Updated Latest Version of Firefox and Lost Extensions

David Gargiulo

Hello

I installed the latest version of Firefox and lost my extensions. I already checked the Profiles folder to try and revert but there are only two profiles folders xxx.default and 8rizodoc.default-xxx where xxx is some hash.

What can I do? The way one of the extensions was set up cannot be rebuilt so I would lose access to some important information. It was pretty important information.

Is there something that can be done?

Hi Terry

Thank you for the reply. I already tried that and unfortunately there is only one profile: the default profile

This is what it says on the about:profile page profile: default This is the profile in use and it cannot be deleted

I also checked my past history and bookmarks and for some reason it seems they were imported correctly with the update ... only extensions are gone.

I wonder if there is a way to dig it out from the Win OS even if the update might have deleted it for some very odd and unfortunate reason.
