I've updated Firefox today and unfortunately my previous bookmarks disappeared . how can I retrieve my previous bookmark list?

I updated Firefox today and all my previous bookmark list disappeared. I tried to use the "import and backup" tab and followed the directions of the Firefox page to backup and restore my previous bookmarks. Unfortunately, nothing happened. Could you please help me with possible advice/guidance on how to resolve this? This is the second time this happens, always when Firefox receives updates..

You appear to be using the Developer Edition / Aurora pre-release version, which creates a new Profile upon installation or update on the Aurora channel. Open '''Options > General''' and tick or untick the box at the top which says '''Allow Firefox Developer Edition and Firefox to run at the same time'''. Once you restart ''[as told to]'' you will "toggle" over to the other Profile, where your bookmarks are - ''hopefully''.
If you don't like "updates", why are you using an '''alpha-2''' version that receives an update every day?

    like roaminggnome said you should see your contacts again once you sync with iTunes. if you used iCloud before, make sure contact sync is turned on and your contacts should be back.

    Nope. I do the same exact thing. If you have DVD's and blu-rays you can't download a free application called Handbrake. You can set it to Apple TV2 automatic format and they will come out as playable m4v's that can play I'm iTunes. All you have to do is turn on Home Sharing in both iTunes and your Apple RV and you'll be good to go!

  • I just downloaded to the most recent version of Firefox, and lost my Delicious bookmarks. How can I retrieve them?

    I just downloaded the most recent version of Firefox, and my Delicious bookmarks have disappeared. How can I retrieve them?

    First, are you positive it is really not there?  Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
    If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup.  Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    don't just sign out!
    if you simply sign out, the stuff you recently purchased will be an issue in the future when an update comes out for apps or anything else. restore the device as new from itunes then restore from a back if you have one as stated above...or set up as new and use correct apple id. this will ensure you will be using the apple id that you used originally without issues from the new one.

    My kid accidentally removed my camera and apps store icon how can i retrieved it?

    These cannot be removed, as they are original Apple supplied apps.
    They may be buried in a folder somewhere.
    One way to retrieve them is Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
    It is possible your kid restricted these apps.  Check Settings > General > Restrictions

  • 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.
    Links:
    [[Menu bar is missing]]
    [[Navigation Toolbar Items]]
    [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]
    Hope this helps!

  • Just re-built my HD and re-installed Firefox and have my old HD external; how do I retrieve my old bookmarks

    I have access to my old program files under Mozilla in my external shell holding my old HD. How do I find the old bookmarks and move them to my new Firefox download on my new HD?

    See - http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
    Your old Profile is located here in Vista & Win7: <br />
    ''drive'':\Users\''Windows login user name''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\''profile_name''

  • 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.

  • When iPhoto '11 crashes after importing photos and videos, they are gone. How can I retrieve them?

    iPhoto '11 randomly crashes after importing/editing/organizing photos and videos. When it does, photos and videos that I've been working on are gone. Pictures taken with iOS devices can be retrieved if they are still in Photo Stream, but videos are gone. Is there anyway I can retrieve photos and pictures that are not saved before iPhoto crashes? Also, is there anyway to prevent it from crashing? It seems iPhoto '11 is doing this since the day 1 I started using it. Thank you.

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library
    this should help with the crashes - it may or may not help with the missing videos

  • The spry pop-up menu I built in Adobe Dreamweaver worked fine in my old Firefox, I updated Firefox today and the menu no longer works--despite disabling the pop-up blocker in Firefox preferences...what's the problem??? I need the menu to work!!!

    I built a new pop-up menu for my website using Spry in Adobe Dreamweaver. Because of some differences in .HTML and .XHTML
    it took me days to get it right. I tested every variation in Firefox until it worked perfectly. Today, I installed the newest version of Firefox and now the pop-up no longer works. I changed the preferences in Firefox to disable to pop-up blocker and it STILL DOESN'T WORK...although an older style of pop-up menu (menu machine) which is no longer supported by Adobe, DOES WORK.
    HELP!!! THIS IS IMPORTANT.

    pixlor:
    OP is using CS3 and the menu blog is talking about the menus
    in earlier
    versions of FW, so *most* of the points made in the blog
    don't apply.
    That's not to say that using CS3 pop-up menus is a *good*
    thing....

  • My restore didnt work when i updated to IOS5, and then it was overwritten. How can i get my old restore back??

    Ijust updated my ipod touch to ios5 and it didnt restore. i unplugged and reconnected my cable to the PC but when i reconnected it, it backed up over the restore i was trying to get.

    You can only get your old backup back, if you included it into your computer backup routine and could restore the backup folder for your ipod.
    If you have no other backups, your info is gone.
    iTunes and iOS do not support installing backups of newer versions of iOS onto devices using earlier versions of iOS.
    iTunes will not back up automatically if you are using iCloud.
    Have a new iOS device and need to move your previous backup onto it? Follow the steps in How to transfer your backup from one iOS device to a new device.

  • I have Firefox 19 and the screens are narrow. How can I get full width screens, like I get in IE? Full Screen command only makes my screens taller, not wider.

    I just got a new Dell Optiplex computer with Windows 7. I installed Firefox 19 on it. The web pages come up narrow, with borders on each side. So the content of the screen is smaller than what I've gotten in the past with Firefox 3.6 on my previous computer. I did the Full Screen command, and that only made the screen taller rather than giving me a full screen (such as I get with the same web pages in Internet Explorer). I've also tried enlarging the text, but that throws off the format of the web page so some parts of it overlap.
    What can I do to get a full screen, including full width?
    There is a box below this Details box called "Troubleshooting Information" which says I should click Allow and then click Install. Since I don't know what would be installed on my computer, I did not do it.

    The Troubleshooting Information extension adds some useful information to your post, but in this case, I don't think it's really needed.
    Zoom is your best bet. To make it work for you, I have two suggestions.
    (1) Switch from "text only" zoom to "full page" zoom. This is proportional like in IE.
    View menu > Zoom > ''uncheck'' Zoom Text Only
    If you are using the compact menus with the orange Firefox button, tap the Alt key to display the full classic menu bar.
    (2) Install an extension that can default your view to a higher zoom level automatically to save time when visiting new sites. Here are two candidates:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/ Default FullZoom Level]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/ NoSquint]
    With that combination, can you minimize your eyestrain? :-)
