and

This has happened several times in the last 4 months or so, it had never happened prior to that and I've used Firefox for years. It now occurs when I open Firefox after my computer has either been shutdown, or the computer does a restart. I am signed in to my Mozilla account.

My laptop unexpectedly closed Firefox after it crashed and upon a restart I re-opened Firefox, which normally restores all my open windows/tabs from the very last session no problem whenever it force quits due to laptop crashes. But this time when opening, it restored windows/tabs from almost a month ago. I closed Firefox and checked the sessionstore-backups folder: - the recovery-backup files are from the session date I just re-opened with old tabs - the previous.jsonlz4 file is from about a month ago and seems to be the reference point used when restoring tabs rather than my actual last session

Is there any other file or method I could use to recover my actual prior session tabs before it crashed?

I have not re-opened Firefox since quitting the browser after seeing it restored the old tabs.

Thank you in advance!

I accidentally uninstalled firefox and need to recover passwords and bookmarks. Can this be done? I run an old dell latitude with Windows 10 and was trying to cleanup apps running in background at startup since it was running very slowly. At one point I saw 2 firefox icons. Uninstalled one and lost everything. Can you help me. Michael Evans

Wieczorem po zakońcaeniu korzystania z przeglądarki jak zwykle wyłączyłam. Następnego dnia postanowiłam go uruchomić i nagle wyskoczyło mi jakieś okienko profilu co zignorowałam bo dla mnie ta funkcja ejst bezcelowa. Przeglądarka się odpaliła ale już bez moich danych - rozszerzeń, historii, a co najważniejsze bez zakładek! Konto mam zalogowane ale nie potrafi mi tego jakoś przywrócić.

it's my fault and i don't know what i did: set FF to always restore previous session but closed several multi-tab windows when tabs were restoring, including - i think - truth.social.com, which was carrying one of those windows, possibly misusing the restore all tabs selection.

the best way to help is for you to draw a picture of me, deleting by mistake, and then reporting to you.

i will continue on my own, reviewing the "help" focusing on "restore", and will put as many tabs (ugh) back in windows they belong in. don't worry. it was me, and the effort will be worth it.

thanks for everything moz and FF.

Hello, I never sign into my account when browsing but I've had bookmarks for years. This last update, they all disappeared. I read about profiles and looked at them but it is gone.

I signed into my account new and still no bookmarks. Is there anything else to do or they are gone?

Interesting that Microsoft updated also and my documents folder is no longer linked with the My Documents icon. I have to go to the C drive to find users and then my documents. I don't know if that's related.

I guess I have to stay signed in so Mozilla can track me.

Thanks, David

I recently upgraded Firefox to 145.0.1 but all my bookmarks are missing. I have a backup file. I tried to restore the bookmarks by opening the Library & selecting Restore (under Import & Backup), then clicking "Choose file". However, nothing happened; no further pop-up window. Please advise.
