I run normal firefox on linux. Fully up-to-date. Every time I quit the app, it reverts to a version of my profile from a month ago, and loads all the tabs I had open then, and then receives all the tabs that I sent to the device in the interim (~1 month). As I speak, it just caught the 60 or 70 tabs in this window.

I tried changing the name of my profile folder to randomstring.defaultOLD and changed one of the backups to randomstring.default. This didn't change the behavior. I'm still stuck in the loop. I saved my tabs with onetab, because firefox isn't remembering my session anymore. I thought it was something to do with updates, like it only loses its mind upon updates, but that's not true. It thinks it's updating firefox EVERY TIME, because the one time it's loading to 1 month ago it was updating, but I'm 100% sure there are no updates to firefox in my linux. It's just hallucinating.

The articles on restoring from backup are outdated. They say to use an html file. There is no html file. It's just folders for profiles, not html files. HELP!

Hello,

I recently opened Firefox and noticed that all my data (bookmarks, saved passwords, and history) is completely gone. I didn't make any changes or delete anything myself.

Could you please help me understand what happened and how I can recover my lost data?

Thank you.

I recently made a backup (via the option under Account and sync in the settings), as I was switching to a new OS. Unfortunately, when selecting the backup in the new OS, I am greeted with the error message:

This file isn’t working. Try picking a different file.

According to this, my file is corrupted. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or have I just lost all my data? I no longer have access to the profile files in the original OS.

I made a change somewhere that caused a total loss of history/open tabs even in my tab manager extension. I can't remember exactly what it was I changed but nothing I have searched here has been helpful in recovering from this. I did not want to bring my profile from home as I am using Firefox here in a work environment. Can someone point me to or explain a step by step method to be able to do this? Nothing I found in searching here has been positive.

I accidentally deleted my old Firefox beta And I need to recover my settings bookmarks and data etc by logging in how do I do that immediately? I'm trying to recover my old Firefox beta account how can I do that immediately

Alors que je n’ai pas demandé de mise à jour une nouvelle page Firefox est apparu sur mon ordinateur, iMac Apple et tous les marque-pages personnelles et autres ont disparu, Que faire pour opérer la totalité de mon ancienne version dans ce nouveau navigateur,

After problems with loading the current Firefox session, I seem to have retrieved my bookmarks (I cannot be certain all of them are there), except the Bookmarks toolbar and Other bookmarks folders are empty. I have a recent backup, but when I try to import the json file, it wipes out all bookmarks - I have to reboot to see them again. If I had them in html format I might try to manually add the missing bookmarks. Even better, maybe there is a way to merge the current and backed-up bookmarks. But I don't want to make things even worse. Any advice that certainly will work? Thank you for your help. Incidentally, sometimes the bookmarks won't load, and I have to reboot, sometimes several times, to see them again. How might I avoid this?
