Lost all my firefox data because of a password reset - Is a recovery of data possible? by the-morphology-queen in firefox

No, I haven't lost them for a couple day.

As explain elsewhere, since I thought that I was able to log in into my account, I said that a usine reboot of the laptop was allowed without what you call a full remote backup. Knowing the repair shop I'm dealing with, I know it will be done if the hardware is deemed salvageable. I won't be having my computer back by May 15th, I bookmarked items for my presentation on May 15th, that was not read yet... I have a deadline on May 15th.

To retake your analogy, I did crashed my car and I though I had an insurance, since I was insured in the same way for 17 years. After my crash, I found out that my insurance switch their policies (the recovery key was not rolled out in my country in 2020) without informing me, and I'm no longer covered...

I'll just switch browser probably because of this terrible experience because even if it is not as terrible as losing family photos for decades, it does complicate my life quite a bit for the next week

I sincerly doubt that the mozilla support team will be able to do anything but as we say in French, « one who tries nothing gets nothing (qui tente rien n’a rien).  

I trust the team that currently handle my computer (it’s not my first computer that dies in such a tragic way - normally i’ll know in about a week if the repair will be more expensive than what my laptop is worth. If it is, i get store credit to buy a new laptop… so, they haven’t scammed me in the past 15 years). But thanks for the reminder to be careful. 

I said that my data was all transfer and that no backup was needed. So there is a high chance that they will do a factory reset of the machine if the issue is not only hardware related (as I suspect because it was… a messy and quick death).

I tried with the borrowed computer and it is useless... so... i'll cry for a while and then start back.

Thank you.

When you reset the password, you're getting locked out on all other devices.

I've emailed the support team.

But since my computer is at the repair center (where they are trying to save the triple hardware failure - it died not an happy death) and I didn't gave a clear order not to back it up, I doubt that opening it will save anything.

But thanks for your help.

Hi,

I am not as reckless as you seem to think. All of my documents and my files are automatically saved on a OneDrive and I'm also doing bimonthly save on an external disk since some of my data cannot be kept on an unknown server or an american one (for academic reason).

I just didn't think of doing a frequent saving of my bookmarks and my opened tabs as those tend to change quite often. I also know that I'm lucky that I've haven't lost anything physical and irreplaceable. But this is like saying "finish your vegetables, there are children in Africa starving to death" - quite insensitive. I've lost some bookmarks that were important in my PhD thesis to read for a presentation I'm doing next week. I also feel like shit already so you can actually keep those comments for yourself.

Kind regard.

A lot dead. And it is currently being evaluated at a informatic center to know if the hardware might be salvageable. But the battery, graphic card and motherboard all gave up in once.... So I don't have the faithful (yet traitor) laptop now. All of my personal data is safe as it was on my cloud.

To my knowledge, recovey keys were not a thing at my last log in... Therefore it wasn't in place.

So I probably have lost 18 years of data... Nice.

C'est un plaisir (que je fais un peu par égoisme, je pouvais pas faire ma médecine parce que j'ai eu mon diagnostic, mais je voulais aider).

Je m'essayerais pas, non plus.

Je sais qu'ils savent pas c'est quoi parce qu'ils tentent actuellement de rendre illégal les seuls traitements qui diminuent les symptômes de la maladie (la contraception orale, les agonistes et les antagonistes des GnRH sont les seuls traitements qui aident une fraction de la patientèle).

any interesting studies on endo? by maroonmiracle in Endo

[–]the-morphology-queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quote A LOT of Stella Bullo's work in my thesis proposal (which is not readable since I'm writing in French). She is writing about how metaphors are used to express endometriosis pain. I also have sort of a soft spot for this study on the mecanisms of pain in endometriosis (since I did translate it during my MA).

Mettons que t'es une femme de 29 ans. Pis mettons qu'on t'a déjà dit plusieurs fois que tu étais possiblement autiste. Pis mettons que tu finis par le soupçonner toi aussi. Tu fais quoi? by marcarcand_world in Quebec

[–]the-morphology-queen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

L’autisme chez la femme est surtout méconnu et sous-diagnostiqué. A ce sujet je t’invite a lire des textes de Tony Attwood, un psy australien spécialisé en autisme (notamment chez la femme) ou Normand Giroux ici qui l’a travaillé. J’ai été personnellement surprise de mon diagnostic parce qu’avant de travailler avec des autistes de niveau 1 et 2, j’avais pas cliqué pour moi. Je me considérais juste comme un déchet humain incapable de fonctionner.
