I have a profile that causes odd behavior, within the profile, and to the OS.

Regarding the profile itself:

1. I use Multiple Tab Handler, which should allow me to move tabs on the tab bar with the mouse, but it does not (see image of proper behavior)

2. Normally, i can drag this padlock button to the desktop to create a shortcut. but now, it will not move/drag (see image 2)

3. I also have a backup profile from several months ago that has none of the above symptoms. However, If I substitute it's sessionstore.jsonlz4 file with the the one from the problematic profile, all the bad behavior mentioned above re-emerges.

I know this sounds strange, but, I also get external display issues when using the broken profile. These events are random, and manifest themselves differently, so I can't duplicate them. Essentially, these snips are examples of images from the taskbar tabs, or the clock area, suddenly superimposing themselves on the top portions of the taskbar toolbar area.

This is the view of my clock area (see next image 3)

In the following image, imagine that the portion on the left, that opens the start menu, is now hidden under what looks exactly like the clock area on the right, superimposed over it (see next image 4)

Those aberrations are removed by simply moving the mouse cursor over them, but they will continue to occur in any number of variations over any area of that top toolbar.

Is there a Session Manager that will save the session, to be later restored into that previous profile, but not also pass along the corruption?

Is there away i can get my browser history and data back ,i logged out of windows couldnt remember my password ,logged in with a new password and all my data is gone .....

Today firefox deleted my complete history with the latest update. My data recovery tools cannot find any old profile. I demand a solution, since you update without any warning or possibility to save the history/tabs.

firefox updated to 128 esr all of a sudden (i didn't click update or download for this) and when i went to open firefox, the appearance and everything changed. it looked like google chrome and none of my bookmarks and settings and layouts were there. they just DISAPPEARED. i tried googling how to to fix this and for some reason every time i search it takes me to another search engine instead of google. (this is beside the main point though). I'm so frustrated right now since all my bookmarks are gone (literally having a breakdown). I tried looking through the help articles and all of them just say to use the backup profiles or that there are bookmarkbackup files in my profile folders or that firefox would download a folder with files from the old version but none of that happened. I looked into my folders for older profiles trying to find places.sqlite files but NOTHING. there is literally NO backups or profiles dated to before July 16 2025; the day it updated (shown in screenshot) and there is NO bookmarkbackup files anywhere. i have signed in to firefox prior and had my devices synced for awhile and no issues so there should have been previous profiles and data saved onto my computer. Please help, I really need my bookmarks back!

Under Settings; Privacy and Security, my Passwords have disappeared, and at the same time all of my Bookmarks disappeared also.

While I was online this morning, all of a sudden my Mozilla tab went blank and the Firefox Icon on the bottom tray disappeared too.

All 3 problems happened at the same time.

This is a disaster for me.

Can the Passwords be restored? What in the world happened to my system?

Thank you.

Logged into my Firefox account and after restarting the browser my tabs and browser history are gone. Every file in "sessionstore-backups" is also deleted and now only has two newly created recovery files. Why did Firefox delete my desktop browser session after logging in? Can I somehow recover my old session or maybe at least my browser history?

Hey, So I just updated my Mozilla with the latest update and after I restarted my laptop all my bookmarks, history and favourites are gone. I didn't do any backups manually. It's few hundred important work-related links lost. What actually happened? Can I get them back? Please help.

Tell me how to get all my bookmarks to appear again after they recently disappeared. When I got the bookmarks back in the toolbar only half of them show up. What happened to the bookmark icon on my toolbar? Microsoft edge still has my bookmarks easily available!

Hello . 2 maybe 3 days ago when i went to use Firefox to check my email etc there was an update available.

I did the usual thing and accepted the update , that id seam to go as normal

However since that update all of my short cuts to my save/favourite site as now disappeared completely , now even any blank icons ??

Your advice please.
