Firefox lost my entire history and bookmark lists
when is ladybird coming out?
>>
uh? how
>>
I had the same, my entire data was deleted, like two weeks ago.

It's quite impressive how fast the firefox, an already shit software, is getting worse
>>
>>109422985
There are automatic back ups. Happened to me too.

If it lost your profile, you can recover it. It's quite easy once you know how.

>find the profiles.ini file in C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\
>Open it with notepad
>Replace replace the first and third profile names with the profile you originally had (you can still find its name and data in the Profiles folder in that same Firefox folder I mentioned earlier).

I'm referring to the one right under [Install****] and then the one under [Profile0], you can ignore [Profile1], replace those and your old profile should be restored along with bookmarks and history.

I've only had this happen to me after BSODs, never after updates. I'm not trying to defend Firefox, it's shitty that this happens, but it's easy to fix.

Subprofiles (which are the regular multiple profiles in Firefox, very confusing that they use the same name for both) should be restored as well as they are tied to the main profile, but I don't really use them so I can't say for sure.

Also, if you're using only a single profile, it should be easy to find as it has .default-release in its name.

Why do you expect a webbrowser made by one mentally ill transvestite to be necessarily better than a webbrowser made by several mentally ill transvestites?
>>
same. i restarted my display server and when firefox turned back on, all my tabs were gone with no option to recover the session. these trannies are vibecoding the whole thing i think
>>
>>109423086
Or this
https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/ladybird-appimage
>>
>>109422985
i compiled ladybird the other day and tried it out
almost every website crashed
>>
>>109423075
the only way it can do that is if you make a new profile or some shit, just goto the appdata folder and copy it to the new profile, or just load the other profile.
>>
>>109423282
Ladybird is made by a chud /g/tard.

>Browser in alpha crashes
No way
>>
>>109423075
Trannyfox usually have backups of your profiles. You can try to look for them. Good luck
>>
>>109422985
Never.

>>109423001
This is starting to sound like a bravetroon demoralization thread.
>>
>>109423414
Thanks, now I have no excuse not to try it on my potato.

>last day of july
Where is the This Month in Ladybird post?
>>
I swear Firefox has the most "wow it's bad!" threads on /g/ out of all software. Haven't had an issue in like 15 years so I'm thinking either gigantic skill issue or paid anti.
>>
this is an extremely common issue and it happens with all browsers. you have to download plugins. i use tab session manager so i can keep all of my tabs for example. if i lost them i might anonymous hero no joke.
>>
>>109422985
It lost your profile, your backup profile, and the copy on Sync and the one in your actual backups? That's quite a trick. Have you run memtest+ recently?
>>
>>109424843
why do you need plugin for it? firefox have restore session naturally. under burger icon, history, restore session.
>>
>>109425023
like i just said that shit doesnt even work 9/10 times.

Probably related to this bug. They claimed that downloading Firefox from firefox.com and installing it over your existing installation will repair it.
https://github.com/servo/servo/releases/latest
In other news, Servo took a baby step and just reached version 0.4.0
I just can't wait til Ladybird or Servo finally get stable release. Sick of this piece of shit browser
>>
>>109425065
wow it's still trash
>>
>>109425065
Browsers will always suck as long as you let ad companies write web standards. It's not possible to write a good one because they have to keep standards complex enough to hold normalfags hostage to Chrome and Webshit.

Only happened to me when i reversed to an older release

no it didnt

>>109425083
This is Cloudflare's fault. They blacklist browsers their fingerprint system doesn't recognise so when a brand new version of Firefox comes out their shitty system blocks everyone until learns that this is in fact a browser normal people use.

>No extensions
It's fucking trash.
>>
>>109425965
lmao what the fuck is this
even for beta software it looks trash, should be called alpha if anything
>>
>>109422985
restore it from your backups
