I updated Firefox to 145.0 this morning, and after Firefox had restarted, it had lost all bookmarks and the bookmarks toolbar. I have spent all day following links to correct the problem and got nowhere. I have restarted Windows and Firefox countless times - no change. I've even tried reinstalling Firefox over the existing version. If I go to bookmarks > manage bookmarks > restore and backup, sometimes that will load, others not. When it does load, it fails to find a file to restore from. 10 years of bookmarks, links & research vanished.

Can someone please provide a solution (preferably in Layman's terms) to this??

I'm trying to restore bookmarks after latest update. I get to the Import and Backup dropdown and pick Restore. there is nothing listed. I can go into my "C" Drive and find my "bookmarkbackups" folder and see the files. How can I get it reinstalled?

this is the second time when i turn on my laptop and open firefox but the tab section gets glitched with spaces between multiple tabs and when i restart the browser, everything is gone

I am trying to recover a FireFox session from a backup of my C:\ drive from a few months ago, but I am blocked by "access denied". No matter what I have tried, access is always denied. I an using FireFox version 149.0 on Windows 10, and am trying to manually make the substitution in the folder C:\Users\...profiles\318tzbcg.default-release\sessionstore-backups.

I have tried the substitution with FireFox totally shut down (checked in Process Explorer) and even after a reboot. I am blocked from copying any of the current files to another folder or to rename them (as a precursor to (hopefully) replacing them), much less over-copying them with files from my drive backup.

I have tried from an this with CMD (run as administer) in my normal user account (which has admin privileges anyway) and with an actual Administrator account. In my User account I have verified for the properties of the Profile and sessionstore-backups folders that all of the accesses are ticked as allowed for write and read (except Special Access is not ticked). The section with the tick boxes is greyed-out (with those boxes checked), and I cannot untick any of them or put a tick on Special Access.

(I am writing this from a different machine, so have not clicked the Share Data button (troubleshooting information) on this submission form, but can provide that later from that machine,)

What can I do to get the needed access (permissions) to substitute a recovered sessionstore.jsonlz4, recovery.json4lz or previous.json4lz file?

CCleaner wiped out my bookmarks and their functionality. I have repaired, then uninstalled CCleaner. I have refreshed, uninstalled then reinstalled Firefox. I have logged in and out of Firefox. I have made an HTML file of bookmarks from another device in order to try to import them. Firefox bookmarks will not proceed to an upload stage. I went into setting to add the HTML of bookmarks and it said "this is not a bookmarks file." Well, Firefox made that HTML bookmarks file so I have no idea how that could be. Nothing I have tried has worked.

Basically, I reinstalled Windows, and I had all my passwords and stuff on my Firefox beforehand. Now, I don't remember my accounts password, and not the security key either.

Upon restarting my laptop earlier today, I realized that ALL my Firefox bookmarks have disappeared into thin air. Gone (or, rather, "empty") is my bookmarks toolbar, and my bookmark menu, and everything else. What to do? Thank you.

w11 on laptop. Cleaned PC using CCleaner. Restarted windows. Launched Firefox and only 1 tab with calendar opened. Went to History but no indication of the previous session available. ?

This is the message I get when I try to access my Bookmarks: "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem." I have already tried to find out from Microsoft if their latest reinstallation of Office Professional could have caused the problem. They say they have nothing to do with Firefox. How can I get my Bookmarks and History back?

Thank you to JBR, who posted an answer to your question "All bookmarks disappeared. I found my json backup files. How can I import this file into Mz, now that it has created a new, dysfunctional 'profile' ??"

Unfortunately, the reply does NOT help. I have been through all the posted replies to missing bookmarks, and NONE help.

On my own, I found the bookmark backup files, and noticed that ONLY the newly imposed profile has any of those files. So I have access to those .json files, but my question remains: HOW to get that file back into Mz????? None of the posted replies, including your own, even pose this question. In short, after the newest Mz update, the 'restore' or 'import' bookmarks function(s) DO NOT WORK AT ALL!!!

I am sorry, but this problem appears to have been caused by Mz and its latest update; it's for Mz to fix, ASAP !!!

Perhaps I should mention, I'm far from computer- or OS-illiteracy, and am getting ever more fed up with software 'developers' who keep adding more bells and whistles which degrade functionality. I'm a long-standing touch-typist and am significantly faster than any OS's directory trees. Forget AI, I've no need of it.

With sincere best wishes, despite my current frustrations,

Firefox updated. I know no longer have access to my bookmarks, saved links, and passwords. How do I revert back to previous version of Firefox? How do I retrieve access to my passwords, bookmarks, and saved links/pages? I will need easy step by step instructions.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I am attempting to copy a FF profile from a Windows 11 machine I created it and am using it on to a brand new windows 11 machine on which I have also just installed FF on. Both machines are at FF 150.0.3. I have done a search online for the methods to do this but they have both failed for me.

The first one I tried was simply copying the profile from the existing (source) machine to the profile folder in the new machine however FF never recognized the copied profile on the new machine (I am using profile manager on both machines).

I then tried copying the profile using the method we used to use a while back to copy profiles which is to let profile manager create a new profile in the new machine, open FF so that it creates that new profile in the profiles folder then delete the contents of that profile leaving it as an empty profile (with the name of the newly created FF profile). Then, I selected and copied the *entire contents* of the source profile I was trying to copy and pasted them into the newly created profile I had just zero'ed out on the new machine so that the new profile now had the exact same contents as the source profile. I knew this copy was successful because it took a while to copy all of the data from the source profile to the new profile and the indicator showed it copying.

Again, FF did not recognize the new profile when I opened FF with the name of the new profile in the prof mgr.t.

Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong or what the problem may be? One problem I had when I first copied the source profile to my 32GB USB drive was a message saying "inbox folder is too big for destination system. " The source profile is 12.72 GB so there is plenty of room on the USB drive for it to fit. I have no idea why FF would have an inbox file so I just skipped it. The rest of the profile copied to completion once I did that but its size after copying was now only 7.65 GB, about 5 GB less than the original. Could this be my problem and if so, how do I fix it? Thanks for any help.

hello,

I want to transfer my profile from an old laptop to a new one. i am not comfortable with uploading my passwords to the cloud as i do not understand how this is safe. i made tar.gz file with the entire profile, almost 1gb and put that on the new laptop. edited the profiles.ini and install.ini and expected the profile will load, but firefox simply does not work in that profile. it cannot browse and clicking the menu button in top right does nothing. Please, help. If I share data below that is the working profile, not the one that fails.
