Just loaded Firefox and an auto update took over to above mentioned version. Suddenly my browser was gone. All bookmarks, history, passwords and all add-ons that I have worked to accumulate are gone. I use my computer mostly to search the web for info on autoimmune treatments, which I unfortunately have. I had over 2 years of information, hundreds of bookmarks at least and many, many passwords and cannot start again. How can I get this all back or am I totally dead? Has anyone gone through this and got all this stuff back? Thank you for reading this. John

Version 20.0.2 of what?


Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox? Look inside. Look for the folder with the latest creation date.

Type about:profiles<enter> in the address bar. How many profiles are listed? How many should be there? Also, open the profile folder in your file explorer.
