I updated Firefox browser on my android yesterday and now all of my tabs, bookmarks and history are gone! Wiped away. Any way to get ANY of those back again? Thank you.

Hi

Did you have them synced to another copy of Firefox on another device? Otherwise it may not be possible to recover them.

I updated Firefox browser on my android, too, and my Tabs and bookmarks are gone. Is there a way to get them back? Thanks

Thanks for responding. No, I don't have them synced. (I don't understand why the browser developers would design a system that loses our information when we update the browser)

Is there no backup of the information, or a data folder in my android to find the information, please? Thanks.

Not that you could easily get to or with no risk to your device, no.

You're saying that I would have to root my device, right?

Yes, but I would not recommend it as it could lead to greater and worse data loss.
