I've used Firefox as my default for years and years. Yesterday I got some popover telling me I had to create a new profile or I'd lose all my Firefox data, history, bookmarks, etc. It would not let me avoid this. So I did. Still lost all my history, started over. Today it's doing the same thing. What's up? I don't want to move to Chrome.

Hi,

In the toolbar, click the account icon, select Profiles and try choosing every profile from the list. Doesn't one of them contain your data?

If not: Please go to about:profiles and check the profiles listed there (you can click Launch profile in new browser for each of them). If one of them contains your data, you can make it default by clicking Set as default profile, and it should start appearing as the Original profile in the new profile management system.
