I used Firefox yesterday. My settings are to open Firefox with tabs restored - but all my tabs (as they were yesterday) are missing and when I go to history, the option to restore a recent window is greyed out. The option to restore a previous session doesn't even seem to be there.

I notice in task manager I have 15 firefox tasks. Could my window from yesterday have opened somehow in the background, but not be visible to me anywhere?

FF 153.0b4 this time, was only a few months ago when FF did this same thing last time! But now its an updated ver and still messing up! It's getting more bloated (But most software is) and trying to do to much and things are going WRONG alot more often. FF (Mozilla) used to go years between data losses and now it's MONTHS! Get your act together Mozilla.

    FF wasn't even updating it self, and I haven't changed anything in days. Worked fine yesterday but when I opened it today, the 4 windows opened but they didn't want to open there tabs (most of them have less than a dozen). The main window showed my menu bar, recent browsing icon and a mostly blank tab bar except for the new tab on the far right, none of the other tabs were loading or even showing up, but the space was there for them. I even just left it sit there and chew on things for about 15 minutes before I decided to exit out (file/exit) and try again. This time my other 3 windows loaded just fine but the main window with around 2 dozen tabs was BLANK! and NO recovery options! Recently closed tabs does show tabs I closed on it before the meltdown but NONE from the LOSS. Nightly does not show any in the Tab sync either (but it may not have been up long enough to sync). There is a previous window, but that is not the one I need to recover (Ironic that it will save a window with 65 tabs closed a week ago and let me recover it but it won't let me recover a window with only a couple dozen tabs from a couple hours ago). Wish I could remember how to wright complicated batch files, then I could make one that would back up the profiles after I close FF, that way when it screws up I could just copy the last backup in place and be working again. And all I would need to do is just put a time code in the profile name to make incremental backups and decide how long to keep them for with out over writing. SEE how SIMPLE that would be for you to do Mozilla? It's been how many years that you've been working on FF and it's predecessor and still no profile backup and restore? And to make things worse, most of the databases used are encrypted in some way so as to be NOT user friendly. We can't even import an old backup or profile parts if we need to recover something or look at something. You make it SO hard to recover from a crash when one happens (and they happen more often than they used to) and even just to back up our info even if we could recover it. You were a great browser, now you are broken and barely adequate bloat ware and getting worse. Problem is that your still better than chrome and edge crap.

I had my computer fixed due to a virus and now I can't get my old firefox with all my saved passwords back. How can I get it back. I'm using my same email address.

I got up this morning and, boom, I am forced update Firefox. Lost everything: history, bookmarks, and passwords. It's suggestions are useless. I have gone to "profiles" (only 2 and none of my information is in either). I am living in Taiwan and half the time the help is in Chinese, which I cannot read. The loss of my information is devastating and I cannot find any real person to help me. There must be a way. Where do I find real help?

My bookmarks have disappeared. I have followed the steps to restore them under the FAQ, but at Step 2 ("In the Library window, click the import-export-arrows button and then select Restore"), when I click Restore, no list of backups appears from which to select the one I want to restore. I have been using Firefox for years and have loads of useful bookmarks. How can I get them back?

Logged on to find this message. Followed "Fix" set as best I could (I am puter dumb) with no joy. "Manage Bookmarks" is completely blank. All wits end, Please HELP!

Hello! I am having trouble restoring my old Firefox profile after migrating my system from Windows 10 to Linux (Fedora). I have a backup file in .html format that is 197 MB in size (originally created on Windows). When I try to select and restore it using Firefox's built-in recovery tool, it throws an error: "Something is wrong with this file. Please try again with a different file." What I have tried (and what didn't work): Moved the file from an external drive to the local Linux Downloads folder (the error persists). Tried dragging and dropping the file directly into Firefox (the recovery page loads, but the restore buttons are missing or inactive due to security/script restrictions). Tried renaming the file extension from .html to .zip to extract its contents manually, but the archiver threw a "Not a zip archive" error. The built-in recovery script fails to process a 197 MB HTML file, likely due to size limits or memory handling on local files. Could you please advise on how to properly handle and restore such a large backup file or extract my data (passwords, history, bookmarks) from it on Linux? Thank you in advance!

There was an update with Mozilla Firefox on the 8th. I had tabs open on the computer. After the update, I could not retrieve the tabs I had open. Tried to restore and nothing worked. Is there any way to restore my tabs?

im trying to restore a session that i accidentally closed. i deleted the sessionstore.jsonlz4 file, copied and pasted the upgrade.jsonlz4-20260715202819 file, and renamed it to sessionstore.jsonlz4. In the new window, all the tabs that were supposed to be restored have been replaced with moz-safe-about:blank tabs. The tab group where i had several tabs is still there on the tab bar. What did i do wrong?

Without thinking I uninstalled Firefox on my android. It appears I didn't have an account set up or had synced my bookmarks and open tabs. Is there any way to get them back? 😞

Everything I had saved has gone. My passwords for at least 12-14 years all the shortcuts to everything I had have gone. Even my saved recovery key has gone. Cannot even recover to an earlier time. I have been with you for donkeys years. I am absolutely heartbroken

gerald.r.vargas 4. Aug. 2026, 08:23 GMT-6 Hi, this morning for some reason all the tabs I had open couldn't been loaded. Refreshening the page didn't help either. So I decided to shut down and restart my laptop.

Unfortunately after restarting Firefox only one page and its tabs have been reloaded.  All the others were gone. 

After trying about:support and session:restore it didn't help either, because only the 4th of Aug. was available. Is there a possibility for a session restore from the 03rd of Aug? or the previous days? If anybody has an idea, how to do so, please let me know.

Many thanks, Gerald R. Vargas

Per Updates critically important open tabs were no longer accessible following the Updates in question. I need to recover the missing activity-chronic or request that the unfinished activity up to the point of Update be retrieved.

nach dem start von firefox erscheint ein völlig neues profil - alle vorher gespreicherten tabs sind verschwunden. gibt es eine erklärung oder hilfe, um die vorherige ansicht wieder herzustellen?

The regular version of the browser is open with a bunch of pinned tabs and a private version. And!!! If you close the REGULAR version , but DO NOT close the PRIVATE one before that, then when you try to reopen the REGULAR one, ALL OPEN WINDOWS AND TABS will BE DELETED!!! WHY?!?!

And these tabs are not saved in history, because they WERE NOT active in this session!

Where do developers' hands grow from?! Well, this glitch was a couple of years ago! But now?! A month of work preparation went to hell because of Firefox failure... How do I restore tabs that were just blown away by the browser?
