I-Firefox Community Forum

My Macbook wasn't responding, so I restarted it and force quit all applications. When I opened Firefox again, none of my bookmarks showed on my bookmarks bar. The bar itself is not hidden. I checked to make sure I have the same profile I always use open and I do. I also tried to go into Bookmarks, Manage Bookmarks, Import, but nothing is available to import.

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.

you have removed ALL my bookmarks every time I reboot Firefox. This is intolerable!!!!!!! You have cost me 24 hours of insufferable time trying to reinstall my hundreds of bookmarks.

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?

Starting the Windows 11 laptop again. Then Firefox. Result: No sites are starting. All history lost, many tabs: lost. Great work!!! Last update was already shit (many exception rules have to be set manual again. I love such updates! Useless). And now that. I think I will switch now to chrome. Sorry. Such experience is enough. It is my time - I need a reliable browser, not where I have to spend time to get the things like they have been before

I was switching computers and created a backup file. The type was html oddly. I tried to restore this backup on two different computers and both times it fails during the restore process without presenting a useful error message.

I can only guess that the file is corrupt, but it is only a guess since the error message is useless. It also seems strange that the backup didn't produce any errors (manual backup). Any suggestions?

i had two different firefox browsers yesterday. I deleted one but all my passwords are gone from the other browser. When the firefox browser got uninstalled it created a backup on my desktop called bookmarksback up. how can i move that file into this new firefox and how can I retrieve those passwords?

I recently purchased a new desktop due to the previous desktop malfunctioning a bit. The old hdd is still in operating condition and is now a slave in my new cpu. Where can I find the history/bookmarks on the old drive? Is there a filename that is relevant for the data?

Thanks

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?

So before few days firefox decided to automaticly update. after thet no pasword was saved in system. undery system data 2 files: logins.json-1.corrupt/json-2.corrupt without any data in files (but size is 130KB). i need these logins ASAP.

I removed the solid-state SSD drive from my physically-broken Windows 10 HP laptop and connected it to my new Windows 11 HP laptop using an external adapter, wanting to move the contents to my new machine. But already I find that only about 3/4 of my bookmarked browsing favorite sites and document files are among the items that I can find on the old, externally-connected "D" drive (D:>USER>OWNER>FAVORITES). I tried visiting some of the bookmarked sites and hitting "bookmark this page" for each, but then none showed up on my new Windows 11 machine's firefox browser bookmarks sidebar. Perhaps they are being put elsewhere because I am opening these sites from my old drive??

I probably need to first understand if and how much that the two drives are still operating separately, so not cooperating with each other in the way I had hoped. I know next to nothing about any of these things but have used the Firefox browser and documents files for many years without too many issues.

all your articles on 'Session Restore' or Restore Browsing History, are GOBBLEDEGOOK! links that do not work or are incorrect information! Steps which do not work or lead to a previous page which was not helpful ! " Recently Closed Tabs" or History will NOT open the latest tabs. Click to ??? "whatever" is incomplete 'cause you do not tell us WHERE IT IS LOCATED. Backup" is assumed by you, but no information to set it up! Bottom line.: when Firefox crashes, we [the user] is screwed!!

Firefox has complained for sometime that my profile was created with a newer version than what I was using. I'd click OK, and go about my day. After about a month, I decided to upgrade so it would stop bugging me. When I did, my old profile did not merge, but was deleted, and now I have lost all of my passwords and bookmarks. How can I restore them when the profile is empty?

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?

After I renamed one of the sessionstore backups to sessionstore.jsonlz4, It says move it up one folder, & restart.

My path is ...APPDATA\ROAMING\MOZILLA\FIREFOX\PROFILES\8TWMWQ0P.DEFAULT-RELEASE\SESSIONSTORE-BACKUPS

I put new sessionstore.jsonlz4 in default-release folder & then profile folder, , no luck on restart.

Thats when I reread the support instructions & saw my DISTRIBUTION ID is blank, so I dont have Microsoft Store copy to begin with.

It is doing a restore previous, but just two tabs from a 2nd session that was open at same time (oops on me) & , I am trying to get back to 40 tabs I was using.

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?
