When i formate my computer and reinstall fire fox i lost all my bookmarks can i back to previous point of my bookmarks and passwords

i just cleared my history of browser before reinstall

You should always save important files before something like that.
Bookmark Backups
Type '''about:support''' in the address bar and press enter.
Under the page logo on the left side you will see '''Application Basics.'''
Under this find '''Profile Folder.''' To it’s right press the button
'''Show Folder.''' This will open your file browser to the current
Firefox profile. Now '''Close Firefox.'''
Enter the '''bookmarkbackups''' folder. This is where Firefox makes backups
of your bookmarks. Look for the '''jsonlz4''' file you want to restore
(check the time / date / size). Right click on that file and select '''Copy.'''
Now go back to the profile folder where you started. Rename the file
'''places.sqlite''' by adding '''.old''' to it. Now right click in the folder
and select '''Paste.''' The file you just pasted here, rename it to
'''places.sqlite.''' After you are done, restart Firefox.
Edited to correct file name error.

  • When I downloaded Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 10 I lost all my Bookmarks. I went back to using the older version and get the message that it is no longer supported or covered by virus protection. Why did I lose my Bookmarks?

    Why did I lose my Bookmarks?

    Clarification:
    I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
    If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

  • I just updated my os to lion and had to reinstall firefox . i accidentally lost all my bookmarks. I have a backup from before the update that was done through time machine but I can't find firefox in there. How can I retrieve them ?

    I also have the app for my iphone which is still synced with my account and has my bookmarks there but I don't know how to get them onto firefox. The account i used to sync my bookmarks on my iphone app was under the email address [email protected] as is this one. I tried logging in with the first account but no pw I tried worked. I tried to get a new pw from the site but I was never sent an email to reset it so I created a new account under the same email address.

    I got my contacts back by doing another restore!  Relief..
    But only a very few odd apps are showing up on the 3GS
    Any suggestions?

  • Flash quits working when I restart my computer and I have to uninstall and reinstall every time

    HELP! I've been working on this for 11 hours non-stop!
    I have Windows 7 64bit. I'm using the newest Firefox browser. I install Flash and it seems to sort of work. It is in my Control Panel Uninstall programs with the Flash icon.
    When I restart my computer and go to the Adobe site it shows that Flash isn't working. It's still in the Control Panel Uninstall programs BUT it has no icon. So I have to uninstall it and reinstall it to use it.
    When I go to any Zynga.com games and right click on the game window the Flash window opens but when I click on Settings it freezes and I have too right click and left click a lot for it to go away. So I can't allow the site to use 100% of Flash to run on the site. Once in a while if I wait a few minutes Settings will open and I set it to 100% but when I go back and look at it later it says I am using 0%.
    I have Norton 360 and have turned it off and uninstalled and reinstalled repeatedly only to have the same problem occur.
    Before I installed Windows 7 and had Vista Ultimate it worked better but still not as good as it should have.
    Also in my Firefox plugins Shockwave is there but no Flash plugin is ever there with Flash installed or uninstalled. Should Flash be there and where did Shockwave come from? Firefox?
    Do I need Shockwave for Zynga or Facebook games? Or at all for that matter. I'll install it for no good reason as long as it doesn't screw something up.
    After 11 hours of this Adobe HELL I am burnt! So ANY help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks to anyone who can help me. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hello, I just want to formate the computer and start fresh??

    Hello, I just want to formate the computer and start fresh??

    NavarroSergio,
    since you have a Late 2011 model, you can use OS X Internet Recovery to start fresh.
    First, you’ll need to completely erase your internal disk. Boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk (typically the first item in the list). On the right-hand side, click on the Erase tab. In the Format dropdown menu, select “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)”; in the Name textbox, enter a name for the reformatted volume (“Macintosh HD” is typical). Press the Erase… button, and erase your disk. When the erasure is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Shutdown from the Apple menu.
    The next time that you start up, OS X Internet Recovery will download your MacBook Pro’s original version of OS X (either 10.7.2 or 10.7.3) from Apple’s servers, and then install it. When it finishes, you’ll again see the welcome video just like when you first got it. Fill in your relevant information as you did the first time, and when you log in for the first time, run Software Update to get back to 10.7.5.

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee

  • Re formated my computer and lost my tunes and itunes cd

    Hi, my mum re formated her computer and lost my itunes. I know want to create a new iTunes but have lost the cd to set it up. I've created a new itunes through the website but cannot install smart sound and when i plug my ipod in it says I have to sync my ipod. i don't know what to do! Please help.
    Many thanks.

    I'm sorry, I'm not following your response. If you mother has iTunes on her computer and you want to add your music back, you can use the article links I provided above to transfer your music from your iPod back to your mother's computer.
    If you have Windows XP and internet explorer 7 you can get rid of the downloads you don't want to install by going to Start>Then right click on Internet at the top of your first column.
    When the menu opens, choose Properties. On the first tab, click on Delete under Browsing History. When the next box opens Click on Delete Files next to the Temporary Internet Files box. That should clean out your temporary folder where these downloaded files are being stored.
    Regarding your question about Windows Media--this forum is for iTunes users. If you have questions about Windows Media you'll have to go to the Microsoft forums.
    Smartsound isn't an Apple product either, so you'll have better luck getting advice in a more specific discussion forum.

