Hello! Is it possible to recover older open tabs from a broken device that had sync activated? For a while they appeared in the hamburger menu in the top right, but now they suddenly disappeared, and under the "connected devices" I cannot click the device or anything. It went broken 2-3 months ago. Best wishes!

I have tried to follow various help files, but can't recover any bookmarks. Everything bookmark related seems to have completely disappeared. I have the current bookmarks backup from my laptop, but when i go to the bookmark library and click on "import bookmarks from HTML" nothing happens. I am on an iMac OS 12.7.3, Firefox 150.02

So, whenever my Firefox updates, it seems that it completely wipes my history, and deletes all my tabs, despite it being set to "re-open previous tabs on launch".

This has happened multiple times now and is really not fun. Do I just need to make bookmark folders for everything I do? Because having everything randomly delete itself, without even a session restore in the backups folder of my firefox profile, isn't ideal.

I do have a sessionstore error for this, where I presume the problem is laid out.

Lost all tabs during an update including(weirdly) all theme stuff. Its not in the restore in history. But the themes part is the one that is strange, because why would themes change during an update, all while all my tabs are lost?

Firefox wanted to up date and I clicked okay. All my information still to be as it was but it didn't download when the computer came back up. How do I get everything back?

I've added my Firefox to a new computer and signed into my account. Cannot find my bookmarks. The only option I see is to import them from another browser (which does not have them). How can I retrieve them?

I had to do a refresh of Firefox to its default settings and have the copy of the old data folder sitting on my desktop. How do I restore it back to the state it was before doing the refresh ? Does this also restore the automatic login for sites where I had checked the "Remember Me" button on my initial login?

on my imac ventura 13 7 8 after a power outage my bookmarks vanished..follwed instructions to restore by going to menu,bookmarks,manage,and on library page after hitting restore nothing happens..please advise

Hello Mozilla Team,

I'll directly jump into - 12 years of Bookmarks and history are gone after the last update. No warning or anything. Can you help me restore? That's unbelievable.

i need help getting back my passwords after update. you deleted my firefox and installed a new one. if i knew my passwords would disappear i would have printed them

Sometime between 10PM 7/23 and 2 AM 7/24 I deleted my profile by mistake, and all of the data my browser collected has been lost. Passwords, history, cookies, chat logs, etc. No account sync, or official Mozilla profile until now.

Everything is gone and I don't know how to replicate the steps found in this video. Mac's don't conveniently show you things like deleted user data unless you know exactly where to find them. [|https://youtu.be/JWJwmKLqnZs?si=g_g47eHSwoB8XSL5]

I've already tried using Time Machine, but that failed spectacularly.

Current OS is macOS Tahoe 26.5.2, Firefox 153.0 (aarch64)

Hello all, i have a bit off an off one. I had a usb keyboard plugged into my laptop and and it had something sitting on it, I forgot it was there. I was using the laptop normal, and usually i use the CTRL and wheel on my usb mouse to zoom. But because of whatever buttons where pressed.. IT DELETED TABS(quite a few!)more thank the recent closed tabs could handle... i tired to do the session restore thing but im not super tech savy and messed that up.. But i do still have a copy of the json file thingy, but the backup thing got over written.. can i still recover with the one copy. The instructions are not the easiest to understand. Please help, i dont research and its been hard gathering that information. Thanks and if you need any more info just let me know!

You forced an update and all my open tabs vanished into thin air. I was working with those!!!

I tried to follow the history recover path, no-go. I tried the json file path and can't get Firefox to open the tabs in the json recovery file from a month ago, not that that would be helpful anyway since I want yesterday's before the update!

Now I gotta spend a lot of time finding those scientific papers again - should charge you my hourly rate for wasting my time.

It's sh.it programming that's what it is. Bet you they were using AI to do the update.

Well never mind, I've grown tired of Firefox anyway since it just starts using 80% of my RAM when I have more than 10 tabs open. There's other browsers.

Recently my installation of Firefox (Windows 10, 64 bit) updated. Now my bookmarks are apparently gone--or at least I can't see them. Furthermore, I can't bookmark anything at all, so I don't have the option of laboriously rebuilding my library of bookmarks. I don't know how to recover what I had, or even if I can at all. Nor do I know how to alter settings so I can add new bookmarks. Could someone please assist? Thanks.

I opened my computer after dinner and Firefox was gone and I have to start all over again! It wants a Mozilla account & sign in which I don't have. All my bookmarks are gone!!! It's all lost!!
