Hi, Firefox started crashing repeatedly today. I uninstalled it using CleanMyMac and reinstalled it again trusting that my saved account would recover all the saved data, bookmarks, logins, extensions etc. Well...all is lost. Is there a way to recover at least the bookmarks? Or should I prepare myself to say goodbye to years of research:/

If there was no sync data between devices there is nothing that can be restored here. If this was single install then this lost data isn't fault of Firefox or Firefox forum..

Do you know whether CleanMyMac removes Time Machine backups of the folders you erased? If not, you might have some files in a Time Machine backup that you could restore. As a Windows person, I can only suggest doing some searches about that, since I don't have personal experience.
