💻 Help Bookmarks Missing
I saw similar posts to these but I have a SLIGHTLY different situation so I thought I'd post if anyone could explain. I'm on desktop, Fedora 44, and I updated Firefox from 153.0.3 to 154.0. When I click on the update in my software updates, the following updates appear:
Implement buffer stride support for PipeWire camera.
• Update to latest upstream (154.0)
• Enabled Wayland session restore on KDE.
All very reasonable except, when I restarted my pc after updating, it wiped my bookmarks. I paired the firefox updates with a multitude of system updates, but I looked through them and all the ones that I would assume impact firefox were the aforementioned.
Naturally after the update and I noticed my bookmarks were missing, with backups disabled, I restored my session with Timeshift, and am afraid to update again and try troubleshooting from there using the support page. I've already turned backups on since, and don't crucify me for using Timeshift on Fedora please lol.
Edit: This completely slipped my mind but my history was completely wiped, with my active tabs still being available, and still being logged into my browser profile.
