I upgraded from 21.04 to 21.10. Other (non-sudo) users of the computer reported that their Firefox profiles were lost.
I uninstalled the snap firefox, and installed deb firefox via apt. Their profiles "came back". I guess the snap firefox looks for profiles in a different location, and the profiles aren't transferred from the old deb-firefox location to the snap-firefox-expected location. It looks as though this transition to snap firefox has been done badly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1947257 Title: Partial profile loss on upgrade from 21.04 to 21.10 Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: In the upgrade from 21.04 to 21.10 I noticed it had updated firefox. When restarting some of my profile was kept (themes, addons, etc) but I've noticed my primary window of 50+ tabs was lost. It opened 3 other windows correctly. I tried to find it via "recently closed tabs/windows" but it's not showing up. I have also confirmed there are no duplicate profiles. Silly me assumed it was done correctly and when the upgrade process offered to remove old packages I did so I can't seem to retrieve the old profile.
