I was having some performance issues, so I tried to clean up my PC with CCleaner. While doing so, I accidentally wiped out my Firefox Browser History. I tried System Restore to a couple of different "checkpoints", but it was still missing. Is there any way that I can get the history restored? Thank you for your help.

Unless you have a backup file somewhere . . . . . . . .

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 backups of files that you choose.
