Bookmarks and history not available
Running Linux Mint 22 on Dell desktop. On bootup, no bookmarks and message with link to restore them. Restarting computer sometimes works after multiple tries but often does not, currently on FF 138.0.3 but this problem has come up on several previous versions of Mint as well as FF. Now more frequent. No security or other software apps have been added or changed.
The last time I got the bookmarks to show I used the FF Save Bookmarks function to save them to a stick. That file shows on the stick as a .json file. Mozilla's choice, not mine. Manage Bookmarks in the hamburger menu generates a pop-up "Library" that will not access the .json file.

Again... ;-)) Try downloading Firefox from Mozilla. Download, unzip, and run firefox-bin from the folder and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release
Thanks for responding. From your link, clicked thru several provided links, reached a choice between Download and Set Up APT Repository for this Debian-based system. If I install a second instance of FF, what if any effect will that have on the currently installed instance? If two instances are installed, will I see two tray icons? Note- dealing with surgery this week, back to this problem when I'm able.
