Somehow I lost all my Firefox bookmarks and passwords when computer was rebooted with a Windows 10 restore point. I am having difficulty installing an old firefox profile into the new Firefox browser. The Firefox Trouble Shooting suggestions are very confusing and hard to follow with lack of step by step detail. Help!

I had to reset my firefox password. When signing in, the account is not synced (no extensions, history, bookmarks etc) and acts like it is the fresh instance. When manually syncing, it spins for a second then stops. Says it last synced 1 second ago. I see no data otherwise. Does resetting password seriously remove all data? What is the point of recovering the account if it gives you a fresh account anyway? There was a disclosure that mentioned some data, but not even including bookmarks or extensions is a little upsetting for me. Disrupted my work day quite a lot.

Hi,

I have 3 firefox clients two private ones and one on my office computer. Between all client I want to synchronize bookmarks, ... except the Add-ons. Add-ons should only be synchronized between my private computers as per company policy some Add-ons are not allowed. It would be nice to have a per client synchronize setting to switch of synchronization of the Add-ons only for my company client.

Kind regards, Tolotos67

HI! I have my phone synced to my destop firefox, and just synced my laptop, microsoft windows 11.

everytime I want to access a synced page, like gmail, or my trading brokers page, it asks me to login again, so its synced, but have to relogin every time I open the firefox browser, or even when I simply close the tab. I never have to log in repeatedly on the desktop.

Also, my favourite extension Tab Stash, is missing features in this firefox browser. I have tested everything to get it to work, including clearing the cache, restarting. normally you can right click a firefox tab like the attached image, and choose "open Tab Stash in a Tab". and other options. but they dont show in this synced version of the browser. Very weird and frustrating. I must get this to work as I manage hundreds of saved tabs and folders through Tab Stash which is only available on Firefox.

I dont know how to contact the extension creator, I cant see any contact link on his gitHub.

Had to restart my computer because it froze, but when i open firefox all my tabs are suddenly gone, this has never happened before and i do force restart my pc plenty of times.

the "restore previous session" button doesnt even show up in my menu; my about:profile page doesnt show or open my previous activity; and all my files in the sessionstore-backups folder are way too small and recent to be holding my old tabs ( i had over 300 open)

What can i do?

‘After I bought a new Dell computer 11/23 I lost all my prior FF bookmarks that I used for years. Is there a way to get them back if you have a record of them?’ Thank you for any help.

I do a lot of research, and may have 300 - 400 tabs open. 2. I needed to do a clean install of Win 11, so I saved my open tabs as bookmark, I checked and they were all there. I also saved the folder from AppData Roaming - Firefox\Firefox\Profiles\ivdajzll.default-release\sessionstore-backups. Only when I open a tab with about:sessionrestore, the below Restore Session button is grayed out.

I then exported my book marks as an HTML file. I installed FF, opened up bookmarks manager, and chose to import from html, pointed to my saved file and selected open, nothing happens. When I look at the side panel in bookmarks manager, my book marks have not been added.

2. I also tried the second option by opening Settings / General / Import Data and Select the Bookmarks from HTML file option. I point to my saved html file, it spins for a few seconds, says success and I click on the Done button, still my bookmarks have not been added.

I have a profile backup from C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles and i have copied. trying to paste in another machine doesn't work. Could you kindly help me to restore the profile.

I'm doing a research paper with about fifty open logged in tabs. if I sent each one, one at a time, and re-logged in from all my tabs on my tablet/phone it would take about a half hour at least. What's the deal? I used to be able to do this. But now... there's no "sign in and sync" like the web help says. There's no "right click on the device" like Google says, there's nothing like what Bing says to do. Are you telling me that since tech and data has INCREASED, that abilities have DECREASED?! Please don't give me the diatribe that "it's a security issue" because it's not. Syncing is password protected. I'm on a windows surface pro tablet, I've tried it on my desktop, too. I've tried it on my galaxy s23 ultra phone (not the source of the tabs) and on my galaxy s6 tablet. nothing.

I have mozilla on my pc , i use it without an account And i have many bookmarks and links i don't want to lose If i signed up now can i backup my data and save it into my new account without losing it

Ubuntu 22 LTS, Firefox 131.0.3 (64-bit). My machine crashed last night, but when I booted it this morning to start figuring out what's wrong all my windows/tabs came up. (I have at least 6 windows (for organization of my) hundreds of tabs.) After 6 or so reboots (testing various usb device plug-in configurations) I'm finally done, but now only have 1 blank firefox window. I created an account for syncing so I wouldn't have to redo all that when I upgrade OS periodically; however, I didn't think this would happen, so I didn't sync before this.

I would REALLY like to get my windows/tabs back in the configuration they were. Under 'manage history' there's an import/backup option, with restore; under that, it shows Yesterdays Date with 563 items, but clicking on 'restore' for that tells me it will replace my bookmarks file...

And I don't know how to retrieve the previously synced data, having only used it in the (presumed) other direction.

Any clues welcome!

I went to use Foxfire this morning, it had an update for me, I clicked on it......and FIREFOX DISAPPEARED ! It then gave me the above notification. Also, now when I click on my Firefox Icon, it shows me a blank form that is trying to load something on it, over and over and over........

I have refreshed, tried troubleshooting, restarted several times, etc, etc. I am afraid to try reloading Firefox for fear of losing all of my data....passwords, library, bookmarks, downloads, etc...etc.

Now what do I do?????

Thanking you in advance.......Janice in northern Minnesota, near the Canadian border.......

I am trying to sync Firefox data to new computer. The Mozilla account only allows me to sync mobile devices. Online instructions do no match my version of Firefox 131.0.2, Ubuntu 24.04.

i had setup a new windows and when i tried to sync my Firefox data i found nothing and all my bookmarks and passwords was lost.

i need you support to recover my data.

Dear Firefox,

I have just reinstalled my operating system after some issues. After reinstalling my browser, I logged into my browser after changing the password, but now no data is being synced. The open tabs, bookmarks and saved passwords were the most important, but none of that has synced back. After waiting for a little bit I decided to press the synchronize now button, but that also didn't do anything. Is there perhaps something wrong with the syncing right now? Or is there another way to get that data back? I didn't save it as I normally don't have to.

Thank you for your reply!

Kind regards, Lili
