Annother theory: the snap stores profiles in $HOME/snap/firefox/common/.mozilla. Probably until 21.10 and since they changed to ff snap first time this was a symlink to $HOME/.mozilla. Now the install of the new ff snap in 22.04 replaced this symlink by a phsyical directory. So it had no profiles but the directory existed. So the import was not triggered at first start.
Maybe it is the even better workaround to just delete the $HOME/snap/firefox/.mozilla folder (or rename it) and restore the symlink to $HOME/.mozilla or just restart ff afterwards. However I haven't tested this yet. Am not sure what else is stored in the $HOME/snap/firefox which you would loose with the solution that was written first. -- 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/1969910 Title: Firefox lost passwords, saved tabs, settings after upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: After upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 from Ubuntu 21.10, Firefox lost its all passwords, saved tabs, settings.
