I-Firefox Community Forum

Good afternoon, I had to format my PC and when I installed Firefox, when I logged in, I noticed that it didn't import the bookmarks I had associated with the account (as I always do) or the saved passwords. Everything disappeared. Why? Can I recover this data? Thank you.

I have no idea what passwords from . csv.files are or where to find them on my Asus LinuxMint laptop?

 The only password and username that i entered into my LinuxLaptop  are the only usernames and passwords

that I've entered into my new computer. I've also entered my google Chrome username and password to set up my Thunderbird email service. I never wanted to sync all my usernames and passwords in my Acer laptop computer because I felt that that made it too simple for a hacker to access all of my personal Information and access to accounts. Mozilla Firefox wants a password for csv files or tsv files or HTML files ? I don' know what any of these files are or where to go to to find them or the passwords for these files. I just want to successfully transfer all of my Favorates folders and files then all my Documents and picture files to my new computer. I'm a Photography artist, Graphic Designer,abstract painter, and creative writer. I can't move forward in my creative pursuits without completing these tasks. Thanks very much for your help and information. I'm soon to be 80 years old and not a very good keypuncher on a computer. I'm happy to leave Microsoft Windows and Google behind but Linux Mint is all new to me.

This article：https://support.mozilla.org/kb/install-firefox-linux. I want to install Firefox offline or use the deb package directly. My system is arm64.

Trying to install Firefox on Windows 11. I tried to import profiles from the Win10 machine but it didn't work - profile not found. I uninstalled and reinstalled again but same problem. I thought i had removedFF from the system but a search in this PC revealed 4 .browser files, 14 version files labelled from 134.0.2 to 119.0, a Dropbox messaging file? And a Firefox folder in Appdata Roaming.

Can I delete all of these and start again with a clean install? Why does the installer leave so much rubbish behind?

Help!

We have followed the instructions on how to import bookmark & it doesn't work. We have tried to export bookmarks from Chrome to Firefox & that doesn't work. Please advise.
