Accidently deleted the default profile-wher to find old bookmarks to restore?

I accidentally deleted the default profile while try to delete a username for a website, which was memorized by Firefox. On a Mac OSX, where do I find the bookmarks file that was in use before deleting the default profile. I have to restore the bookmarks or at the minimum, gat a list of those with their url so that I can make new.

You are on Mac OS X 10.4, so you do not have the Time Machine that more recent versions have. If you did remove the entire [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and do not have a backup of that folder then all your personal data including the bookmarks is gone.

  • Deleting the default profiles

    Hi all,
    I have a question about Planning profiles.
    When I open the Planning profiles through Trcd:BPS0, I see some profiles like 4TPM0007 and 4TPM0005 that are already made by the system.
    Because these standard ready profiles are too many, I would like to delete the one which I'm not using right now.But for later, I can't deny the possibility of needing these standard Planning profiles.
    After deleting these standard profiles, is there any easy way to regenerate these?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Hiroshi Iwanaga

  • Firefox 3.6.10 crashes when I open it, even after uninstalling, deleting the default profile and all user appdata folders.

    I really have no idea why this is happening. I have a feeling it may be some sort of virus or malware but i've done scans and nothing has come up. Internet Explorer is working fine. I'm on Windows 7.

    This can happen if adware  Genieo is installed without your knowledge. Removing it will help,
    1. Download and use free AdwareMedic to remove the adware
        http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php
        Install , open,  and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button   to remove adware.
        Once done, quit AdwareMedic.
                   or
        Remove the adware  manually  by following the “HowTo” from Apple.
        http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203987
    2. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
         Turn those off and relaunch Safari to test .
         Turn those on one by one and test.
    Note:
      If you don’t have another browser installed,
    startup into SafeMode, log into your account
    and download  AdwareMedic or the removal instructions from Apple.
    Follow these steps to start up into Safe Mode.
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup, but not before the startup sound.
    Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.
    After the Apple logo appears, it may take longer than usual to reach the login screen. This is because your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
    To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

  • Where is the default profile in Firefox copied from under Linux?

    I'm trying to change a default setting in Firefox 3.6.6 under OpenSUSE 11.3. I need to disable network.dns.disableIPv6 globally for all users in their default profile. I cannot figure out where the file is that the default profiles are created from. Can anyone point me to this?

    If you use a Firefox version from the OpenSUSE repositories then you probably find that template folder in the corresponding /usr/lib/xulrunner-xxx folder.
    * /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.6/defaults/profile
    If you've installed Firefox yourself then look for the Firefox installation folder.
    Be aware that Firefox 3.6.6 is really old and outdated and you should at least update to the latest 3.6.27 version to get all security patches

    The EventSystem sub system is suppressing duplicate event log entries for a duration of 86400 seconds. The suppression timeout can be controlled by a REG_DWORD value named SuppressDuplicateDuration under the following registry key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\EventSystem\EventLog.

    hi do the following
    1. In Search programs and files (Windows 7) area, type in regedit, and press Enter.
    2. If prompted click yes,
    3.  expand the following HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
    4. click the sid that related to your admin profile (if you not sure, click each sid and in turn look to the right hand side of registry editor it will show who that sid is related to one of the registry files should hae in description localhost\admin or
    something similair)
    5. right click the sid and press delete.
    6. restart your machine and log back on with the admin account, this will then rebuild the admin profile... dont worry when it loads and none of your personal settings are saved or files or folders... go to c:\users
    in here you will see two folders for the admin account, one will be just admin and the other most likely admin.localhost
    i cant remember which one is which but just check both, one will still have all your files and folders in it.
    i suggest making a backup of your data before doing this incase something does go wrong, but ive had this happen many times in a domain enviorment and has worked for me everytime.

  • How does the Default profile works?

    we are using MSCS cluster.
    On last week, I found SAPGLOBALHOST and SAPDBHOST are pointed to wrong server in default.pfl in
    <CLUSTER>\SAPMNT\PRD\SYS\profile. I changed both parameter to currently server name and restart service. Therefore, we lost zcsa/installed_languages parameter in PRD_DVEBMGS01_<CI_SERVER> file. I have to add this parameter again in RZ10.
    My question is:
    Why SAP can start up correctly when the SAPGLOBALHOST and SAPDBHOST were wrong ? I don't think anybody changed this parameter without notice.
    Where is the old zcsa/installed_languages parameter stored? I searched all servers, I couldn't find this parameter.
    Thank you

