Avast Secure Browser update deleted all my settings(cookies) for all my websites

I appreciate that we were finally updated to Avast Secure Browser, but I really don’t appreciate that I now have to REDO all my logins, settings, etc. on all the websites I regularly visit- such as mail, google, my weather site, my bank, etc. etc.
Importing settings from the old browser did not fix any of this. This is a giant pain in the ass, to be honest.

I LOVED the old browser.

Is there any fix for this?

I turned on my computer this morning to find this new browser self installed and took away all my shortcuts and folders. I am pretty upset about this. Funny how they always tell us that their new stuff is always improved. Where are the improvements? If I had known about this, I would have saved all my shortcuts and folders. Now I’m SOL. They should have at least warned us and given us the chance to save our shortcuts and folders. I tried to find them in My PC but nothing is listed as shortcuts or folders for Avast. You can’t even contact Avast to complain. At least I can’t find where to contact them. All you get is a list of unrelated links. No help at all. Plus the Download Button has disappeared. That was a feature I used a lot.

please answer this Avast ! I’m having the same problem
