Why is Firefox now wiping my profile with each update?
When I upgraded to Firefox 30.0, all of my data was wiped: history, add-ons, bookmarks etc. It's not just that Firefox is using a different profile - my Profiles folder had nothing in it.
Exactly the same thing has now happened in upgrading to 31.0.

Separate issue; Update your Shockwave Flash v14. http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ The link for Flash Player is: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) {web link} FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more. In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your saved files individually into installable .xpi files. It will also make backup of files that you choose.

Did you look in the profiles folder? Open the file browser / explorer on your computer. Depending on your system, you need to find this folder; C:\Users\=<User Name>=\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox
Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder Old Firefox, or something like that?
