I recently refreshed Firefox. Despite the message appearing that passwords and bookmarks would be saved, they have disappeared. Any help please ?

I have tried restoring bookmarks, but the message appears that this is not possible. Also, I can not currently save a bookmark. I click to save the site but nothing happens. Also on the main Firefox page there is no automated saving of frequently used sites.

Separate Security Issue: Update your Flash Player or remove it using these links; Uninstall Flash Player | Windows {web link} Uninstall Flash Player | Mac {web link}

Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.

Glad to help. Safe Surfing.


Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles.{web link} I use an add-on that makes backups of my user profile, Just In Case. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with the current Firefox.

Every now and then, open the profile folder and create a copy of the current profile as is to another location on your hard drive. This way you will have a backup.

If you do this each day, you will not lose much data. This should be done with Firefox Closed.

Note: In case you need to restore from these backups, you may need to overwrite old or corrupted files.

I found the folder but the none of the files will open. They try but the screen just goes back to the open folder again. Hope you can help, thanks
