I booted my computer this afternoon and was shocked to find all my bookmarks and everything else was missing. I went to check my profile, and it was suddenly set to a different one. I ran firefox -ProfileManager and it's only showing one profile now, but my profile containing all my data is still in my AppData.

How do I get my profile back, or is it a lost cause?

Easiest to recover/restore a profile that doesn't show in the Profile Manager is to use the Profile Manager to create a new profile and click the "Choose Folder" button on the second screen to browse to the unregistered profile. Firefox will recognized this profile and use the files stored in the profile.

  1. open the Profile Manager
  2. click "Create Profile" and read the text
  3. click "Next" to proceed to the window where you can either accept the default or choose an existing folder to use for the profile
  4. click "Choose Folder" and browse to the profile folder you want to register

Firefox will recognize and use this folder and you will have access to all personal data (bookmarks and other data) that is stored in this profile.

Note that you should only use "Choose Folder" to point to an existing and valid profile folder or to an empty folder and never specify an existing folder that already contains other files that do not belong to Firefox.

RESOLVED!!!

I deleted the incorrect profile, and created a new profile with the correct name, and chose the file path to be to the correct profile's folder.

Now I have all my bookmarks and saved passwords back!
