The last 2 days Firefox has not been saving my open webpages

I checked my settings and it says I am set to reopen settings, but it is not doing it.

I do genealogy every day so I need my tabs to open...it lost the tabs I was going to work on the following day that I wanted to work on.

Also when I turned computer it wanted to make Firefox a default and it already is...It used to allow me to reload recent activity pages, but it did not after my Firefox crashed...it only listed about 10 pages,

I thought it may have crashed because I turned it off with 250 pages open, but it was very late and it would have taken me hours to look at all the open files

It took me a few hours to get some of the pages back, but I lost track of a lot of files I wanted to work on, but I lost track of many :-(

I am not a "techie" so I hope Mozilla support can get me back to being able to have Firefox save tabs again for me...I promise not to leave 250 files open again...that is the only thing I can think of that caused everything to crash

Thank you J

I'm sorry to say all my groups and tabs were not opened this morning, and the restore session option doesn't even show up in options!

The groups are not even in my history even though I used them yesterday!

How can this be?

I don't believe they're all gone. I know sessions are backed up...

Please help

thanks

I'm using firefox in ubuntu. A couple of minutes ago Firefox crashed. I restarted to a completely new Firefox. All my tabs, extensions, saved passwords, etc. were gone. This happened to me a few weeks ago. That time I found a solution: find a back-up of the old profile and manually restore it. I tried to reproduce that solution this time, only to find that there are no back-ups at all of my previous session. Is there a solution to this problem?

I've been a loyal Firefox user since version 2.0. but to this day you guys have not made it easier for users to restore Firefox profiles. We in 2026 should be able to do the following directly from the user interface of Firefox. honestly its really taken me a long time to voice this opinion but it makes the app a tad less user friendly. i mean its easier to import from another browser but you have to pull out and search all sorts of folders to import from an old Firefox installation or a windows refresh (windows.old). Please, please implement this ASAP. we users have waited too long.

1. display a list of profiles (even from windows.old after a windows refresh) 2. automatically import that information 3. append existing bookmarks from the bookmarks backup if i choose to. 4. be able to browse the bookmarks and show the most recently used ones 5. be able to even reinstall the existing plugins (this one is minor)

the image attached is exactly showing what happens after a windows refresh. this feature is also great for administrators.

The electricity here went out briefly. My I-Mac shut down. When the electricity came back on, the bookmarks were gone. And also, now I cannot bookmark anything-cannot initiate a new bookmark

bold textFirefox does not allow porting of bookmarks from one profile to another!!!!@!!!!!!!!! I can copy bookmarks to an external drive, but then how am I supposed to get them into another profile when the folder is the same as the one I copied--there is only one folder under library/application support etc. so doing it manually doesn't work; new profile gets error message, as account only allowed on 1 profile so Sync doesn't work.

Ok, I screwed up.

I was trying to solve a problem I've been having with regular releases of Firefox and it occurred to me try the ESR release so I downloaded and installed it. The good news is that it solved my problem, the bad news is that I just barrelled into it without thinking, assuming that my logins and bookmarks would just transfer over like with regular releases. They did not. It turns out I should have made a backup of those things first and I can't open the old regular release of Firefox to properly back-up those things now. Oops.

I've been reading lots of forum posts here and elsewhere trying to get those files into ESR and I haven't been successful. From the profile manager I've located the profile that still contains that info and I've tried:

Copying and pasting the "logins.json" and "key4.db" files from the "default-release" profile into the ESR profile which didn't work.

From "about:profiles" I also tried to "launch profile in a new browser" of the default-release profile so I can open that profile and properly back-up bookmarks and logins but I get a prompt to create a new profile which I tried several times and only resulted in several profiles of the ESR release.

Then it occurred to me that If I could just delete all instances of ESR and open the old default-profile then I could back-up the logins and bookmarks, THEN download and install ESR again and import those files but before diving into that I need to make sure that won't loose my original default-release profile info.

So experts, does that sound reasonable? Delete all instances of ESR so I can open the regular Firefox? What's the best way of going about that?

Thank you.

bold text'I am so fed up with these updates loosing my passwords and data, why ? All my settings are messed up and last time it took two weeks to get everything back, why? I give up total idiots for releasing updates that are sub par!