  • How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

    How do I keep emails from being deleted on my iPhone 6? Emails get deleted from phone when I startup desktop computer and they are downloaded from sever. Is POP3 no longer supported on IOS 8.1?

    Have you seen this?
    Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
    A better solution is if your email provider uses IMAP. IMAP sync email folders between multiple devices. Meaning any device will receive the email, all sent email can be seen on the devices. If you delete email from one device the email is deleted from all the other devices. Check with your email provider to see if they offer IMAP services.
    If they do not your choices are to 1) configure email on the PC to keep Mail on the mail server or 2) change email providers to something like Gmail or Outlook.com (as examples). FWIW I use Cox IMAP email and fully sync email between a Win 8.1 Update 1 laptop, a Win 7 desktop, an iPad 4, an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5S.

  • My new macbook pro is giving me hardtime. even apple team is not being to solve it. they replace the motherboard first it didn't work. second time they formatted the computer and that also didn't work. every time my mac showing different problems.

    my new macbook pro is giving me hardtime. even apple team is not being to solve it. they replace the motherboard first it didn't work. second time they formatted the computer and that also didn't work. every time my mac showing different problems.
    At first my computer had issues. Once it go to sleep it will not back again. I dropped my laptop at apple store to fix it. After 10  days they returned my laptop saying they were no able to fix the problem so they replaced motherboard aiming if that might help. Acttually that didn't help.I had same issue again. I visited apple store again. This time they said they could fix, if I will allow them to format the harddrive. I said ok. They formatted it. It was working fine for few daysAfter few days compter is taking.even more than 15 min to shutdown. Now computer has another problem. It is being hang frequently like every 20'to.30 min.
    I don't know what to do? I still have one month left on first year warranty. I have requested couple times to apple associates either to fix or replace or refund. They are showing me rude behavior. They are not understanding my situation. I am a student. I need to do lot of home work. Since last three month my mac book and apple associates giving me hard time. Any suggestions are welcome.

    Contact Apple Customer Care - not Apple Care - Customer Support. Have your receipts handy and/or case numbers. Be patient, be calm, and tell your story just as you have here. I get the sense you are not in the US and don't have access to an Apple Store but are going to an independent shop. This makes using Customer Support all the more important. If phoning isn't viable, use registered mail.
    Since time is running short, be prepared to purchase AppleCare to exennd your warranty 2 more years. Yes, you shouldn't have to do this, but it gives you added protection and more opportunities over the next 2 years to claim a replacement computer if you don't get one immediately. After dealing with a similar unhappy situation with a Mac in the late 1990s I finally got a replacement computer and reimbursed for the AppleCare policy.

  • I have now transfered my files of ripped CD's to my iTunes library three times. On each occassion, the conversion seems to occur fine, the files play, but when I close my computer and return the next day, iTunes says it cannot locate any of those files.

    I have now transfered my files of ripped CD's to my iTunes library three times Since upgrading to iTunes 11 and Windows 8. On each occassion, the conversion seems to occur fine, the files play, but when I close my computer and return the next day, iTunes says it cannot locate any of those files. Three times. Beginning to lose my temper. Advice? Suggestions? Could the fact that my original library is located on a network drive have anything to do with it? Thanks for your help, all.

    Repair security permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7/8 shouldn't be too different.
    Repeat for the media folder if it isn't a subfolder of the iTunes folder.

  • When I plugged my iphone into the computer for the first time I lost all of my music and my ringtones. Is there a way to get them back without buying them back?

    When I plugged my iphone into the computer for the first time i lost all my music and ringtones. Is there a way to get them back without buying them again, or will I have to buy them again.

    Download the free app My Contacts Backup and use it to back up the contacts on your device now (it will back them up as an attachment to an email that you send to yourself).  Then restore your device to your most recent backup to see if it will recover your contacts.  If not, if necessary you can open the email and tap the attachment to re-import the contacts you have now back to your device.
    If you need to restore to an iCloud backup this has to be done in the initial setup process, which requires you to first erase your device.  If you have any more recent data on your device now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens on your device, and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • HT1310 I press option when starting up my computer and it just hangs or at least never gives me the list of startup disks before it's booted up.

    I press option when starting up my computer and it just hangs or at least never gives me the list of startup disks before it's booted up. I can choose which startup up disk when I'm already booted up from settings --> Startup Disk but how do I know if my Macintosh HD internal drive disk fails I'll be able to boot from my supposedly bootable backup drive?
    What am I missing? I have the latest Mountain Lion, could this be bug in that new Op System?
    Does the startup drive list (before bootup) only show up if the Macintosh HD is not bootable (crashed or broken)?

    Replugging my keyboard into my front USB2 slot was half the solution. I had my keyboard plugged into a KVM switch which goes into the back. The other half was that I needed to unplug my backup firewire hard drive from the front port to a chained drive with the source hooked into the back of the Mac Pro. Not sure if it was the cable or the firewire slot that gummed up the hardware startup hard drive selection diaglog.
    I also tried resetting the NVRAM and only got one Mac startup sound. That didn't seem to do it but then again it could of been a necessary condition as well.
    Thanks everyone for your help.
