I have a Mac Pro (early 2008) running El Capitan (OS 10.11). Have used Firefox for years and have many bookmarks. They were all lost in the last upgrade to Firefox Quantum 61.0. The Restore feature did not work. My Profile, which contains the bookmarks, appeared to have been wiped by the upgrade. I've attempted to use Time Machine to reload an earlier version of Firefox but the Profile folder does not get restored along with the application.

How do I locate the Profile folder within a Time Machine backup so that I can restore my old Profile along with the Firefox application? Or is it impossible to isolate the old Profile because its embedded in the system software?

Hi NatsFan,

First, I am concerned that the upgrade may have removed bookmarks, did you see the Recover lost or missing Bookmarks article for help?

As for the folder to find where the Firefox Profile is in your Time Machine application, it will be in the same Library folder listed in this article:Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data

"Application Support folder, then open the Firefox folder, and then the Profiles folder. " is the part you may find helpful.
