Firefox automatically updated my browser to the latest (44.0a2) and after the update, I lost all my data': bookmarks, history, speed dials of saved websites and all my saved passwords. It also created a folder OLD FIREFOX DATA, how can I restore all my lost data, especially my saved websites in the FVD SPEED DIAL? Btw I havent back up those dials.

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox?

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.

These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backup of files that you choose.
