am legally blind and this is especially difficult for me. I don't want to have to sign in with passwords and numbers and letters something you did on your end wreck this website for me Carol Cummins

on my previous computer, I used firefox without an account. I uploaded a zip file from my desktop using Firefox. I'm wondering if there is any chance that zip file is still accessible and whether there is a chance it can be retrieved?

I opened Firefox this morning and there were no bookmarks or history. After looking online, I came to the conclusion that I needed to find the places.sqlite and bookmarkbackups files and folders. However, I can't seem to locate either.

I am running Firefox v153.0 (aarch64) on Mac OS v. 26.5.2

I have Time machine backups, but I need help locating the correct files to restore. Thank you.

Sometime between 10PM 7/23 and 2 AM 7/24 I deleted my profile by mistake, and all of the data my browser collected has been lost. Passwords, history, cookies, chat logs, etc. No account sync, or official Mozilla profile until now.

Everything is gone and I don't know how to replicate the steps found in this video. Mac's don't conveniently show you things like deleted user data unless you know exactly where to find them. [|https://youtu.be/JWJwmKLqnZs?si=g_g47eHSwoB8XSL5]

I've already tried using Time Machine, but that failed spectacularly.

Current OS is macOS Tahoe 26.5.2, Firefox 153.0 (aarch64)

After the last few updates I have lost all of my bookmarks, I don't understand how this could happen. The bookmarks that currently populate my side bar are either inaccurate or empty. I'm flummoxed and frustrated and angry. Is it possible to recover past bookmarks - say a specific date?

I spent almost an entire day setting up my firefox browser shortcuts, themes and extensions on my laptop. It was exactly how I wanted it. Now it is all gone! I had not written all the web addresses down. how do I get them all back?

Hello, I am requesting assistance recovering my original Firefox profile. My original Firefox installation unexpectedly disappeared from my computer. Believing I needed to reinstall it, I accidentally downloaded Firefox from the wrong source. I was eventually able to recover my Firefox profile, but Firefox repeatedly crashed afterward. To resolve the crashes, I uninstalled Firefox and then downloaded the correct version from Mozilla's website. After installing the correct version, my original Firefox profile is now completely gone. Before this happened, my Firefox profile contained all of my saved passwords, bookmarks, browsing history, and folders, including important folders such as Bills and Jennifer. Those folders are no longer present. I would like to know whether there is any way to recover my original Firefox profile or restore the missing data. If there are any recovery methods or diagnostic steps you can provide, I would greatly appreciate your assistance. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Jennifer Harbaugh

I had many work tabs open when I left the office yesterday. The update that occurred overnight closed and erased my current window, and now the "restore previous session" option is not available. These were collected over months, so the general 'history' page is not helpful in this instance. How can I restore my previous session and get all my open tabs back that I had yesterday?

I have tried restoring my bookmarks using these steps but it doesn't work. Specifically, when I try to select "Choose File" in Step 3 nothing happens. The option will highlight, but when I click on it no window to choose a file pops up. Is there any other way to restore bookmarks using a json backup?

My bookmarks list has inexplicably disappeared. It might be related to the fact that I briefly switched to Google Chrome to connect to a Facebook Zoom meeting – although I've done this several times before without any problems. So, what can I do to get my bookmarks list to reappear? I hope it's not too complicated! Thank you for your advice!
