I been having problems with Firefox ever since I refreshed 65.0.1 losing 6 years of bookmarks, addons and passwords, after 7 hours and I managed to get old files back and had to redo addons and passwords. It became unreliable with copying/paste not working, slowness etc and when I found that it was not updating to latest 65.0.2 I scrapped it and downloaded latest. But cannot get old version of profile back. Instead I have no files showing up in local directory, though root directory is showing *see screenshot. So I have to restart everything from scratch with important passwords and bookmarks etc. It still will not show but closing down firefox it does save and keep customised setup and session etc. Is this normal to vanish on this version?

I had to hard-reboot my Windows machine, and when I launched Firefox (Developer Edition) upon after boot, my profile was lost. I had to set up Firefox Sync again, browser toolbar settings were reset, extensions were present but all their data was wiped, my session was lost (except oddly for pinned tabs). Windows didn't show any chkdisk activity during boot (looked like a clean boot). I wasn't prompted to create a new profile, so it appears the profile directory still existed. I don't understand what happened, or how I can even diagnose the issue.

I use Waterfox, specifically for an online game I play. I use it for the 64 bit capacity. Until a couple updates ago, it saved my logins and passwords fine, but after a recent update...I am currently using 46.0.1, the more recent ones create flash issues and won't work, it will save the logins and passwords for as long as the computer remains running, but then loses them. I can set up sync, even though I don't use waterfox on any other device, and have no reason to, but then it won't keep me logged in to synch, and I have to relogin to "sync", get an email confirmation, and reply before I can proceed. This is my own desktop, in my own home, where I am the only resident. Additionally, these are game logins, that are useless to anyone. Why can't I save my logins and passwords without going through the hassle of syncing...and why won't that remember and remain logged in on my device? This is frustrating, is there an answer out there, where some setting can be changed to allow this?

This is very weird. I lost a lot of my bookmarks, including folders I made a while ago. It looks like it reverted to a list of bookmarks from a long time ago. Al the bookmarks now have the same little globe picture instead of the normal ones representing the individual pages, like a red triangle for my YouTube Music links . I tried to restore them via Firefox itself. This failed. I tried Mozbackup, this failed. I uninstalled Firefox, restarted my computer and reinstalled. The wrong old bookmarks automatically appeared again and recovering still did not work.
I still have a relatively recent list that I exported to Chrome. I could import them back in and can probably manually restore most by shifting folders and individual bookmarks around. In that case I would 'only' have lost a few weeks. Very annoying.
I would like to know what happened, how to prevent this from happening again and a possible fix

I lost quite a few bookmarks from the last 6-7 months in a couple of folders. There may be more but that's what I've noticed so far. I think this happened a few days ago when it was syncing. I have since uninstalled FF on my Android. I have back ups on both json and HTML. The question though is, do the back ups retain the "description" entered for each bookmark? That's important for me.
Needless to say, I'm confused and kinda livid.

Firefox did an update last night and loging in this morning all my bookmarks have disappeared. "Ok, don't panic" I tell myself," go online and find a solution". That is all fine except the only profile folder/file I can find is today's. No auto backups in sight. Nothing.
Any ideas please?

After Firefox updated a few days ago, all of my bookmarks disappeared. I have tried to get them back, but nothing has worked.
I have tried a number of recommended methods, and nothing has worked. History does not acknowledge anything before the Firefox update.

Firefox forgets all exceptions of saved logins ("Never save" option at password store function) and the notification settings where I've checked "Remember this decision" after closing Firefox.

I have a multiple logins of google and some other websites which I have added in Firefox and never log out from them so I do not have to log in them again and again. It was working perfectly till last update and now every time I close firefox, cookies.sqlite in profile is being renamed to cookies.sqlite.bak and a fresh sqlite file is created when I restart Firefox, so all logins are gone. Everytime I have to delete the freshly created cookies.sqlite file and rename bak file to cookies.sqlite. My FF version is '63.0.3 (32-bit)' and option of "Accept cookies and site data" is already set to expire on "Until they expire".
Please help me how to toubleshoot it because I cant to loose cookies data at any cost.
History doesn't appear after downgrading Firefox

For a really long time I've been using an older version of Firefox (47.0b9, to be precise) because I didn't like the following updates. A week ago I noticed some problems with one website I was using and so thought that maybe it's because I was using outdated browser or something like that. To check this out I updated Firefox to newest (in that moment) version of it, but it wasn't the case, and because I didn't like the changes made to interface and other things I immediately downgraded it back to the version I was using earlier. But then I realized that all my browser history was gone.
I spent last week trying to undo or repair it, and so I found out that my browser history was still there, untouched, but for some reason older Firefox could not "see" it. After updating again to the newest version browser history was back and it showed again.
I tried many things, like System Restore or Firefox Sync, to somehow get the history back in the older version, but it just didn't work.
The thing is, while the history doesn't appear in version 47.0b9, the last session - tabs that I had opened - still showed, and when clicking on "History" button, before going into History window, there was a list of recently visited websites, and the last sites I visited before that whole situation were truly there, so I presume it has to have access to files that contain my browser history.
I am aware that there are supposedly some safety risks that come with using older version of Firefox, but I didn't experience any problems during my long usage of it so I don't see an issue.
I really need my browser history to work again in older version of Firefox, and not only because I don't like how newest version looks, but because of how search bar was changed (that is most crucial to me when it comes to this topic) and the fact that after upgrading the browser it started to work slower than before for some reason, which is quite jarring. Some other applications also started working slower, but it isn't as important as the browser.
I also tried slightly newer version of Firefox, but it seems that anything below 55 doesn't work. I think I've read somewhere that in version 55 any downgrade below started to not be supported anymore.
I'm sure there were some changes made to files that contain browser history and things related to it over the course of time. I think that "places.sqlite" file was actually five times bigger after updating to newest version, but I don't know why is that, I'm not really knowledgeable in that field.
But I wonder if there is anything I can do to make it work again in older version, specifically 47.0b9.
Thank you in advance for any help.
