After saving the artwork via the favorite button. Clicking on my favorites and there's nothing here just a blank white page. I had many artworks stored there now they are all probably gone forever.

Hello @arine98A6,

Thank you for your message. I am sorry you are having this problem. These questions and answers are from the document: Everything you wanted to know about Favourites in Adobe Firefly:

Q: I cannot find my favourites! What happened to them?

A: Are you using the same browser on the same computer where you favourited them? Because they are stored in the browser cache, you can only access a favourite in the same browser on the computer or mobile device it was favourited on.

 

Q: I am using the same browser and all my favourites disappeared. It is the same browser on the same computer. Can I get them back?

A: Unfortunately, if you are using the same browser on the same computer and they are no longer there, they are most likely gone forever. This could happen if, for example, you cleared your cache in the browser, used a utility program that claims to clean up space on your computer (which frequently includes deleting the browser cache), or ran out of disk space (causing the browser to delete them).

 

I said "most" likely, because there are steps you can take to rewind your cache if you had already been backing it up, but most people do not do that. My primary platform is Mac and I back my browser cache up with Time Machine on the Mac, so I can go backwards in time and restore my cache from a point in time. This has saved me a few times when something was deleted from my cache and I was able to roll the cache and settings back a day. If Windows was my primary platform, I could do something similar on it.


My best,

When i'm using Google Chrome, "favorites" page of Adobe Firefly shows me "you have no favorite images yet". Microsoft Edge dont have such issue.

Favourites are actually stored within the browser, so they are only visible in the specific browser on the specific computer they have been saved in. They are not stored in Creative Cloud. The best way today to be able to return to the creation page of images across browsers/computers is to use the Copy link function and then paste the URL it generates in a common location.

 

Adobe has heard from many of us that this is not a reasonable situation and have said they are considering alternatives.

Unfortunately, I believe that the information stored in the browser's local storage was corrupted.
If you delete a filrefly favorite, you delete the browser's cookie and storage, but once you do this, the favorite cannot be recovered.
The same goes for unintentional disappearances.

It is a good idea to save the prompt text separately or retrieve and save the link in case of trouble.

Unfortunately, they can not be recovered if you cleared your cache.  Please read this post for more information: https://adobe.ly/48Y4uy1

I have been wanting to download images fom my favorites folder  (I have only ever been able to download 1 image successfully). However, whenever I go to click on an image in my favorites, the images go grey and never end up loading. If I try to download an image from the favorites homepage by clicking the download button, the download never begins.

Are you getting any errors? Is your browser up to date? 

Favorites don't carry from browser to browser, but I'm curious if this happens in other browsers.

Favorites are saved using your browser data, so they won't be available on another browser, in incognito mode, or if you clear your browser data. When you first sign in, you might need to refresh the Favorites page to view your favorites. 

 

However, with the latest release of Adobe Firefly at MAX you can now save your favorites to your Creative Cloud Library. Read more about that here: https://helpx.adobe.com/firefly/using/whats-new/2024.html#save-to-library

@imxitiz  Favorites are saved using your browser data, so they won't be available on another browser, in incognito mode, or if you clear your browser data. When you first sign in, you might need to refresh the Favorites page to view your favorites. If you're low on available disk space, the browser might delete your favorites.

Hey everyone! Favorites are saved locally to your browser and will not carry over to different browsers or machines. (Ex: Chrome --> Safari --> Firefox.)  Please also be aware that your favorites will only save if you have enough memory on your machine.
