I had to re-install firefox recently and lost all my bookmarks and passwords, how do I retrieve them? I have already saved them as an html file on my desktop.

I've been having problems with my computer, and had to delete Firefox entirely several times. I don't believe it was your browser that was the problem, though now I have lost all my saved bookmarks. I did export them to IE as an HTML file, which I still have on my desktop. I am now in the painful process of remembering and resetting passwords that Firefox remembered when I had it originally installed (I am back at ground zero with the browser now).

Please read this article about restoring bookmarks:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks
As far as your passwords are concerned, I don't think there's anything you can do. But for the future, you can use the following add-ons to avoid any future loss:

or

Both are good.
And a simple way to import your bookmarks (since you already saved it on your desktop as html) is:
Bookmarks / Organized Bookmarks / Import and Export
Good luck.

  • I updated my iPhone 5c to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events.  How can I get them back?

    I updated my IPhone 5C to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events.  How can I get them back?  I had it saved to the cloud but then changed it because I did not want to save everything to the cloud.  I changed it back and still don't have any events.

    Are they still listed on your device when you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Numbers?  If so, they should still be in iCloud but you may need to contact support to find out why the Numbers app isn't able to access them: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

    Updated my iPhone and lost contacts and picture. How do I retrieve them ?

    Hi NicoleTosi,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is not syncing after upgrading, you may want to try setting up syncing in iTunes again by following the steps in the article below. If you're syncing music, try un-checking and then re-checking the "Sync music" checkbox in iTunes.

  • After a recent Firefox update, I lost all my Bookmarks and recent sites visited. Also, I am unable to Bookmark any page now.

    After a recent Firefox update, all the Bookmarks I had saved, disappeared. Also, I am unable to scroll down to see the sites I had already visited and saved. Now, when I go to a page I would like to Bookmark, I am unable to do so. I will click on Bookmark This Page but it does not work.

    For the lost bookmark issue, see [[Lost Bookmarks]] and for the bookmarking issue, see [[Bookmarks not saved]].

    how do i get back to 3.6 as firefox 4 appears to have deleted all the old files. can i retrieve my bookmarks etc and where can i download version 3.6

    You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • I had to restore my computer and I lost all of my songs. How do I get them back?

    I did not realize you had to back up your songs so I never did. I had to restore my computer to its orginal state. Thinking that my songs would be safe. I was wrong. How do I get them back?

    You may not.
    You buy one and only one download.  it has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Since you have failed to do this, you could transfer itunes purchases from an ipod/iphone/ipad.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You could try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception but they are under no obligation to allow.

  • When Firefox updated, I lost all my BOOKMARKS besides my toolbar. Can't express how unhappy bar

    When Firefox updated, I lost the toolbar including the link for bookmarks. When I "searched" for Bookmarks it said I had none.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • My Contacts File in Applications has lost all name and addresses - how can I retrieve them?

    Out of the blue my Contacts File in Applications has lost all my names and addresses.  Is there any way I can retrieve them?  On my back-up systems they don't appear either.  Panic!
    Lecia

    Hello again
    Alothogh I could not find help on any of the Communities (that I could acyually understand) - I haven't a clue what I have just done but ALL my addresses have now shown up in Contacts.  Wish I knew what I had 'clicked" to achieve this - but as I have been "clicking" just about everything in sight - I am not sure what did the magic trick.
    Maybe, although I have answered my own query, someone could perhaps tell me what may have happened?  I THINK it was something to do with iCloud --- which is something I don't understand AT ALL!
    Cheers,  Lecia

  • Have new PC with windows 8. I own photoshop elements 9 and I have lost all my pictures, albums and tagging, how do I retrieve them?

    I own elements 9.  All files were backed up to a external hard drive and then downloaded to a new PC, with windows 8.  I have lost all my pictures, albums and tagging.  How do I retrieve all of this back into Elements 9?

    It appears that you have made a backup via Windows and not via the integrated backup/restore process in the organizer. Since the albums and tagging are stored in catalogs, they are lost unless you also made a backup of the catalogs themselves.
    The correct way to move your catalog(s) and images to a new computer:

    Is your old computer still useable ?

  • I can't remember my user name and password how do I retrieve it

    I can't remember my username and password to open my laptop

    Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
    Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
    When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
    In Terminal, type:
    resetpassword
    ...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
    Good luck,
    Clinton
