Hello

I had some problems in my PC overall that I had to do the 'Reset' but with the option 'Keep my files'. Consequently, all programs are deleted or uninstalled, obviously including Firefox.

I did not have my account synced on the PC, so would there possibly be any way to get to recover the browsing history or that's it.

I also had one notebook add-on, but I believe it is impossible as long as the account is not synced. Just asking in case there may be a chance.

Any hope about the browsing history anyway ?

Hi Mark

Unless you have backed up the Firefox profile on your computer, it will not be possible to recover the browsing history.

Thank you. Sounds great, yet bad of course.

For future reference, how is that done and how much does it include ? Just browsing history or also extensions and more stuff ?

I don't usually sign in to accounts, does this backup file include that ?

I believe there should be some page or source that answers all these questions since you mention it, can you please refer it ?
