Firefox updated today and now I have lost ALL of my Firefox history - bookmarks, browsing history, stored login info, tabs I had open for reading, everything. Has anyone else had this happen? How do I fix it? Can I uninstall the update and see if they come back?

Sounds like the browser id a refresh.

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox? Look inside. Look for the folder with the latest creation date.
