The passwords and usernames i have for my sites got erased, how can i get them back or reset them so when i open them they nolonger ask me por that info like gmail

Firefox deleted all of my saved usernames and passwords for the sites i allowed them, For instance I can no longer click gmail and be at my e-mail and see my email, but i am promoted for password and username.

''passwords and usernames i have for my sites got erased''
Did you have them after updating Firefox, or did you lose your passwords as well. If you lost everything you either created a new profile and are in it, or you accidentally/intentionally cleared your history (see picture link). If you cleared your history, the changes are permanent and they are gone.
If you cleared your history, except for bookmarks in backups, you will have to try for
#Data in an older profile, for most people this would only be if one accidentally created a new profile, such as during a Firefox installation.
#Your own backups
#Old password, cookies from Internet Explorer
Use the "Alt" key to temporarily see your toolbars. Use the view menu to display any toolbars that should be displayed, such as the Bookmarks Toolbar.
Check these:
*Do you have bookmarks Ctrl+B (Bookmarks sidebar), if you don't see your own bookmarks but you see those from when you first installed Firefox, you are probably in a new profile, using the Profile Manager could bring up another profile.
*Check your current bookmarkbackups for dates
:On current profile, you can check dates, and restore/replace current bookmarks from a backup. "Ctrl+Shift+B" to bring up the Library List, then in the "Import and Backup" menu, choose Restore to see what dates are available. This will tell you the last 11 dates you used your current profile in Fx5 (5 days if Fx3). You can restore if your bookmarks are messed up.
Profile: ''Find out if there are multiple profiles''
:type in '''about:support''' into the location bar<br>:Click on "Open containing folder"<br>:You are now in your current profile<br>:go up one directory level to "'''Profiles'''", where you can see if you have more than one profile directory<br>:files of interest (check last used/update dates) within profile: places.sqlite file, and within bookmarkbackups folder are .json bookmark backups for dates.
'''Deleting History/Lost History''' (Tools -> options -> Privacy), make sure you are not clearing in "Settings for Clearing History" anything but cache. The items you have check-marked there will be cleared at end of session if "Clear history when Firefox closes" is check-marked. If under tools you click on "Clear recent history Ctrl+Shift+Del" you should be asked for how much history to delete {1hr, 2hr, 4hr, today, everything} and what to clear in the details drop-down. Make sure when using the location bar you are displaying both "History and Bookmarks" so the AwesomeBar can look for items from both.

'''You should be backing your for Firefox profiles''', there is not a lot of data and you should be backing up frequently. The is a lot more data for other applications in you Windows user library and you should be backing up data from there as well.
When you backup all of your user data to external hard-drive (500GB to 3TB) your Firefox profiles would be included.
But this is about Firefox. For Firefox a thumb drive would probably suffice to backup one or more profiles.
'''backing up your Firefox Profiles''' (the following is all on one line)
xcopy C:\Users\''<username>''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.* g:\profiles\*.* /s /d /h /y /c /q

  • I did the 8.0.2 update and no longer have my speak to text microphone down by the smileys.  Don't want to use audio text.  How can I get this back?

    Hey there tjbliven,
    It sounds like you are not able to use the dictation feature of iOS 8, becuase the microphone icon is missing. It seems to me like Siri may be turned off, which would cause the icon to not be there:
    Siri settings - iPhone
    To set options for Siri, go to Settings > General > Siri. Options include:
    Turning Siri on or off
    That should get the dictation feature back for you.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • I cut and pasted a description from the Internet. It posted as a link in iPhoto. It seems to have made a global change--all my descriptions are now blue, underlined, and Times Roman 12 rather than Arial white. How can I get this back to the default?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

    Make sure that your Apple ID is your email address and you do not have any other or old IDs associated with you. Go to www.appleid.apple.com and confirm this info. Make sure that the email address you are trying to sign up with is your primary one.

    You should be storing everything on your computer and you should always backup your computer.  Have you failed to do these things?
    If so, not good, then you can redownload some iTunes purchases in some countries.  Open iTunes store, click Purchased under Quick links

    The area on my toolbar where you can change the white balance mode is now gone form my toolbar.  How can I get it back?

    Your basic panel must have been accidentally deselected.
    Simply right-click on one of the other panels e.g. Tone Curve and choose basic again - see image below.
    You can also select solo mode, if you prefer to work in one panel at a time with the others collapsing automatically when you click on another tab.

  • I recently changed my e-mail hosting service, and all my mail in my iPhone just disappered, How can I get it back? How can I prevent from it happening again?

    Hey jartansmom,
    Thanks for the question. You may need to configure the outgoing mail server for the account. The following resource will outline how to navigate to these settings, however instead of adding a server, you’ll then want to update the settings with your correct username and password:
    iOS: Configuring additional outgoing mail servers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4519
    1. Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    2. Tap the Mail account for which you would like to change the settings. If you configured your account using any of the built-in presets, IMAP, or Exchange, you may need to tap Account Info on the following screen.
    3. On the Account Info screen, locate the Outgoing Mail Server section and tap the existing SMTP entry. A list of SMTP servers will appear with the Primary Server and Other SMTP Servers.
    If you need help with your mail settings, you can utilize this tool:

  • I added Lion and lost word!!!  Not happy! How can I get word back?

    The "genius" at the genius bar suggested I upgrade to Lion in order to sync I-Cloud.  He saw my computer and gave me no warnings about Lion
    deleting my Word applications.  Now I have a project I need to work on and cannot access my documents!  Also, I need to change the scroll back since I don't like the reverse mouse scroll that automatically happened with Lion.  How can I get Word back?

    Regarding your other question about scrolling: Lion is really designed with trackpads in mind.
    If you don't like the scroll direction then reverse it by un-checking "scroll direction: natural" in either your trackpad or mouse preferences.
    You can use any number of applications to open and save Word formatted documents. Some are free. MS Office 11 is not your only choice.
