I pressed the backup button to backup my firefox stuff before switching to linux, and now that im on linux the file i was given a docx file, is completely unusable to restore anything, meaning that about a dozen of my accounts are completely lost, I did not do anything to the "backup" file besides put it into my google drive.

I'm using Firefox 153.0 on a Windows 11 desktop. I'm trying to use the feature that backs up my profile (bookmarks, history, and other data). When I turn Backup on, I'm asked where to store the backup, and I accept the default of putting it on my OneDrive. When a backup begins, an empty folder named "Restore Firefox" appears in my OneDrive, as expected. Firefox shows a message like "backup in progress." After a minute or so, the "Restore Firefox" folder disappears. After another minute or so (not immediately), Firefox tells me the backup failed and that I should try again later.

I assume the backup failed because the folder it was trying to use isn't there, but why did it get deleted?

There is ample space on my OneDrive and on my local system (100s of GB). I am using the ESET security software package, but it did not raise any warnings or errors.

For some reason, firefox keeps asking me to backup my info to "get ready for windows 11" [see attached image]. I have back ups disabled, I don't want to have firefox back up my information.

I click the [x] and it just comes back with every new tab.

Stop. [Expletive]. Harassing. Me.

Saving restore points for browser sessions

Hi, I recently had a situation where I closed my browser, and when I opened it back up all my tabs and entire session was gone. There was no option to restore via any of the common or traditional ways. This was honestly traumatizing because I've put so much work into the setup of my tabs/folders, etc., for work purposes. SO MUCH TO LOSE. I ended up finding a partial restore deep in the files on my computer, but it missed the past 6 weeks, which I could never recover.

I'm sure I'm not alone - I've seen many, many posts and people talking about this. I think it's extremely important for Mozilla to ensure that the option of restoring browser sessions remains a reliable one, as many people have important work info, etc.

MY QUESTION: Is there a way to manually set a restore point? In other words, I was able to find the files from the browser session, saved up until 6 weeks ago, but no later than that. So, it's clearly saving sessions somewhere... I'd think it would be easy to prompt it to save at that current point in time asking it to save. Anyone know if possible and how?

Thanks
