I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN, I HATE HAVING EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY TABS DISAPPEAR WHENEVER IT CLOSES WEIRDLY AND I LITERALLY CANT RECOVER ANYTHING, AND IT GIVES ME SOMETHING NEW, WHAT THE HELL EVEN IS THIS FIRST FILE, I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN THAT JSONLZ4 FILE E V E R!!! AND WHEN I TRIED TO DO THE SAME METHOD OF REPLACING THE FILES WITH ONE OF THE OLD RECOVERY FILES LIKE IN MY OLD QUESTION, IT DOESNT FUCKING WORK, SORRY TO SWEAR BUT ITS UTTERLY RIDICULOUS DUDE!!!

While launching Firefox VPN browser all of my bookmarks were erased. Additionally, my backup copy of my bookmark records was also deleted. I have not been able to reboot or restore the system. I need help.

I deleted my history and it also deleted all my information. I cannot sign into any thing because it is not sending the code to my phone. Even on other browser I cannot get any infomation because the code is not being sent go my phone and I cannot use my email because I cannot get a code to open it. Please Help.

Zniknęły mi zakładki (nie ma ich ani na pasku, ani jak wejdę w zakładki- w ustawieniach i w zarządzaniu zakładkami). Hasła te co były zapisane mam dostępne na moim koncie.

I am changing from Win 11 to Linux Mint and want to use as much of my Win Ff profile there... What can I trnansfert, and how, where will I find Ff extensions for Linux?

Thank you

Basically, I reinstalled Windows, and I had all my passwords and stuff on my Firefox beforehand. Now, I don't remember my accounts password, and not the security key either.

I have recently purchased a new Windows 11 computer, and want to install Firefox there and transfer all my bookmarks, passwords, etc. There are obviously quite a few Support articles on this topic, and seemingly quite a few methods to use: copy and paste profile folder, sync, the backup/restore function within Settings, etc. I'm a bit reluctant to use sync, as some users report it can be an incomplete transfer. My current profile also may contain some "corruption", so I'm reluctant to copy the entire profile folder to the new computer.

Comments by esteemed and superb contributor cor-el in this Support article: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1454070] therefore may be my best option. He wrote:

Note that best is to avoid restoring a full profile folder and only restore important files that are safe to restore/transfer.

   bookmarks and history: places.sqlite
   favicons: favicons.sqlite
   bookmark backups: compressed .jsonlz4 JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder
   cookies.sqlite for the Cookies
   formhistory.sqlite for saved autocomplete Form Data
   logins.json (encrypted logins) and key4.db (encryption key/primary password) for logins saved in the Password Manager
   cert9.db for certificates stored in the Certificate Manager
   persdict.dat for words added to the spell checker dictionary
   permissions.sqlite for Permissions and possibly content-prefs.sqlite for other website specific data (Site Preferences)
   sessionstore.jsonlz4 for open tabs and pinned tabs (see also the sessionstore-backups folder) 

My questions are: 1. Why is it "best is to avoid restoring a full profile folder"? 2. Is this the complete list of "important files that are safe to restore/transfer"? 2. In my profile folder, there are several files that start with the same file name, but then have different file extensions. For example: cookies.sqlite, cookies.sqlite.bak, cookies.sqlite-shm, cookies.sqlite-wal. Should I restore ALL these files, or just "cookies.sqlite"? 3. Is the correct procedure to copy the selected files from the "old" profile, and then paste them to the "new" profile, which presumably would overwrite files of the same name in the "new" profile? Thanks!

FireFox browser closed and when I opened it all my bookmarks are gone, all of my history is gone everything is gone as though I never ever used firefox in my life.

Since Firefox automatically updated (14.0.1) on my MacBook Air (2025 model) several weeks ago, the Bookmarks and History functions haven't worked. Can anyone suggest how I can fix this?

So far hate new Firefox that I have been forced to switch to - very annoying and such a waste of my time trying to sort out my bookmarks. May make me switch to Edge or something.

Followed the instructions - C:\Users\name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ - found a backup but no information as to how to get the bookmarks into the new Firefox?????

Many of us are older users and perhaps not so savvy as to how to do this.

And so it would have been nice if Firefox could have been more "nice and be specific" with this forced change over.

Thank you

Hi, ok, so my computer just randomly updated my Firefox Browser and now all of my bookmarks, saved passwords, extensions, themes, and history is gone. I used the links on the support website, but they were not helpful at all. I am logged in with the same account I was originally logged in with prior to update 149.0 (logged in with gmail). When I sync data in settings, it automatically imports my Safari and Chrome information (which is not what I want). I try to import my bookmark and password history from the saved HTML and CSV files under Mozilla Firefox, but I don't have the ability to do so, as the files are essentially 'greyed' out. I have tried every step to troubleshoot and every link that is related to my issue listed on Mozilla's support with no success. I have even searched my issue on Google and Reddit. Please help!!
