Firefox bookmarks etc missing after uninstall

[michaepr]

Hello,

I have just uninstalled firejail after using it for many years on my Arch Linux system. On restart my firefox profile (bookmarks, etc) has disappeared. I believe I now have the profile I used before installing firejail in the first place. Is there a way I can get back the profile with all my data? If it was deleted during the uninstall I could use a semi-recent backup where firejail was still installed.

Thanks for your help!

It sound like you used something like private ${HOME}/my-private-firefox-home. If that's the case, you can use firefox --profile ${HOME}/my-private-firefox-home/.mozilla/firefox/PROFILE (but create copy of the profile first, just to be safe).

Worked perfectly, thank you very much!
