Hi, I accidentally started Firefox instead of Brave so I stopped it before it totally loaded and then opened Brave but it wouldn’t start ever again. After some time I decided to uninstall Brave to the latest version (I don’t know the original version but it was installed in 2021 and updated with the OS) The OS is Fedora 40. While uninstalling Brave a box popped up say your data will be saved in… which I didn’t write down. None of my bookmarks or profiles came back with the new install which is 1.73.91 I can see Brave related files and folders in /.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/ that were created in 2021, are my profiles and data somewhere in there and if so is there any way to recover the old profiles,bookmarks and app extensions that I had?
Thanks
Description of the issue: How can this issue be reproduced?
Given your Fedora (Linux OS) installation, location of the ranking, important data folder - BraveSoftware - is in the path that you provided:
~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/
Your initial installation of Brave Browser (Linux OS - Fedora), would create your Brave Browser Profile number 1, and your Profile 1 data, would be in the “Default” folder:
~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/
If you add an additional Profile, that would be Profile number 2, and your Profile 2 data, would be in the “Profile 1” folder:
~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Profile 1/
Got that?
Inital “Profile 1”, is in folder “Default”
1st additional Profile is “Profile 2”, and that is in folder “Profile 1”
Meanwhile, back to what is within your “Default” folder:
