Firefox Community Forum

Hi, my session with a lot of open tabs has been lost due to a crash. In the profile folder, the recovery and previous files in the sessionstore-backups have been deleted. I tried to recover them using shadow explorer, but these files are corrupted, so I've had no success reading them. Is there a way to fix the corrupted files? Alternatively, because I've had sync enabled for open tabs, is there a log for past open tab synchronizations? If this was stored on the cloud, it may be possible to retrieve that table and restore the list of open tabs that way?

I lost all my tagged articles. Even though my app shows the tags did I create, on browser there's only one tag. And there's no article listed under the tag I am pretty sure that I list them as in tags.

Last Friday I took up the firefox update. I always wait 3 days b4 I do in case there are any bugs. Lost everything on desktop and there was a msg " This update is not compatible with yr computer, please re-instal firefox" but it was a catch 22 situation cos every time I tried to re-install firefox I got nothing but the same message! I had version 133.0 (64 BIT) and the newer version was & still is 133.0.3. Eventually Edge came to my rescue and took me back to the older version (133.0). Then a couple of days later I'm getting incessant offers to update! I checked the Firefox updater & the new update is the same as the one that caused my desktop computer to crash so keep dismissing it unless u can promise me it wont happen again! My son is an IT specialist; he had to drive 100 miles to come help me get back everythng I lost. I dont like the newer update .. not interested in side bars; just want it to be the same all the time! So question is: if I take up the newer update, is it still incompatible with my comp? Am running W10 on it.

(I have no idea what topic I should have selected. If you read the text here, you can quickly see that I am flailing about.)

Please bear with me as I try to finish restoring Firefox after a spam attack that got around MalwareBytes, SuperAntispyware, and Windows Defender. I am missing a large collection of bookmarks, and until a day or ago, I had not the foggiest idea what it was called, as I had started it quite a long time ago and had not encountered any problems.

I knew that, whatever it was, was still on the computer as I had caught a glimpse or two of it. Two days ago, I found it: I clicked on the three-dot icon in the top right-hand corner of Firefox, selected Bookmarks, scrolled to the bottom of the list, and clicked on Manage Bookmarks, whereupon I found my compilation named Bookmarks Menu.

I had, more or less accidentally found, several days ago that there is supposed to be an icon specifically for that entry. I thought that I had kept a copy of what the icon looks like; sadly, I just saw that I had not so done.

However, I sort of recall what it looks like, with, I believe a star and something else, and it is supposed to be found in More tools, Customize toolbar icon collection. I looked there, with my miscreant note about the icon I need to restore the use of Bookmarks Menu; the icon was not there (and is not now, I just looked.) I don't even remember how I found the text about the icon, which had an image of it, alas.

If anyone can assist me, that would be, obviously, greatly appreciated.

My hard drive crashed and I have recovered the files. I have found the latest recovered profile but can't integrate the bookmarks and passwords into my current FF. I've read the how to articles but can't switch profiles. Help thanks.

I had four windows open with a few tabs in each. After a hard reset of my computer, Firefox doesn't recall any of those windows so I have no way to restore them. This is keeping me from accessing two different Outlook accounts. Any suggestions are helpful. I do not have a "restore previous session" option anywhere. Running 133.0.3 on Max OSX 14.7.1.

I inadvertently installed a new version of Firefox/Mozilla and all the previous bookmarks I had saved now appear to be gone. I don't want to try to recreate my list of bookmarks again, is there a way to get them back? I tried doing an import of bookmarks but it's only showing a few of them and not nearly as many as I had before. anything you can suggest would be very helpful!

My hard drive recently crashed but I was able to recover all the c drive files. I found the firefox profiles and have copied the entire folder onto my desktop in the new windows 11 computer. I can't seem to sync those bookmarks and passwords to the firefox. I think I need to change the default profile but can't get that to happen. I have copied the profile from the crashed computer to the profiles folder on the new one. Please help guide me through the process.

Thanks very much.
