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?

I recently uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox from the Microsoft store and was wondering if my old bookmarks and passwords are saved as backups somewhere and if so where. Or if its deleted when I uninstalled the app.

UPDATE: efforts to fix this have revealed that it's likely the release of Profiles didn't cause this problem although I speculate there might have been an inadvertent time bomb in the release. I will open a different question searching doesn't turn up the fix. If I would delete this post if possible.

FF 148.0 was running on MacOS with my profile as a folder (e.g, trb618r9.default) under Firefox. When I looked in history it was empty so I restarted FF, none of my tabs were there, and TreeStyleTabs didn't display. Investigating I see a new folder named Profiles that has a profile in it with the trb618r9.default name but not all the data in the original trb618r9.default. I renamed the "new trb618r9.default" and moved the original trb618r9.default to Profiles and restarted FF but still am not seeing the original fxxx data which still exists.

Screenshot of finder before I renamed etc. as described above shows the two same named profiles.

How can I recover?

Hello Community

Can anyone help me.

After using clean my Mac, I accidently deleted Firefox and important bookmarks. I have searching for the boikmarks folder in TimeMachine but cant find them. Any ideas please?

Best regards, Graham

Why my mozilla account didn't save my bookmark correctly, I just upgrade my windows to Windows 11, before I install my OS, I already syinced my Mozilla Account and all its data include bookmark toolbar. But, when I try to login and resync all my old data, its all gone, how to solve this issue?

I normally have 4 windows open, each with multiple tabs, for 4 work streams.

Whenever Firefox or MS decides to do an update, one window sometimes, 4 rarely, none usually, are recovered after restart. How can I ensure that Firefox remembers all the windows and their tabs before shutting down? Then reinstates them after starting up. After the last MS update, the option "Recently closed windows" was greyed out. But there had been 4 of them.

Firefox's recovery after simply rebooting the computer is more, but not completely, reliable. Win11 on a desktop computer

Thank you

I put in my bookmarks under my name and create sub directories for different groupings, like Canadian news, solar etc. The bookmarks within the subgroups stay for a while. I cannot say for how long. Sometimes a day sometimes longer. The bookmarks disappear and are replaced with what I would call the global network symbol. This has never occurred in windows 10 of which I still use. It appears to be an issue with windows 11. Please any help would be useful. It is getting extremely annoying having to replace the bookmarks all the time.

I have a machine I've been using for months and haven't got around to archiving the history and tabs for some research I was doing. I realized this could be problematic if anything happened to the machine, so I decided to sign-in to my Mozilla/Firefox account I made years ago, so it would be safely sync'd.

Everything was fine at first, it showed it was syncing and whatnot, but then after several minutes, Firefox crashed. Upon relaunching, ALL of my history is gone! Neither signed-in nor signed-out shows any history at all, except the searches I've done just now trying to undo this mess. Did I really just loose months of history due to some bug or is there a way I can manually restore or see it from the mess of cache/profile files on my machine?

Ubuntu user, so will be at ~/ or similar for most things I assume.

since Vers. 142 I am having a really bad and wasteful time searching for my previous tabs when firefox is closed....initially it worked, but now RESTORE PREVIOUS SESSION IS NOT ON THE MENU UNDER HISTORY.... WHY IS THIS ALWAYS A PROBLEM WITH UPDATES???? IT SEEMS THAT THE UPDATES WHEN LISTED DON'T SHOW HAVING ANY TAB INFO, BUT SURE AS DAY/NITE WHEN I TURN MY DESKTOP AND FIREFOX, TABS ARE MISSING AND I CAN'T RECOVER THEM.

IT WOULD SEEM THAT IF THE DESIGNERS REALLY WANTED TO DO SOMETHING WELL, THEY SHOULD BE TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY THIS HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS.

CAN'T "SNIP" A PICTURE OF MENU, SO HOW WOULD I MAKE A COPY OF IT SO YOU CAN SEE THAT RESTORE PREV. SESS. IS MISSING?

My old laptop is broken; I can no longer access the hard drive. Is there any way I can reorganize my old bookmarks from before a specific date, i.e., December 15, 2025, in Firefox?

I lost my bookmarks and toolbar and cannot save any new bookmarks. I found the backup for the bookmarks but I am unable to restore. I also cannot find my profile file either. What can I do?

The power went out while I was working and when I turned the computer back on, my Firefox account was logged out and I don't know how to get it back , Every time I try to restore the account it gives me the default account. And thanks a lot

the last update of firefox wiped out my amazon account on my pc. It completely cleared my calendar. Messed with my passwords on some of my accounts. Can someone tell me how to get these things back. I am not a computer wiz.
