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.

Hi FredMcD. Thanks for the info. No such folder but I'll check those links you gave me. Fingers crossed.
