I’m running Ubuntu, and every once in a while, I boot up my PC and some app is missing that was there previously. Last night I shut down my computer, and this morning Firefox was missing. I lost all my browsing history, cookies, bookmarks, extensions, etc.
This has happened several times before. Does anyone know what’s going on? I know I’m not personally removing any of these apps. Is there something I could be doing unknowingly to do this?
Side note: do try out Firefox sync. It will only take a minute to setup, is pretty secure and most importantly saves your bookmarks, history, passwords, … so you don’t end up where you are today again. HTH
I get that it can be convenient, but I don’t want another account. Everybody wants me to sign up for everything, and my browser is not something I have a desire to sign up for. I already have bitwarden for my passwords. Losing my bookmarks and history is annoying, but it’s not something that should be happening anyway. I’m more concerned about my software uninstalling itself.
Well good thing is your Firefox profile should still be on the disk?
