I did the new browser update. It wiped out all of the back ups of all of my profiles on my system in the User profiles. I need to get back the profile I was using yesterday. I need this urgently.

Can someone help me recover my previous session. I restarted my computer, I force quit firefox before so I would restore. I restored and only one or two of the four pages I had open (with a bunch of tabs open in each).

I cant use the restore previous history tab cause its grey...

Please help.

Thank You.

Hi,

I have logged in in a new device with my firefox account and I can´t see anything of my backed up data.

Passwords, bookmarks, pluggins are gone... And I checked before that I had my sync on and everything was synced.

Before that, I added a secondary email and then put it as primary. Could you please check?

Is there a way to back up the tabs I have open? I tried a tab manager, I've forgotten it's name, a few years ago and it worked for a while then the folders I had started to come up empty. I e-mailed the owner but got no response and no help getting the lost tabs back. I am looking at Tree Style Tab but any other suggestions are welcome.

I could not remember my pw today when trying to get bookmarks back on this computer, so reset, thinking I would otherwise be locked out --now I'm not seeing an option to sync bookmarks. I'd love to get back these bookmarks--a treasure trove of resources gathered over 9 years. Any help greatly appreciated!

I couldnt open firefox. I keep getting the error message "Couldnt load XPCOM"

I tried system restore with no luck. I have hundreds of bookmarks and they are now gone.

Any suggestions?

suspected sessionstore.jsonlz4 corruption possible Sync rollback conflicts extremely large tab sessions spontaneous restoration of previously closed tabs during live browsing I am not a techy person. Have seen on Chat steps that can be taken, but it is too complicated for me. Seeking remote or other help. Would like to know how complex an issue this is. I'm having a very tough time. It just restored around 1,000 previously closed tabs. It takes me hours to close them because they get mixed up with the tabs presently opened. It interferes terribly with my work. I'm reaching out to IT companies and then found you through Chat GPT. Please help if possible. TY! This is a Lenovo t16 laptop with windows 11 for home or personal. I haven't had a tuneup for a long time. I read that's not a good thing to do with this issue.

Note: I always export all bookmarks to backup file and copy that to several safe locations for needed synchronization across different browsers and also restoring them if needed. Problem: I have repeatedly selected all items in Firefox bookmarks sub-folders and then followed by importing html bookmarks thinking that I was updating my bookmarks, so all my browsers had same. Instead, what I find is duplicated sets of bookmarks building up about 10-fold so that now any search for a site yields far too many duplicate listings and it is a mess. How do I prevent this from happening and how do I actually and truly delete all boomkarks in Firefox?

Aside topic: For all the folks who have accidentally lost bookmarks, my experience with losses has lead to always having backup files of bookmarks and backup listings in word or Excel of all my settings and extensions, etc. Automation has advantages, but it introduces new headaches. I can never allow myself to believe that everything will one day be just rosy. Also, multiple different browsers can be very helpful.

I had a number of tabs open when my phone rang. After the call I checked the browser, and most of the tabs were gone. Usually there is an option to "restore previous session" in History, but it is not there now. I would like to go back to that previous session. Is there a way to do that?

Please help. Was on phone with a Samsung rep who deleted my Firefox account. When I signed back in I forgot my password so I changed it. I've lost everything and don't know how to get it back. Any help is appreciated.
