Hi, I switched to a new phone recently, and wasn't able to outright sync all of my open tabs from the old device. It was, however letting me access them from the tab menu on my new device, so it wasn't a big deal.

Now I can't see the other phone in the tab menu, just the sync from my PC. I don't have the old phone anymore, because it was a trade in for my current device.

Is there any way to get my old tabs back? The sync must have timed out, because there was no activity for a period of time. I have Firefox synced on all of my devices.

Thank you.

Help, My computer performed an automatic update, rebooting itself and all the history on Firefox has been lost all my open tabs have disappear. I followed other instructions to open the Profile Folder, but the only 2 files there are the ones created after the reboot. There are no previous files. Thanks, Juan

Some of my shortcuts were missing on Firefox when I started my laptop this morning. I tried restarting my computer but that didn't help. I really don't know what topic fits best. I am not at all tech savvy when it come to computers.

I had to replace my motherboard and the new one would not boot from my old D-drive. I've been carrying my world forward since 1993 and am retired and so I figured it might be a good time to start over, just bringing the stuff I still need or want. (I have data disks for non-program related stuff, so that part is easy.) I've carried my FireFox profile and tabs from one installation to another before, so I didn't figure it would be a problem. Wrong.

I have copied my old profile into the new FireFox installation on the fresh new install of Windows 11 and everything came just fine - except I cannot recover my old tabs. There is supposed to be a Restore Tabs or Recover Tabs or some such selection in the History menu, but it is not there. It is not in the history library. It is not anywhere to be found.

So how do I restore my old tabs?

Thanks,

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?

w11 on laptop. Cleaned PC using CCleaner. Restarted windows. Launched Firefox and only 1 tab with calendar opened. Went to History but no indication of the previous session available. ?

Siguiendo sus instrucciones facilitadas, he conseguido recuperar la carpeta de mi perfil anterior pero no se qué hacer con ella para que aparezcan los marcadores de siempre en la aplicación, cómo lograrlo Gracias

Hi

I've just booted my machine and opened Firefox, only to be presented with a completely fresh install.

All my settings, bookmarks and history gone. It was fine yesterday when I closed it and powered down.

I'm running Kubuntu, I've checked the .mozilla folder and nothing...it's like my profile has just been overwritten.

Not happy at all, I'm starting to dislike Firefox.

Can anyone offer any help or advice please?

Thanks in advance.

Hi -

I can't seem to restore my bookmarks. Latest version of Windows crashed my system and had someone helping remotely to restore and revive it which was done.

However, it appears that the "import bookmarks" feature doesn't allow me to import my firefox bookmarks. And I had thought that I had imported them, but now they are no longer available under import bookmarks. And there are no bookmarks available either.

I think something happened with things the remote person was doing but can't verify.

Is there any way to get back a few years worth of work bookmarks? Thank you,

I'm having trouble with my bookmarks. I accidently included Firefox when using a program to clean up files from my PC. It wiped my bookmarks but I've managed to locate the backup html in my profile folder. Unfortunately I can't find anyway to actually use that back up. All of the guides I've found take you through the manage bookmarks tab but everything there is baisically unresponsive for some reason.

Your update has erased every bookmark I had, no gmail, no YT, NOTHING is left. my history is erased. Thank you for destroying my computer. WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME?

so, update to 138.0.4 (64-bit) resulted in deletion of both my bookmark library AND all the backups? fantastic. over a decade of important bookmarks - gone. thanks guys, you're awesome.

items dragged to overflow menu pop back out, will not stay there - dunno how to fix this.

Hate the "puzzle piece." Involuntarily upgraded to 115.25.0esr and it lost all my bookmarks, addons, history. How do I know which profile was the most recent, before the update added a new profile? How do I find my addons from the previous version? history?

I was trying to Sort by Name, but hit Delete, because the right-click menu presentation shifted. No worries, Ctrl Z should undo on PC. Nope. Now I'm learning the only restore is through JSTOR/backup. I don't want to restore a previous state of operation. I want to un-Delete a folder. Is that a feature somewhere, somehow?

And secondly, can I force confirmation for all future folder deletions?

I ran into a glitch in another program, and as part of trying to fix it I rebooted my computer. On doing so, I find that the VAST majority of the tabs I had open in my main browsing window have disappeared - some of them out of tab groups I'd created to avoid losing the tabs in question. Neither tab history nor browser history show the missing tabs.

What gives?! Is there any way to restore the window as I had it, say, yesterday?
