I had already done as Paul suggested, but there was only one profile listed, named Default. I have found the place where the profiles are stored, and I have a private back-up (.json file). But none of this is useful if Firefox won't open the Choose File window from the Restore option in Library. What else can I try?

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.

FIrefox version 145.0.1 on a Windows computer.

Recently, whenever I open Firefox all my bookmarks are gone.

Booksmarks Toolbar is set to Always Show.

The only way to make them show is to uninstall and reinstall. And I have to do this every single time I turn on my computer. Getting very sick of this very quickly.

My bookmarks and history disappeared from my mobile Firefox. Maybe because I took some permissions away? Not sure why that would destroy a few years history and bookmarks I count on being visually impaired.

Any way to get them back, thanks for your help!

Hi, there.

After performing the most recent Firefox update, I was greeted with the "create a new profile prompt", rather than having it open my old one. When going to "about:profiles", ALL FILES in the Root Directory of my old, default profile have the same date as the update, or after. Not a single file is older than that and all my history and bookmarks are gone. The option "Restore Previous Session" was not shown after the update.

PLEASE HELP!!

Thank you.

PS: This happened on a Macbook Pro. All other profiles are the same as they were before the update, having kept all history and bookmarks.
