Firefox Community Forum

I have no idea how my bookmarks disappeared, but I cannot locate any of them. How can I get, at least, my bookmarks from one month ago. Have an upgraded computer, new hard drives, etc. I've searched my computer, cannot find any bookmarks. Is there hope? Win `11

Firefox updated to v144.0 and deleted ALL bookmarks in the process. ALL troubleshooting efforts described by Mozilla are not accurate and do not resolve the issue. Given the >25% ratings on those trouble shooting pages, I'm betting a LOT of others have the same problem.

Can anyone provide ACTUAL help in restoring my bookmarks?

I lost all my bookmarks after updating. I couldn't restore them, and now I have to log in to all my accounts. Absolutely everything is gone. I've tried restoring bookmarks, but it doesn't work.

Why did I have to change my profile. I am afraid that now I have lost the password and bookmark library I have spent years building. Why? If I have lost everything I am dumping Firefox forever. This sucks!

The launch of Firefox Profiles seems to have obliterated everything in my account: bookmarks, history, open tabs, and extensions are all gone completely. I have an option to import files from another browser, but not from my own past firefox. I logged into my Mozilla account, but I didn't have any other devices so I think it was still unable to recover the data? Is there anything I can do about this, or is all of my data truly gone?

We have two Windows desktop computers. One still runs Windows 10 because it does not have the requirements Microsoft set for a Windows 11 upgrade. Recently Windows 10 was reinstalled on the Windows 10 computer, choosing the option to remove apps and settings. Firefox was reinstalled. It started without problem and continues OK. However there is a problem.

Before reinstalling W10, I had copied the Firefox Profile folder to a USB drive. More specifically, I have a copy of Roaming > Mozilla > Firefox > Profiles. Prior to copying the Profiles folder from the USB to the computer, I reread a couple of web pages, including Mozilla, about transferring Profiles. At that point I realized that I may have made a mistake. The web pages stressed that Firefox should not be running when the Profiles folder copying is being done. I’m pretty certain that I had not shut Firefox down. So I am writing this in hopes that someone will be able to tell me how I can replace the current Profiles folder with the folder that is saved on the USB. What follows is some information that I hope can be helpful. On the USB: The Profiles folder contains two subfolders. Each subfolder’s name ends with .default-thirteen digits, the first six digits being identical. The “Date modified” on one folder is a little more than a week old; the other is over 5 years old. On the W10 computer: In the Roaming > Mozilla > Firefox > Profiles folder, there are 4 subfolders: 1st. ~ .default-13 digits starting with 1597077, 695 Mb 2nd.~.default- 13 digits starting with the same1597077, 78 Mb 3rd.~.default-release, 130 Mb 4th.~.default-release, 90 Mb All “Date modified” are very recent, including one date today

So I’m hoping that someone will read this to be able to help me bring Firefox back to what it was before the W10 was reinstalled.

I was using a private window (a non private window wasn't open at the same time) with a ton of important tabs open when Firefox crashed. I desperately need these tabs back, is there some way to restore this session?
