A tech uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox today. All my history, bookmarks, etc. were lost. Can I get them back?

In trying to help with another problem, a tech using off-site uninstalled firefox and then reinstalled. Now I find history, bookmarks, passwords all lost. Gmail doesn't know I have an account. What can I do?

That was one of the first things I tried, but because I closed Firefox the links were inactive. It has done this a few times since I posted this earlier today so I am wondering if there is an option somewhere for saving these. Also, I never had this problem before so it might have something to do with a recent update (maybe a new option?).

  • I tried to erase some of the email addresses that i have emailed  in the past that i no longer use. I went to window and all my email to addresses were deleted-can i get them back?

    I tried to erase some of the email addresses that i no longer email to - i went to window to delete some and ALL of them were deleted . How do i get the addresses back?
    Thank you sooooo much!

    Go to Mail Preferences>Accounts, click the '+' button below the list of accounts and insert the settings, username and password as instructed. Some account types can be set up automatically as soon as Mail knows the emails address (because the server settings are built in), in other cases you will have to get them from your ISP.

    I did turn the contacts back on and it didnt work. I am hoping the wi-fi connection I am on at school is not compatible, and it will work when I get home. Thanks!

    Group messaging simply puts all replies in one conversation in Messages.   It doesn't prevent the behavior you experienced.
    My suggestion which would be much easier in my opinion, is rather than do a text, send out an email and use bcc: , which will keep the audience hidden from each recipient.
    Otherwise, if you're determinted to do only texts, the only way is to send your message to one person at a time.   You can of course copy/paste your msg each time which might be helpful.

  • My friend took my phone and tried to guess my password to unlock it, and he locked me out of my phone for a minute, but when it unlocked and i tried to use my phone all of my apps, photos, all my data had been deleted. how can i get them back?

    As Ocean20 say, your only shot at recovering the photos and data is to restore from a backup (with iTunes if you took the backup with iTunes, through iCloud if you took the backup through iCloud).
    The erasure is to prevent your data from falling into the hands of somebody who takes your phone and eventually guesses your password. If you feel that the inconvenience caused by this feature and your friend outweighs the trouble that somebody could cause if they got possession of your contacts and other data, you can change this behaviour.

  • I just upgraded to the iOS 5 and icloud, but now all my pictures are gone! How do I get them back?

    I have an iphone and just upgraded to the iOS 5 and icloud, but now all my pictures are gone! How do I get them back?? It's weird because it said with the upgrade your photos would be kept, but apps would be erased, yet my apps synced over and not my pictures...

    I have EXACTLY the same issue.  I would appreciate the response also.  Was not prepared for this.

    If you were not syncing and backing up your phone to either iTunes or iCloud, then they are gone. There is no "undo".

    You can get iTunes purchases back by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For other items you need to get them from whee yuo got them the first time.
    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced mediai like apps and music. If those ore not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update they are lost.

  • Firefox won't open pdf files; uninstalled and reinstalled Firefoxes, updated all extensions,etc. still getting error messages.

    When I attempt to load a .pdf file, a window pops up reading "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (4:4)"
    I have tried rebooting the computer, uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, making sure all plug-ins are updated (they are), disabling every other plug in to see if it was interfering (they weren't -- still got same message), and reinstalling adobe reader (and flash, just for good measure).

  • I couldn't update Firefox so I attempted to do an uninstall and reinstall Firefox 12.0 on Mac OS X 10.7.4 keep getting message A copy is already open.

    I attempted to uninstall and reinstall Firefox get message Firefox already open

    I could not open Firefox 13.0.1 when I updated to Mac OS X 10.7.4
    I receive the following prompt:
    '''A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at this time.'''
    I created a new OS user:
    System Preferences> Users & Groups> click on the "+" symbol, bottom left to create new user & save profile.
    Log out of current profile and log in to new OS user profile.
    Open Firefox in new user to see if the application opens.
    In my case the application opened. I then logged out of the new user profile and logged back into my old profile & followed the directions in the following weblink:
    The following link resolved the issue:
    '''http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Accessing_the_Profile_Manager'''
    Scroll down to: Accessing the Profile Manager > Mac OS X
    Close the application completely and make sure that it is not running in the background. Assuming the program is installed in the "Applications" folder, launch Terminal ("Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal") and enter the command starting with / after the prompt in Terminal:
    (Firefox) '''/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -profilemanager'''
    I then deleted the old profile and created a new profile.
    I was then able to open Firefox.

  • All my burnt songs ahve gone. how can i get them back?

    I burnt nearly 1000 songs to my iTunes account to make space in house, but since last week they are no longer in my library. how can I get them back as I no longer have the cd's.

    First it would be helpful to get more info. Do you keep your music in the default location inside the iTunes folder? Do you use iTunes to keep it organized? Do you have any type of backup of either the iTunes Library files or your entire Music folder? Before reinstalling anything, check that your actual music files are still there. Go to your_homefolder/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music and I am pretty sure that all your files are still there. iTunes keeps its library file on the root level of the iTunes folder. It is either corrupted or you somehow created a new one which subsequently is empty. Hold down the option while you click on iTunes, then choose "existing library" and browse to your iTunes folder and select the iTunes Library file and see what happens. Report back if your iTunes Library file is corrupt.

  • When editing my photos in albums (in 9.4.3)I enter descriptions and locations. I have had 2 iPhoto crashes and when reopened the descriptions are gone. Locations survived.  Can I get them back? Or do I have to do over?

    When editing my photos I add descriptions and locations. I have had 2 recent Iphoto crashes. When relaunched the descriptions are missing but locations survived.  Can I get them back somehow?  Have I missed a "save" step on each entry? Using Iphoto '11 version 9.4.3

    backup your iPhoto library, depress andhold the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and use the resulting first aid window to rebuild your iPhoto database
