@Maicol045 Need to backup before reinstall or update. But you didn’t do it. It is your bad luck to reinstall automatically. I am sorry to say that I have no any solution. May be some guys will help you. Wait for another persons. If you try to contact this person he will help you better. @eljuno

Hello @Maicol045 and thanks for tagging me @nabin786.

You should see the similar round icon at the upper-right of your browser.

Seems like you “accidentally” created a new browser profile.

Yoi can click that icon to navigate between profiles. And I believe you should see your old profile there.
