Firefox: форум сообщества

уже второй раз браузер закрывается и при новом открытии все закреплённые вкладки исчезают, из-за этого уже думаю поменять браузер, потому что восстановить даже из бекапа не получается

Moving Firefox over to a new computer, I know how to find the profiles via file manager- that is not my problem. I am not sure which to move, Local or Roaming. I am thinking Roaming as that has all my bookmarks and passwords. I have moved individual files from Roaming and do have bookmarks and passwords working on new computer.

But I was thinking it would be best to move the whole thing so I got the tabs that should be used on startup and maybe more I don't know. So I don't know if I should copy both over or just one. I did try both once and Firefox said it couldn't find profile (I renamed the old ones).

Thinking I may need to use about:profiles and select new one. Not sure what will happen, hope it lets me point to new file on my USB drive. Looks like I should use both local and roaming, but don't know? Local might be something that relates to hardware on computer.

Hope this makes sense?

On the page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-restore-browsing-session-backup , I'm flummoxed by the meaning of bullet point 10. It reads: "Copy your chosen file into the main profile folder. (Not the original sessionstore-backups folder, but the one above it.)"

What does 'above' mean here? Copy it into the folder that holds the original 'sessionstore-backup' folder? Seems an odd thing to do, given that there is no file with a similar name sitting loose within the Profile.

And I have tried that and it doesn't seem to work. Just want to check I'm reading this correctly before I persist. Thanks

Hi I have lost all my passwords and bookmarks.

Going into Time Machine, I wenk back a week, highlighted the Firefox app, and hit the restore button.

So far, so good.

When I tried to open it, a message was displayed: Using an older version of Firefox can corrupt bookmarks etc already saved to an existing Firefox profile. Create a new profile.

I tried to create a new profile without success. The page displayed did not explain how to do this.

TIA.

I was using Clean My Mac and it recommended that I clean some files that Firefox was using. I did not realize that one of them was my password file. I rely heavily on Firefox to fill in passwords. Is there anyway to recover the file? I do have Time Machine backups on my MacBook.

I've been backing up my opened tabs for the past 4 or 5 years with the steps in this legendary post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1257866

But this time it failed me and I don't know why. I just switched from Debian to Linux Mint, put everything up to date, but when I copy the sessions-store folder back into my session folder, as described in the post, nothing happens. I tried restoring only the 2 files listed there, and also dropping them in the general user folder, outside sessions-store, but still nothing. I've also noticed that the sessions-store folder isn't created automatically, even if I open a bunch of new tabs now and close the browser.

I don't even know how to begin troubleshooting this to be honest, this is the first time this method's ever failed me :(

I also saw this post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-restore-browsing-session-backup But it doesn't help either.

I was browsing web pages and wanted to bring up a previously visited page, but when I went to my browser history, there was absolutely nothing. I had at least half a year's worth of history and now it's gone. How can I get that history back? For reference, I am using the latest update on a Win10 OS. I want to get this back, because there's a lot of pages I'd like to revisit but now cannot.

I have 100's of bookmarked sites from over 10 years ago, you're new update lost all of them!! I never did a backup becuase this has never happened before. I'm panicking as I need all that information ASAP. Please help.

I've lost everything in bookmarks. The toolbar. The general bookmarks. Everything. Could this be because I tried to download Claude on my new mac mini. Help please. We only use firefox. All the time!

Good afternoon

Copied Firefox profile in W10

Pasting into Profiles folder in W11 but it won't let me do it. See attached.

I have enabled LongPaths in the registry but that hasn't solved the problem.

Please advise Michael

Greetings everyone,

Earlier, when I opened Firefox it didn't restore the tabs and windows I had been using from about 2 weeks ago. I tried looking in "History" in the Firefox menu but it only displays tabs and windows that I've closed and it doesn't have the tabs and windows I had actually open.

I've had the same Firefox settings since I first installed Firefox a few years ago and this is the first time this has happened... :'( :'( :'(

I must have had about 70 Firefox windows and even more tabs within those windows so this really hurt me... :'( :'( :'(

Thank you for any help!

I have spent the last half hour searching with Google and on Muzila help – everywhere that I can possibly think of and every combination of words and every hit I get that supposedly is the instructions on how to recover sync by entering my account recovery key NEVER leads to a page where I can enter my account recovery key.

HELP!

Thanks!