    Check SAPGLOBALHOST and SAPDBHOST parameters in Instance profile. If the values in the instance profile is correct it will override the default profile values. Also check the environmental variables like DB_HOST etc.
    When you change the value of zcsa/installed_languages didn't save it as a new version?If you save as a new version then go to profile directory and check DEFAULT.PFL.<n>

  • How to alter the default profile for multiple users

    I am trying to alter the default profile assigned to users during user creation to a new profile. I know to change the profile for one user using the syntax
    alter user abc profile profileabc
    The issue I have is that there are 100's of users under default profile and changing for each of them manually would be difficult. The approach that I see is to write a shell script where I connect to the db and get a list of all the users with default profile. Then I loop through the file making connection to the db each time and executing the alter statement.
    Please help if you think that there can be a more efficient approach to this.
    Thanks

  • How can I permanently delete the default bookmark toolbar items (getting started, most recent, etc.)?

    I can't seem to permanently delete the default bookmark toolbar items. They show up frequently on start-up, even after manually deleting them in a previous session. I use 3.6 x_32 on Linux (for Flash) and 4.0 RC 1 x_64 (for non-flash) sharing the same profile.
    I use the X-marks extension and I thought that was the cause the problem, but the problem keeps happening even after deleting all of the the default items in each version and then overwriting my x-marks server data with a forced upload both times.
    I'm guessing that x-marks will be most people's prime suspect. I just want to make sure that firefox isn't recreating the items as a default behavior.
    I know it's a minor annoyance, but I keep my bookmarks toolbar pretty full. Thanks.

    Does it still happen if you temporarily disable Xmarks?
    Doesn't it work if you hide the Bookmarks Toolbar?

  • I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Help please

    I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?

    In Lion the Finder folder is now invisible.  To make it permanetely visible enter the following in the Terminal applicaiton window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files  Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an applicaiton.
    Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate

    Welcome to Apple Discussions:
    Exactly how did you delete it?
    Not knowing what computer or OS you are using, it's not possible to provide any help. We need more info and a filled-in profile.
    You can always restore the system from your backup.

  • To delete the default flag set in ship to address screen in shopping car.

    Hi All,
            I have a requirement to delete the default flag that will be set in ship to address screen in shopping cart in SRM system.
    I am able to view the list of ship to address throuh Edit internal address ( transaction BBPADDRINTC) and I am able to change the default. The requirement is, the requester should not set default at all so it should be cleared even if he sets.
    I tried with Badi - BUPA_ADDR_UPDATE. But couldn't find it useful.
    Please guide me on this.
    Thanks,
    Ramya

    Hi
    You must have maintained address number of ship to attribute in the organisation structure .
    so there you take up action.
    ADDR_SHIPT = 1233
    so CHECK THIS ADDRESS NUMBER 1234

  • Accidently deleted the Adobe PDF printer from the Printer List

    Hi Guys,
    I have accidently deleted the 'Adobe PDF printer' from the Printer List and am now unable to print any files to PDF from any application.
    Any ideas of how to get it back?
    Cheers, Nosaj68.
    Power Mac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hi Nosaj68
    Welcome to Discussions.
    1. In Applications/Utilities/Printer Setup Utility, select Add printer and reinstall it.
    2. If you can't find this file, reinstall Adobe Acrobat and that should put it back again for you.

  • Enabling Password controls in the Default Profile

    After sharing with customer metalink note 114930.1, customer has the following questions:
    1. Will Oracle suggest enabling password controls in the profile "Default" that is created during the installation without those controls enabled?
    2. Oracle accounts (SYS, SYSTEM etc.) are created with the default profile associated with them (at that time there are no manually created profiles). Does Oracle permit assigning other profiles (created after installation) to those most critical accounts
    Any help/direction is much appreciated

    Hi,
    1/ I don't know if Oracle would suggest that, but I would either enable password control if you have such a requirement, wherever you set it up, or don't touch anything if it's just to leave it disabled... I usually create specific profiles for the users and set up the limits according to the kind/type of users they are.
    2/ Don't you have no test instance?
    TEST> create profile p limit failed_login_attempts 5;
    Profil cr&#65533;
    TEST> alter user sys profile p;
    Utilisateur modifi
    TEST> alter user system profile p;
    Utilisateur modifi
    TEST> select username, profile from dba_users where username in ('SYS','SYSTEM');

  • I accidently deleted the settings icon on my mac

    i think i accidently deleted the settings icon on my mac is there anyway of getting it back without going to an apple store?
    many thanks

    Now to worry the icons in the Dock are only aliases.
    So if you go into Applications and find System Preferences and drag that back to the Dock that will create another one for you.
