Dell desktop running Mint Mate 22. Bookmarks missing about 50% of bootups. Saved bookmarks to both HTML and JSON during an occasion they did appear, when they next were missing attempted to restore them via Library pop-up (Manage bookmarks). I could not determine a path to direct the system to either locally saved file. In Library, selected Restore, which then asks me to choose file, but none of the data fields accepted or acted upon input. re-installed Firefox but same result. Then clicked on the saved HTML file, multiple screens flashed on the display, with multiple items in the tray. The final result was the bookmarks were all displayed as expected, but since the problem has been inconsistent, unknown whether they will display on future bootups.
Wish to have guidance on using the Library pop-up to restore saved bookmarks when they are missing. Perhaps some knowledgeable user could post a step-by-step through the restore process.
Since the last update that changed what profiles we use to open firefox, I have lost all my passwords. How do I get them restored?

Hello, I'm wondering if someone help me troubleshoot why the normal or recommended password files recovery isn't working in my case, because it isn't. I've spent 2-3 hrs this evening trying to follow the normal/recommended protocol for recovering previous passwords but it's just leading me in circles, sans passwords being recovered. What usually happens is every couple years either my bookmarks file gets completely lost or - this is new - in this case my saved passwords are gone (possibly corrupted, I'm not sure). I think something might've been corrupted or reconfigured (I hope not "lost" entirely), attempting to install and use the Beta VPN. Ultimately it was just too difficult to get it to work simultaneously around Norton360, which I decided was probably better to just stick with for now. Out of curiosity, I was attempting to get the Firefox Beta VPN installed last night (and operational) and I think that may have been when the previous data was lost or reset somehow. I tried following the basic procedure to reboot FF from previous folder backup (to desktop, "Old Firefox Data"), but that merely reproduces the same "empty" passwords page when I try to open up my saved passwords. Neither of the 2 previous App Data locations seem to help rebooting from ("default" or "default release"), and I'm hoping against hope, at this point, that one of those old JSON files has all my passwords still in it, uncorrupted, but there are so many, I have no idea how to find my way to the correct one. In any case, my FF saved passwords were still fully available and working as of only a few days ago, probably this last Sunday evening, today is Wednesday of the following week. My previous saved Bookmarks are apparently still intact, and auto-loading as normal, regardless of which of the previous user profiles I'm rebooting FF with. If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it.

My Android Firefox bookmarks were never properly syncing from my desktop Firefox. Probably due to an old version on the very old computer (not possible to update). Those were the desired set.
Today I thought I'd be smart and make backups of the desktop bookmarks (both HTML and .json). Then I deleted all the bookmarks from my Android phone.
But I can find no way to manually import those backups to my Android phone! So now I have NO bookmarks.
Since sync doesn't appear to be an option, is there any way to get my bookmarks back?

Today I was prompted to restart Firefox. When I did, I got a homepage that said "Congratulations on 150 versions of Firefox" or something like that. Then I shut my computer down. When I booted it back up, ALL of my profiles, bookmarks and web history are gone. I can't find anything on my desktop to "restore" my old settings. I'm prompted to "create new" profiles. WTF is going on?!?!

bold textWhen I opened my computer this morning without warning the Firefox had a new default page and all my information was gone. I've tried deleting and redownloading and trying to follow the instructions on how to transfer the information, I could not get anything to work. I know I'm doing something wrong but have no ideas what I am suppose to do. Very disappointed I had some importat information on the desktop and would like to get it back.
