I-Firefox Community Forum

I was on a website and noticed I was signed out, so I went to log in, but the browser did not display the username/password like it usually does. I clicked on the hamburger menu to go to my passwords and I noticed that it said "Account disconnected" at the top. I figured this was the issue, so I clicked it to log in. After going through the forgot password steps, I got logged in to Mozilla. Firefox then prompted me if I wanted to save that password and I clicked yes. I then went to the password manager and the only one listed was the Mozilla password that I just saved. After some digging, I found there was a logins.json.corrupt file in the profile folder. I tried renaming it to logins.json but that does not work. I tried viewing the corrupt file, but it was not legible.

Is there any way to recover the passwords or are they gone for good?

i have been using firefox for years without issues. just now i booted up on my laptop and a reset firefox question came up so i thought oh okay why not? I LOST MY FB PAGE/400+ FRIENDS... I LOST LEVEL 700+ IN A GAME APP.... all acting like this was day one!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF???????????????? HELP!!!!!!!!!

I logged in a few minutes ago and all my bookmarks are gone. It says my bookmarks are empty. I've used Firefox for years and never had this happen. How can this be fixed?

For some reason all of a sudden my bookmarks don't show their identification icons that are associated with that web site. Those icons are to the immediate left of the site address. I used to use those colored icons as a quick reference to select the web site I wanted. Being I have MANY bookmarks, those icons to the left were a GREAT help to locating a specific bookmark.

   I could locate a bookmark by the web site icon that is shown to the left of the site address. Now that icon just shows a non colored ball with globe in it.
  Is there a way to show a earlier date of my bookmarks? Maybe that way I could see the old bookmark menu the way it used to be shown when I accessed my bookmark menu? 
   Can someone please help. Thank you.

Moving Firefox over to a new computer, I know how to find the profiles via file manager- that is not my problem. I am not sure which to move, Local or Roaming. I am thinking Roaming as that has all my bookmarks and passwords. I have moved individual files from Roaming and do have bookmarks and passwords working on new computer.

But I was thinking it would be best to move the whole thing so I got the tabs that should be used on startup and maybe more I don't know. So I don't know if I should copy both over or just one. I did try both once and Firefox said it couldn't find profile (I renamed the old ones).

Thinking I may need to use about:profiles and select new one. Not sure what will happen, hope it lets me point to new file on my USB drive. Looks like I should use both local and roaming, but don't know? Local might be something that relates to hardware on computer.

Hope this makes sense?

I've lost everything in bookmarks. The toolbar. The general bookmarks. Everything. Could this be because I tried to download Claude on my new mac mini. Help please. We only use firefox. All the time!

After the update occurred my desktop bookmarks was not here anymore! I need to get that desktop bookmars back and I can not figure out how to get it back PLEASE help me!!

HEEEEEEELP!

Ugh! My old desktop pc died a few months back. I was using a chromebook until I could replace it, but didn't have access to my Firefox account. Finally got a new pc, but I can't seem to find any way to access my old info. Someone please tell me it's still here somewhere, and how to find it. I had so many important bookmarks saved, and now I'm just absolutely sick at the thought that I can't get them back. I'm not sure which version of Firefox I was running, but I do know the old computer was still on Windows 10.
