Hope I helped!

Kind regards,

Hi Bithiah,I got my bookmarks back but not my passwords.How do I get them back from my old/default profile?Thanks for your help and I hope to hear from you again soon.

Hey there!

That's great news! Well except for not recovering the passwords. See here for steps to recover the passwords from the profile folder: https://mzl.la/3kbzrLb .

I am using a Mac so I am not entirely sure how the steps work as it is mainly applicable to Windows. If you're using a Mac, do tell so I can try to find the alternative steps.

Hope it works!

Hi Bithiah,Just wanted to let you know that all my passwords,usernames and websites showed up the next day when I started up firefox again.Is there a way to save all that information on my computer?So that I can print it out in case everything gets lost permantly?Thanks a million for everything you've been a big help.

I am glad I could be of some help! Well I recommend you to export your bookmarks and passwords and store them somewhere safe. So let's say the same issue of disappearance of bookmarks & passwords happens again, you can just import the files from earlier.

You can certainly print out the files but I think that would be unnecessary but it's solely up to you. I would recommend you to keep the files in a USB stick.
