When I opened Firefox, all my profile settings were back to a Default. Lost all my settings. Looked up solution on Google, couldn't find an "Old Firefox Data Folder" anywhere.

Tried the other listed "profiles" in my profiles folder, none were my most recent profile with all my settings from the past months.

How can I find the profile that was used before my update which was done 7/27/25 ish.

Thanks, Jean [email removed]

My PC died and I could not boot from bootable flash drive.

I had been backing up the system with Acronis to a WD Passport.

I purchased a new computer, and when I did a restore, upon starting Firefox, I did not have my old bookmarks, which are many.

Aren't they stored in a backup? If so, how do I get them back. I'm sure that some of the bookmarks came over from Netscape Navigator.

Thanks,

Bob

I lost all my personal data on Firefox as soon as I changed the password and I did not know that you can lose everything that I had registered in the download box and the previous archive. Now I am very, very mentally disturbed and I do not feel safe and I am very sad about what happened to me. I am crying now. What should I do? My psyche is really broken due to the lack of information....

There seemed to be an update or change, but when I saw the tabs I had on my bookmarks they were from 10 years ago. It had links that no longer work, tabs on websites that I no longer used. I tried to use recovery but it just gives me info on 2 days ago. I don't know where to go to get my most recent list since I had all my payment links among other things. I don't know if it my toddler I caught her taping on the keyboard, I mention this because she flipped the screen on the monitor upside down. Please help I need to pay bills and I can't remember all the sites.

Just updated from version 140.0.4 to version 141.0 and all my bookmarks AND browsing history are gone! I do see the appropriate files in my Firefox profile folder.

I tried following the instructions in the "Fix "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional" error message" article (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional?as=u&utm_source=inproduct&redirectslug=The+bookmarks+and+history+system+will+not+be+functional&redirectlocale=en-US), but they are not correct, i.e., Solution 3: Update Security Software definitions does not apply as I have Defender turned off in favor of using ZoneAlarm. And those instructions say to update the definition, but there's not place to update the definitions.

I tried to import bookmarks from the Bookmarks folder, but when I click on "Choose file", Firefox either does nothing or shuts down without displaying any error.

100% disappointed with this update!

Can Mozilla restore the information removed and now worse than useless to me ? If not get re ready for me to leave. Oh, I see, another way to waste my time, and cause my blood pressure to increase.

My wife's Firefox was triggered from an e-mail link and in the process got updated to release 141.0 The result is that the tabs from the previous verion have not loaded. Can I still recover them?

the update seems to think the only bookmarks i have are Explorer. I don't use that. I use Firefox. All my defaults were gone. Nothing functioned, no browsing the net, nothing. I tried troubleshooter when I bumped into it. There were missing tabs in the update...hidden. I finally tried to pull up help on my phone to fix the desktop situation. It recommended restart. nothing. It recommended clearing the data. Nothing changed. It recommended a refresh. All my bloody bookmarks are gone . TOns of work. WTH firefox?

I got a new PC and tried to sign in to my FireFox account to synchronize. But, foolishly, I ended up resetting my password! Don't know why did that, as I was able to locate my password stored elsewhere. I think this action erased all my data in my online profile & I cannot access my account data (bookmarks, user IDs & passwords) online.

Since my data was still in my old PC, I followed the directions for finding my Profile folder. I copied the folder contents to the Profile folder in the new PC. This has not worked.

I realize I wasn't supposed to copy the entire folder contents, which could be the reason why it's not working. Also, the profile folder contained a large amount of data (3 G). So, it's possible that not all files have been transferred correctly.

Please help me!

Thank you very much! Madoka
