I've recently upgraded my ubuntu version from 20.04 to 22.04. After this my firefox is missing all my passwords and profile etc.
Is there any way to get them back, I did not anticipate this happening when I upgraded!
(After googling, I know that this issue is related to the new version being a snap and the old version being something else. I'm a long term Ubuntu user, but these terms mean little to me, and I choose ubuntu precisely because, in general, I don't have to be a computer scientist to get it working for my needs, so would appreciate answers in plain terms please)
Edit: have found an answer (from here) :
Uninstall firefox snap with:
sudo snap remove firefoxInstall firefox snap with:
sudo snap install firefoxRun snap with:
snap run firefoxWith the last command you should see the following lines in the terminal:
Importing existing firefox profiles from /home/xxxxxxx/.mozilla/firefoxFound default profile: xxxxxxxx.defaultImport done in 1.826 s
This worked for me.
