My account was recently hacked by someone using find-it pro hijacker after i clicked on a phishing/spam email disguised as a git-hub repository for AI/machine learning.

The hacker gained access to my google,MS,linkedin,X and other email accounts he removed my profile photo on linkedin and deleted all my education and employment details, he also went to X and changed my name from Daniel to (Tesla Investor) in order to deceive innocent people,he also deleted or synced a lot of my emails in a bid to sieve for financial data he can use to compromise my banking and card details

i have been able to recover all the accounts, made a police report to protect myself in case of impersonation and also following up with the x-support team to unmask his identity as he even posted! from my account.

I had to wipe out everything Firefox from my system as i did not know exactly what directory had been compromised unfortunately l lost all my bookmarks of years containing many links and urls i frequently categorized for my education and professional development

I prefer Firefox because the browser allows a user to create folders and subfolders and then bookmark any url or site for future reference and ease of navigation e.g (software eng -> frontend,backend,ml) i have hundreds of bookmarks and folders and i can no longer see anything as i performed a clean installation and used malware bytes to remove the infections that had hidden themselves in various system folders on my local machine, everything including my passwords had also been synced to the hacker's local machine.

Is there anyway Firefox can help me restore or sync back all these hundreds/if not thousands of bookmarks and folders on my account from their own servers, i just feel a loss in enthusiasm that someone could just take away in an instant years of hardwork, it is hard for me to start bookmarking all these information that took years to arrange neatly in my firefox folders so that if i sign in on another system, i can easily continue my work as a developer.

I would appreciate if anyone can guide me on how to reach Mozilla team if they can help to get a re-sync if possible even if it is up to Jan 31, 2025

Going forward i wont store any passwords on Mozilla again as i have gone to the settings to turn all these features the hacker exploited off, but just bookmarks and i have setup 2fa too on all my most sensitive work and email sites.

I lost the tabs in all my groups, so I restored from a recent backup. It seemed to be going well - I saw the names of dozens of tabs rattling across the top of the screen - but when it had finished, the groups are all still empty.

This is disastrous. There were dozens of groups containing hundreds of tabs..

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Thank you.

i need to get my old bookmarks back. my pc has gotten scewed up by microsoft and i had to reinstall firefox, now my bookmarks and passwords are gone. can you help??

I received a message from Mozilla saying i had to update my version of firefox or certificates would be invalid and things would run slowly or worse. The deadline was today so I followed the update instructions, installing the update. Then all my tabs crashed (over 100) in 7 active windows AND the Restore crashed tabs button did nothing either for individual tabs or the restore all tabs button.

Helllllp? Please.

why can't I restore bookmarks. All solutions will not work "unable to process file". This happen mid secession.The restore dates are there but i get unable to precess file

Installed 134.0.2. Bookmarks disappeared. Went to restore backups, receive message "unable to process the backup file". All of my bookmark backup files receive this message when I try to restore.

Hey so i reseted my pc and I synced my account before uninstalling firefox but now everything is gone would it be possible to get my bookmarks and passwords back because it was quite a lot and i dont remember everything and also i had passwords for a lot of websites saved on mozilla and its way to much to do everything on my own again.

with friendly regards

I lost my old computer and now I need to recover my Firefox bookmarks. I was using Mozback. I reloaded it on the new computer but I cannot get it to restore using my backup file (.PVC). Is there an alternative available that I can use?

Due to technical problems, I had to reinstall the system on my computer, losing files, and I also went back to Windows 10 instead of continuing to use Windows 11 because Windows 11 doesn't work well on my computer. after downloading firefox I logged in as always, after logging in it always remembered my passwords, bookmarks and so on, now it doesn't. I don't know what to do

I had to reset my password after I forgot my old one and didn't realize I had made an account recovery key. Is there any way to recover the data after this if I still have the old key?

Last week I deleted browser data & cookies (for a Microsoft account I use) & then I accidentally used an incorrect password to login to Facebook & they locked my account. When I tried to change my password they didn't recognize my device, which I've been using for MANY years. They also reject photos of my i.d. & won't tell me why because I'm apparently trying to communicate with an a.i. bot, NOT a human being. P.S. To make things even worse, I was locked out of my phone, which kept asking me for a password that I've NEVER set up. So I had to do a factory reset & lost ALL my data.

I've tried everything I can think of & I'm wondering if it's possible to get at least some of the data back?

For some unknown reason when I went into Firefox all my bookmarks were missing. So I followed these steps:

1. Clicked on Show your bookmarks 2. Clicked on Manage bookmarks 3. Clicked on All Bookmarks 4. Clicked on Import and Backup all Bookmarks 5. Clicked on Restore 6. Clicked on latest Backup and it showed all the latest backups 7. Clicked on the latest backup

and it came back saying it could not be done.

What is going on and how can I restore my bookmarks?

Yesterday I could access my passwords saved in Firefox, but today there were only two & those were in an open window for passwords. How can I recover my list of passwords, please? I'm using a MacBook Air with an M3 chip, Sequoia 15.3.1 Thanks so much!

I did a reset on my HP laptop on 23/02/2025, I opted to save my files but when I signed in to Firefox I had lost all my bookmarks, I have attempted to do a "Restore" but it has not worked, does Firefox retain my bookmarks elsewhere?

So I am on a Windows Surface. I have been using Firefox. Lately a few times it went wonky and it did it again today where it would open a million windows and I couldn't close them or shut the app down. So I attempted to uninstall it. But it gave me an option to do a Refresh, which I tried but it didn't work. So I had no choice but to uninstall and reinstall it.

That's all well and good. But now I have lost years of bookmarks. DAMN!!!!! This is my work computer and I need to find a way to get all my bookmarks back. Is there a way to do it? Maybe accessing history or something?

I had to use Microsoft Edge to download the new version of Mozilla Firefox so its asking me if I want to transfer my data from Edge. I never use Edge. I like Mozilla Firefox but I am so in trouble if I cannot access all my bookmarks with important pages that I have saved. Darn.

Thanks for your help!
