I have a situation where I constantly have to send tabs from mobile Firefox to desktop Firefox. So I use Send tab to device feature. But when sending, manually clicking on the Synchronise now button in the Account menu of the toolbar of the receiving device is often needed, or else it would take a while for the tabs to be received. But I find that annoying and unintuitive.

Is there a solution for it? For instance, syncing Firefox devices more often, maybe just for the sending tabs feature because sync-now also syncs history, and bookmarks.

I opened my Firefox this morning just to be greated with a pop-up that said something like "do you want to refresh Firefox" I clicked no but i guess it didn't care because it refreshed it anyways. Post-refresh my Firefox was blank with none of the settings and custom css it had before. I then tried to fix it by pasting all of the contents from my 'Old Firefox Data' file into where they would be in this new one. Long story short, I tried to open Firefox and all that comes up is "Profile Missing, Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It is missing or inaccessable". I just want everything I had before how do I put it in? I've attached screenshots of the error, Old Firefox Data, and Profiles. I'd be very thankful if anyone can help because i just really want all of my data back

Hello- seriously doubt there is any help for this, but I can't be the only one this has happened to:

I wanted to delete the last 2 hours of a firefox session only- the session has been ongoing for a month, with 100 of what were - to me- important tabs open. Session Restore on FireFox was turned on and it always works.

But tonight, I wanted to delete only about last 2 hours of history. So I thought to use the FORGET button. I set the app to 'forget' the last 2 hours of browsing history. And hit the button. and: ALL tabs- All tabs- every one for last month- Gone in a blink. Gone.

Perhaps the onus is, at least inn part, on me: This exact issue happened to me before- but I guess i had cast that soul-killing memory out of my mind; at least, till a few years later, tonight, when it just happend again.

But- It's been years !! And the forget button is still a catastophic trap, still luring fools like me, hiding in plain sight as a button on FF toolbar. That's true- right on the toolbar is a helpful, harmless-looking button that can ruin your life.

A catastrophy that has been built into FireFox for years- and still not fixed.

I did think that if the button had a problem years ago - and in a different version of Windows [last time it happened I was using XP], must be fixed by now- Honestly- I did think that.

-Has anyone else experienced this utterly demoralizing experience with FireFox "forget"?

-Is there any hope to recover the last session? [There are NO Profiles at all now, saved in the "Profiles" folder]

Again- any hope? Anyone else have this problem?

It's been years! Why is this MAJOR minefield even still prosperng in Firefox?

"how to revive return all 124 tabs of prior sessions ? in Firefox...older version ? please help. & How to avoid if close by mistake 1 window with all ....vs 1-2 tabs only ? " HOW revive replace lost all tabs 4 days ago ? '

- I am logged into my accounts on both devices (PC and mobile) - I have pressed the synch buttons on both devices multiple times - nothing happens

This is not the first time that Firefox has refused to synch my tabs or has had terrible delay in synching my tabs on different devices and I am at my wit's end. I have no idea what the issue is. Can sombody explain to me what is going wrong?

We deploy Firefox via a software called Pulseway and last night it reinstalled Firefox over the current installation for one of our users. When he logged in this morning, all his data was missing from the browser as it appears to be a fresh installation. I'm unable to find his previous profile in the AppData folders (checked by going to about:profiles and opened each profile). There is no backup for this info, and he did not have a Sync account set up. Is there anywhere else I could possible recover this data for the user? Thanks in advance.

I'm considering taking in my computer to be checked up and have the fan cleaned, but I don't want to just leave my firefox as it is with accounts logged in and autofill information available, should they be able to get into the computer software (I have it set to require a pin/fingerprint to log in but feel like that could be circumvented). I also don't want to risk losing all my passwords/bookmarks/etc. so I'm unsure how to approach it.

If I log out and delete sync data, will logging back in restore my bookmarks and passwords or do I need to back them up some other way? Will just logging out of my Mozilla account be enough to prevent access? Would it require clearing something to log out of everything and then log out of Mozilla?

Any help would be very appreciated!

When I tried to open Firefox it said "Platform version :130.0.1 is not compatible with minVersion >= 130.0 maxVersion < 130.0

I would like to find the thousands of bookmarks I have saved over the years and get my old setup back up and running.

Thank you to anyone who can help.

I sync between both my phone and my pc, my phone is constantly up to date on my tab syncing however my pc is constantly lagging behind by a couple of weeks.

Steps taken: exited and reopened firefox clicked Sync Now button on the pc in both the sidebar and in the sync settings logged out of and back into my firefox account on my pc

I started up Firefox on my Windows 11 machine and everything is gone, open tabs, bookmarks, history, passwords. The app as acting like a fresh install. It was working fine in my previous session a week ago prior. That was also the last time I started up my laptop.

Is there a way to get Firefox back to the way it was? Or at least get my information back?

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?

Hi Team,

The sync function like sh!t.

I install with apt-get, download source, or install using snap,

When I logged my account. click sync, data does not sync.

Waste my time a day to find the resolution.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any other methods of recovering lost tabs after Firefox lost them all?

I've recovered the JSON file within the session file of FF which once scourged shows all the URLs and registers they are all there - however every method to try and get Firefox to load from this JSON has refused to work.

Any methods or advice would be appreciated greatly.
