Help! All my bookmarks have disappeared from the Firefox browser. I believe there has been a browser update done by Firefox. I found various ways to recover bookmarks and found a folder named 'old Firefox Data' on my desktop. But all files I try to import give me an error message stating that this file doesn't contain any bookmark data. I tried to import bookmark files and favicons.sqlite files. No luck. I now cannot access bookmarks accumulated for about 10 years. Really need to get them back into this new browser. Any advice highly appreciated.

I'm running Firefox 139.0.1 on Mac Sonoma 14.7.1.

Since FF V138, I've had this extremely frustrating problem where, approximately once a day and while the application is still running, Firefox seems to either auto-revert to an older version' 'or otherwise mess up the installation files. I don't get any notice this is happening until I try to open a new tab and it brings up the "You must restart Firefox" notice. When I click Restart, it pops up with "You've launched an older version of Firefox, so you won't keep any of your bookmarks because that would be unstable" error.

The only way I've found to fix it is to redownload the most recent install files, which, after the fresh install, will allow me to keep using Firefox with my bookmarks for the next 5-6 hours, before the whole process starts again.

I theoretically have auto-updates off; my settings are set to the other option, "Check for updates but let you choose to install them". Doesn't seem to make a difference. It only does this on my Mac; the FF install on my Windows machine works fine.

I really want to keep using FF. It's my preferred personal browser. But this is really messing with me! I was hopeful that 139.1 would fix it but same issue, so far.

After the last update a couple days ago Firefox does not come up correctly. Search doesn't work. Duck Duck Go seems to be the default search engine and Google is missing from the selection list when the left mouse button is pushed. I really don't know how to describe the problem. It does come up in troubleshoot mode more-or-less correctly. Something odd happened during the update. A screen came up with some sort of message about having run into some sort of odd problem and that it would have to stop and restart the process, which it did. Hasn't worked properly since.

I "create a new profile" days ago what I first received the notice to update. It seem to work except when I click on a url to view. I received instead the notice that I am in the old firefox and to "Update". I did again and it seem to work until I clicked a url to view and again received a notice to "update by creating a profile.

It's very frustrating - Now I can't open firefox at all. It wants me to "fix it" or create a new profile"

Hi there.

The original problem is described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1472503 ( Also the solution I found.)

Jaws and James seem to have left the building.

This problem first occurred with the update from V 135.0.1 to V 136.0 . Currently on V 136.0.4, and every update has exhibited the same behavior.

I have the same issue with two laptops, running Windows 10. Each has been through a few update cycles, and the "Restart to Update" always fails.

So, I close FF, watch for the Resource Monitor to quiet down, and reopen FF.

When I go through this sequence, I notice that the screen will flash once VERY quickly before opening the home page.

FF seems to function normally otherwise.

Thanks for being there,

Lately when I manually check Firefox for updates. From the menu Help, then About Firefox. It will download the update, ask to restart Firefox. It will restart Firefox, but NOT install the update. It continues to fail to install until I close Firefox myself, wait a good minute, then load Firefox again and it will install the update. I can make this happen to every computer with Firefox installed.

Every once in a while, Firefox stops allowing me to navigate to any new websites, instead giving only a page that says:

"Restart to Keep Using Firefox

An update to Firefox started in the background. You’ll need to restart to finish the update.

Your windows and tabs will be quickly restored, but private ones will not."

I have automatic updates disabled in Firefox settings, and I have gone into about:config and set app.update.auto.migrated to false, and yet this issue persists. It seems like Firefox is ignoring my preferences. I don't wish to restart Firefox while I'm in the middle of a bunch of work. How can I get past this message and continue using Firefox without restarting? Do I need to delete update files or something?

This random surprise block to my work is ridiculous. We need the flexibility to update/restart Firefox only whenever we're ready to.

A new issue with Firefox. I download updates myself, not automatically. This morning after updating, I clicked to restart Firefox, and it restarts, but still shows that it needs to restart. Even after multiple attempts. How to resolve? Thanks

All I have is an older windows 7 dell laptop and firefox was working ok but then it said firefox must be updated by march 14 so i clicked on the update but it has been over 24 hours and the little circle is still going around with 0 results why

I read there is a need to immediately update Firefox. I down;loaded it, but got a message that a newer version exists...? Also, it shows my latest update was 11/24. I use auto updates and recall one much more recently.(in fact I found the new tabs annoying) I am perplexed.

Good Morning! :)

I have a note book HP, which windows operating system was erased back in the past, I happily use mozilla. This device I use it exclusively as a monitor to watch TV.

I got the notification of the Mozilla update, I have downloaded many times in the laptop: firefox-136.0.1-tar.xz However does not run or execute the file and update the system and laptop. I am able to open the file, but that is all.

Please let me know what I am doing wrong to fix it.

Thank you very much for your attention
