Mozilla mayhem for Mac 10.14
Something out of the ordinary occurred the other day when my copy of Firefox no longer was able to connect to the internet. A bit of searching revealed that my Mac system no longer compatible with Firefox 115.4
The Mozilla website clearly showed that older Mac systems, such as 10.12 10.13 and 10.14 were no longer able to work with the latest Firefox update and to download Firefox 115 ESR version.
After starting it up the newer version just showed a brand new version without any of my often used bookmarks, extensions, history etc.
I believe it’s possible to return all those often used elements to my everyday browser experience but just how, befuddles me! Perhaps there is a website detailing this information?

pcd2k, I am not familiar with Macs, and the following is written with Windows in mind. But hopefully you can adjust where needed.
It may be the case that Firefox has created a new profile, but your original profile still exists with all your bookmarks and other data, on your hard drive.
Do you, for example, have a folder named "Old Firefox Data" on your desktop? Firefox would create this folder as a copy of your old profile folder if it refreshed.
Firefox will also, by default, save profile folders in the following directory: C:\Users\<your Windows login username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles)
If Firefox has created a new profile, and you knew the location of the old profile folder, then you could restore your original data by following the steps in this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles
(But you may wish to backup your new profile, as explained in the article, before attempting a restore. And to also backup the old profile folder before the restore)
You could also try just copying individual files from the old profile to the new profile (while Firefox is not running).
See the section "Your important data and their files" here, for the files to copy: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile#w_your-important-data-and-their-files
(see the previous post for ideas on where to find the new and old profile folders, and I would once again advise to keep backups of all files that will be transferred or replaced)
