If I uninstall/reinstall Firefox, will I lose my bookmarks?

I want to uninstall then reinstall Firefox in an attempt to correct the following issues: (1) Firefox keeps prompting my user names/passwords, thus creating a security hazard; (2) Firefox is continually crashing. I want to know whether uninstalling firefox will cause me to lose my bookmarks, and if so, how can loss be prevented?

If you have submitted Breakpad crash reports then post the IDs of one or more Breakpad crash reports (bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx).
You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the about:crashes page. 
You can open the about:crashes page via the location bar, like you open a website.

Recently downloaded latest version, will I lose my bookmarks if I replace the old mozilla ?

I'm currently using the 13.0.1.
I just downloaded the latest verison of Firefox.
The new version asks me to replace the old one.
I'm very happy with firefox, but how do I make sure I do not lose my bookmarks and passwords and details stored on my current Firefox.

The new - actually, any - version of Firefox is separate from your profile and from data in it, like bookmarks, passwords etc. You can of course export it to be extra sure:
[[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
I dont know, however, if this includes information on your version. See the following on how to make a copy of the relevant information
[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
Let us know, if it helped

If I re-install firefox, do I lose my bookmarks?

If I re-install firefox, will I lose my bookmarks. I seem to have lost the execute file and Firefox will not open.

For possible solutions to this error see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update
In particular see the section "Software update failed"

Not really a problem just would like to know if I install firefox 4 beta...will I lose my bookmarks already in my current firefox browers and is that the same for the farmville game bar from facebook

It should not be a problem, as long as you are careful. Note the delete settings option when uninstalling firefox will delete bookmarks etc for ALL installed versions of firefox.
Firefox attempts to retain the profile information, that include bookmarks etc when updating. It may still be prudent to consider other backup methods not entirely dependent on firefox.
The firefox 4 beta will install by default in a slightly different location, you are then able to run either the current or the beta version of firefox. It is recommended you set up a new profile for the new version of firefox. see

Firefox crashes within a minute everytime I open it. If I reinstall will I lose my bookmarks?

For the past three days, Firfox crashes within a minute to five minutes everytime I open it. However, when I open "organize bookmarks," It crashes immediately. I just want to find a way to save all my bookmarks. But I cannot even get Firefox to stay open long enough for this. If I delete my current version and reinstall, will I lose my bookmarks. also what do you suggest I do. I love Firefox and am really upset that I may no longer be able to use it.
Thanks, RJS

Does anyone think this is a problem with the newest update of Firefox? I never had this problem before.

If i update itunes will i lose my apps and contacts and the other contents?

if i update itunes will i lose my apps and contacts and the other contents?

No. In fact, it is possible to uninstall iTunes and then re-install iTunes without losing any content.
Removing, updating, and repairing the application has no affect on the media stored on the system.

Will I lose my bookmarks if I have to reinstall Windows and then download Firefox again?

I have to reinstall Windows XP. I will of course lose all of my programs and will have to reinstall Firefox. When I do that, will I lose my bookmarks, passwords, and other settings?

You should back them up before re-installing Windows. The user data is stored in the profile folder. You can copy the data manually by copying the contents of the profile folder, for details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup Profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] or [[Backing up your information]].
There are some add-ons and utilities that can make this process easier. The first one is the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109/ FEBE] add-on which can be used to copy a profile. Another option is the free [http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ MozBackup] utility.

If I update to Lion will I lose any of my files, apss or music I already have?

Files no, but if they depend upon software that there is no version for 10.7 then they won't open.
Apps yes, if they are not Intel processor versions or updated to work with 10.7

Music no, as you can always use those just about anywhere, the only exception is if you purchased copy protected music and the program required to play it hasn't been updated for 10.7, much like your files.

HT1222 If I update my iPad will I lose everything on it?

If I update my iPad will I lose everything on it?!

Backup your iPad first and if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup, I have never, ever lost anything when I updated any of my iDevices going back to iOS 3.x and I am now on iOS 6.1 the very latest iOS on my Pad 3.
What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.
Transfer purchases.

Latest update of Firefox is REALLLLLY slow. Is it just all the extra functionality that has been added or is there a button I need to press to make it the same speed as it use to be. Can I downgrade to last version?

If I open new sync accounts so that I can synce bookmarks from android phone to new desktop, will I lose my bookmarks in android and thus lose them all forever?

My old desktop crashed. My new desktop has the most recent version of Firefox and the new sync feature. Unfortunately, none of my bookmarks from the old desktop/Firefox transferred to the new desktop. My android phone (GS3) and android tablet both still have all of my bookmarks, but I cannot get them to sync to the desktop. I have read (and reread) the instructions for opening new sync accounts for all devices, etc. so that they are all compatible and sync will work again. I am afraid that if I do that, I will lose all my bookmarks from my android devices, and then they will be lost forever, which defeats the whole purpose of setting up new sync accounts. Can you confirm that if I open new accounts on all devices that I will not lose my bookmarks from my phone and tablet, which now have the only record that I can access to recreate them all manually (god help me)on my desktop if that is my only alternative?

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, that doesn't solve my problem. I have given up and just re-entered my bookmarks manually to my desktop computer.

When I attempt to open iphoto, I get the loading icon in the working space/picture area. If I try to reinstall ilife '11, will I lose any pictures? Where, on the hard drive, are all my pictures actually stored?

You won't lose anything because you have a back up, right?
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

If i unistall my old firefox would i lose my bookmarks

if i uninstall firefox would i lose my bookmarks , only because i keep getting a message on the main [home] window when i start up firefox that i am not on the latest version. however,i have upgraded twice or more and still get the message.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It you delete the account, you don't delete the data on the account. So if you log back in, everything will sync back again.
If you are asking if the data will stay on the phone, you have the option to keep it or remove it. You might be better turning each service off one by one here, before actually deleting the account.

Windows 7 ffox 1.6.16 installed office 2010 intimated cannot open link outlook firefox default browser, firefox will not initiate at all. Have to restart to get any response from firefox which then works but it crashes again. No error message

Windows 7, firefox 1.6.16 just installed office 2010, sometimes cannot open a link in outlook and firefox is my default browser, and firefox will not initiate at all. Have to restart computer to get any response which then works but after a while it crashes again. Was this due to an update or office 2010 has a hidden setting somewhere? Why would firefox crash without any message? Intimated consuming

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.
