How do i restore all my bookmarks from an earlier version of mozilla firefox?

Firefox has been reminding me to update my Firefox version. And I did. After installing the new version, it restarted my computer. Now the first thing I did is to restore my previous tabs, the tabs that were open when i upgraded Firefox. But there were no history of my tabs.
Then I started looking at my Bookmarks. I lost all my bookmarks. My heart is pumping now and I want to cry. these are years of bookmark collection from my various works. Am I being penalized?
Please help me. Can I just revert back to the old version? Will this permit me to access my old bookmarks (never mind the tabs, they are still fresh in my mind)? I can't even remember the old version of firefox I am using.
Why didn't Firefox made a warning?
I have been a user of Firefox for a long time. This is the first time that I have lost my bookmarks. This is painful. I seek your kind support. Thank you.

You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles?

    How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles (would like to move whole bookmark folders at once if possible) into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles? This is all under one window user account, I am using windows 8.1. Even if you have information on how to do it on a different windows, it may still be helpful. Thanks for any input you have.

    Just a note about the difference between these two things:
    * "export" and "import" use an ancient HTML document format that all browsers can understand. When you import bookmarks, Firefox may place them into an Imported Bookmarks folder, or into Unsorted Bookmarks. This does not displace existing bookmarks, and Firefox does not automatically remove duplicates.
    * "backup" and "restore" use a more comprehensive JSON data file, which contains extra information about your bookmarks (such as tags) not contained in the traditional export file. HOWEVER, a restore completely replaces all existing bookmarks, so the restore feature cannot be used to merge in a set of additional bookmarks.

    Some users find the disk-based Windows Favorites folder a convenient way to organize bookmarks. If you do, too, and you do not need to preserve tags on your bookmarks, you could export each profile's bookmarks to HTML and import them all into IE11. Organize them in the Windows Favorites folder, then export from IE11 to HTML and import that file into each Firefox profile.

  • My computer crashed and I lost everything. It was the only computer with Sync on it and I cannot get my recovery key: how can I get all my bookmarks from that Sync account?

    My computer crashed and I lost everything. It was the only computer with Sync on it and I cannot get my recovery key: how can I get all my bookmarks from that Sync account? I have a ton of bookmarks/saved password and the only way to get on sync is create a new recovery key and lose all of my information.
    Is there any way to get my stuff back without creating a new recovery key and losing all my old stuff?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a  backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • How do I recover all the pictures from the iPhoto version immediately before 9.4.1?

    How do I recover all the pictures from the iPhoto version immediately before 9.4.1?  I have a full system backup version from about one month before the switch , and mistakenly thought the new iPhoto would default to all my pictues as they were.  I also have backups made in Time Machine.

    Have you tried what's shown here?  I suspect this will solve your issue.

  • External hd that I used for data died... it is backed up on time machine... how do I restore all my data from time machine to a new external hd?

    I installed the Lion OS this weekend. After Spotlight tried to index my external hard drive (that I use to store all my data), the external hard drive died. I expected that to happen at some point. The hard drive was an old FireWire 400 LaCie that I had working with my 2009 iMac (FireWire 800) by using an adaptor cable.
    My Time Machine backs up both my Macintosh (internal) HD and my external data HD. I know I need to buy a new external drive to use to store my data.
    But, then what? How do I get all the content from the backups of the old external (data) HD to the new one?

    Another one that Apple doesn't make obvious.

  • New Computer Profile Created, Lost all My Previous Bookmarks! How can I restore my previous bookmarks from a past computer profile to my new profile? IE bookmarks were not erased, just my Firefox bookmarks.

    I was having problems with my Windows 7 computer, and HP assisted me in creating a new profile, and then deleting my previous profile (I'm the only user on my laptop). Unfortunately, I did not save my Firefox bookmarks - didn't think to do this! So, I have lost all my bookmarks. Is there any way to retrieve my old bookmarks from my previous profile, and install them into my new profile? IE did not suffer this same fate - all my bookmarks (albeit different ones and not as extensive, unfortunately as FF bookmarks were) are still intact.

    Oh no :/ Unfortunately, if you deleted the old profile without saving, my hopes are slim to none on this, but we can try!
    Try to search your computer for the file "Bookmarks.html". You can see if it finds it from your old bookmarks. If that doesn't, try looking for "places.sqlite". If you already have Firefox set up with your new profile, you may find the new versions, so make sure you check the dates of the files that are found.
    You can read [[Recovering important data from an old profile|Recovering important data from an old profile]], which has more tips.

  • How can I remove all my bookmarks from iCloud and start a fresh with only the ones on my iMac

    I accidentally deleted bookmark gilders on my iPad 4 and iCloud removed them from my iMac, iPhone 5, iPhone 4, iPad 2 and MacBook Pro.

  • How can I restore all the music from my iPod touch to a new iTunes/computer?

    I have an iPod touch 4th gen running on iOS6, a computer running on Windows 7, and iTunes version 10.7.0.21 (newest as updated today).
    Basically my laptop got destroyed beyond repair, the laptop that my iPod was synched to.
    I have iTunes now on another computer, how can I get my music from my iPod to the iTunes on the new computer? Even getting it onto the computer will do at this point, as I don't want to have to download/rip CDs to get my entire music collection back.
    When my iPod is plugged in I can click on 'transfer purchases' but this only restores the apps to iTunes.
    When I had my old iPod classic, and was using an older version of iTunes, when I plugged my iPod into a new iTunes it said something along the lines of 'there is music on this iPod that is not currently in your iTunes, would you like to transfer to iTunes?' But there is no option like this now, I don't know if it's because its a different and newer iPod, or because a newer version of iTunes.
    Please tell me there's a way to copy all my music from my iPod to my computer, and preferably straight into iTunes so I don't have to input all the info again.
    Don'tcha just miss the old 'copy and paste music' mp3 players you had as a kid? *sighs at how complicated technology got*

  • How can I transfer all my bookmarks from my old firefox browswer bookmarks using Windows Vista onto my new Windows 7 desktop?

  • How do I alphabatize all my bookmarks from the drop down menu with the star on the Right side of screen?

    I want to alphabatize all my bookmarks that are in the drop down menu, the menu with the star icon, on the right side of the screen. I do not want to put them in folders or view them in the box from the menu bar and all the answers pertain to that box, and not to the one with the star. Thank you

    I don't think it's possible from the toolbar button.
    However, the action you take in the Bookmarks Sidebar or in the Library dialog will affect the Bookmarks Menu everywhere it is displayed, including the toolbar button, so you only need to use it for the few moments needed to use Sort By Name and then close it.
    Bookmarks Sidebar (either):
    * View menu > Sidebar > Bookmarks
    * Command+b
    Library dialog (either):
    * Bookmarks menu > Show All Bookmarks
    * Command+Shift+b
    right-click "Bookmarks Menu" > Sort By Name

    Which Firefox version did you previously had?<br />
    Firefox should still use the same profile with all personal data.
    Is other personal data missing?
    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
