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?

    Have you checked syslog and apts logs?

    Also, simply uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox shouldn’t lose all your settings. Silly question, but are you sure you’re the same local user? Also, Firefox syncs this stuff so all sounds odd.

      I only have one user account.

      I don’t have a firefox account, so it’s not syncing. I don’t really care that much about that, it’s mostly troublesome because I need to re-approve all of my MFA logins.
