I recently noticed that some of my wallets were missing when i open my MetaMask on chrome.  
I tryed getting them back via the add new account method but it wont let me add anymore accounts. When I click on add new account nothing happens. Tryed using firefox and restoring the account via the seed phrase. When i add acounts here only empty “new” accounts are added but not my old ones. The accounts were all added to the main account and not imported.  
Appreciate any tips.  
Mayo

Hi friend! Did you use the correct seed phrase to restore your account and are you certain no addresses were imported?

Note: NEVER share your seed phrase or your funds will be stolen.
