Firefox automatically updated today & all my Bookmarks, History & all my Passwords have disappeared & i have searched everywhere on my PC & cant find them. I am desperate to restore them. I have followed instructions on Firefox to no avail. Where are to passwords, History, Bookmarks stored on my PC, bookmarks i can possibly get by without finding the old ones but i need my passwords & history. My Firefox settings still say Save History but since the update no history prior to today 5/07/21. PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP.

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.
