I tried grouping tabs without reading the book first and have lost all my tabs, I've now read the book; how do I get them back?

I have about 120 tabs in my Firefox navigation bar and clicked on the "customise..." in the dropdown menu from a right click. Up came the opening panel showing all my tabs fanned out, one on top of the other and I didn't know what to do. I guess I must have clicked on them to see what happened but there was nothing obvious so I closed the pop-up screen.
I think it was then that I had a new tab screen appear which I closed and found I could not do anything on my screen that still showed all the tabs.
I am using Ubuntu and Firefox 6 and when I first started Firefox it was embarrassed and had to restart because it had trouble with my tabs. I did not close any of them, just restarted Firefox and it apparently started properly, but the more I think about it the less I remember.
I think looking at tab groups was probably the first thing I did. So I tried to restore all tabs from the history menu but couldn't do so. I found that the "New tab" on File was blacked out.
I was able to "open all in tabs" from the recent bookmarks in the bookmark menu, but couldn't add any new tabs.
In the end I went to Firefox Help and read about Tab Groups. At one stage, I did not have the group icon on the navigation bar so I put it there. When I clicked on it it opened all my recent bookmarks, as per the end of the previous paragraph, in one screen and allowed me to shift individual tabs around. But I cannot do that now.
I have two screens under Firefox that have the "New Tab" under File blacked out and I cannot put the Group icon on the navigation bar.
I have a third screen, this one I am using, that has navigation to Firefox Help, Firefox Password Reset, TalkTalk mail and FirefoxAsk a question. On this screen I have put the Group icon and all the dropdown menus are complete. (Incidentally, I used the TalkTalk tab to open my mail as part of resetting my password and the content of the email is one of the screens that has the "New File" blacked out.)
I am now in the situation whereby I have all my history for the last six months or more and all the bookmarks scattered around in the Library and it will be a lot of work to get back to my original tabs.
Is ther anywhere that the old navigation tabs my be stored?

Unless your photos were backed up somewhere, they're gone.  They were wiped off your phone when you restored it from your wife's data.

  • I updated my 3GS to the ISO 5.1.1 .  It seems to have wiped my phone clean of apps, contacts, notes, etc.  How do I get them back?

    Hi all,
    I updated my 3GS to the ISO 5.1.1 .  It seems to have wiped my phone clean of apps, contacts, notes, etc.  How do I get them back?
    Appreciate for your guide amd help.

    All apps should be in your iTunes library along with all other iTunes content that was on the iPhone.
    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer.
    Notes can be synced with a supported app on your computer as well.
    Contacts and notes are included with your iPhone's backup but not any iTunes content which should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Your iPhone's backup should have been updated as the first step during the update process. If the backup was not restored, try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from that backup.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    This suggests you don't have the right operating system. OS X 10.7.2 or better is required for iCloud, which operating system do you have.

  • I recently had to replace my phone. And when I backed it up from the last back up, no all apps or songs that I have purchased on my phone were sinc-d to my computer, how do I get them back

    I recently had to get a new phone due to damage. But when I backed it up from the last back up which was a week ago, it didn't put any apps or songs that I purchased on my phone during the last week. How do I get those back?

    Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.

    You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly:  File>Transfer Purchases  , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
    You buy one and only one download.  It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

  • Started firefox today and for some reason all the bars are missing which includes the bookmark button, back button, really everything...I have tried for hours to get them back and even did a restore to my system, no help...how do I get them back

    all the bars at the top of the page have gone missing including the back button, everything...how can I restore them?

    '''Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)
    Press ALT V T M (CTRL V T M on Macs) on your keyboard. This should restore the menu bar (Firefox 3.6) You can also restore the menu bar by pressing Alt and going to View | Toolbars | Menu bar
    '''Navigation Toolbar'''
    Press Alt V T N (CTRL V T N on Macs) on your keyboard.
    '''Other toolbars'''
    View | Toolbars | Select the desired Toolbar
    '''Other steps to try'''
    Try restoring the default set by going to View | Toolbars | Customize | Restore Default Set. This will put the toolbars back in the default place. This would be a good idea if you are missing specific icons on the Navigation Toolbar
    '''Safe Mode'''
    You May need to reset toolbars and controls via [[Safe Mode]]
    Make sure you completely close Firefox first. When you get to the Safe Mode window, select Reset toolbars and controls and then Make Changes and Restart.

  • I have a group of macs that were osx but are now windows xp. How do I get them back to osx?

    I need help getting some macs to being macs. The last guy working on them didn't understand them so he changed them all to windows xp. Now I would like to get them all back to osx. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Yeah I tried that but it won't load because windows hard drive setup is different than the macs. I need to figure out what I need to change from the disc utility to allow osx to install on the hard drive.

    In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
    iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum.

  • I mounted my external hard drive to a pc and now I don't have edit or write permissions on my Mac (read only). How do I get them back without erasing the drive?

    Hello all, I am a photographer and have my portfolio, edited and raw images backed up on a Seagate Free Agent External Hardrive. I mounted my external hard drive to a pc recently and now I don't have edit or write permissions to it on my Mac (read only). How do I get them back without erasing the drive and loosing my valuable work?

    If you re-format it you will lose all the data on it!!!!! So make sure you have backed up the drive or moved all the data on it to another external HD or the internal HD on your iMac.
    Below is an Apple Advice letter that explains how to format an external HD, it's written for Aperture but you can use the instructions to formate any external HD.

  • Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Ok this is bizzare!
    Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
    So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
    AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
    I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

  • I purchased songs via my ipod touch.  when I sync'd my ipod touch with my computer, the songs I purchased disappeared into a black hole... how do I get them back without having to repurchase?

    i purchased songs via my ipod touch.  when I sync'd my ipod touch with my computer, the songs I purchased disappeared into a black hole... how do I get them back without having to repurchase? 

    On your iPod Touch, open the iTunes app. There should be tab named "purchased", which shows all your purchase history. Choose the "Not on this iPod" tab and you'll get a list of purchased products that are not on your device. Hope this helped.
