After firefox updated to version 6.02, all bookmarks, history and settings were missing. It looks like my old profile was overwritten with a new blank one.

running windows 7 on a Dell desktop. Firefox updated yeaterday to version 6.02. When I next opened it, I could not find anything nor would the software let me restore bookmarks from the backup.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Thanks for the quick advice!
Unfortunately, I am still unable to open my core productivity apps, namely Skype and Evernote. Twitter, as well, could not start. But interesting quick fix though, I never knew you could do that.
Here's the error log after the restart:
What else should I try?

After I updated my phone I lost all my pictures and the new apps I downloaded. I would really love my pictures back does anyone know how? It said that the backup failed during the process. Is it all lost?

I went to update my phone and after the update I recieved a message that it failed and that the back up failed. I had to restore my phone to stock. I just want to know if there was a possibility to get my pictures back. I tried to get my phone to restore from my last back up but it wouldn't do that either. Does anyone have any ideas. I am really only worried about my pictures and videos I had a couple hundred and they were important.

Thank you. I have been reading about a lot of these occurances and many people have been able to get their pictures back through iexplorer however I am unable to. The error number I got was 50 or something like that. I have a feeling I will not be able to get the pictures back because it said the backup failed after the update failed.

Why is it that I downloaded Firefox 4.0 but I do not have the orange firefox box in the upper left hand corner of screen. My screen still looks like the old verison of firefox. My screen does not look like the one in the video. looks nothing like the one

My Firefox 4.0 does not look anything like the videos you show about the features of the new Firefox. My screen looks totally different than yours. It does not have the orange box in the upper left hand corner of the screen. My screen still looks like the old version. I have the logo on the top of my screen with Ask a Question a vertical line Firefox Help - Mozilla Firefox.
Under this line I have File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. Below this line is a tab with Ask a Question Firefox Help and a +. My husbands screen looks identical to the orange Firefox Box in the upper left of screen. I would like my screen to look identical to the ones shown in your videos. I only have one version of Firefox 4.0 my husband does have the Firefox 4.0 plus the Beta version. How do I add the Beta version? I have Windows Vista running systems. Please help. Thank you

You're welcome

The attachment popup is not showing for webmail like Yahoo or Google after Firefox update to version 30

I am running Firefox on Windows XP. After Firefox was updated to version 30.0, the attachment popup in Gmail and Yahoo mail are not showing up. Clicking on the attach icon does not show any response. Its working fine perfectly in Chrome. I removed extensions and tried again, but the issue persists.

Start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Safe Mode to Troubleshoot the issue] and to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Md5 reborned hasher 0.9.0 no longer works after firefox update to version 20 ,redesigned download box doesn't give option

md5 reborned hasher which has worked previously no longer works after update to FF version 20 . the redesigned download box doesn't give the option to use the hasher.

If you use this add-on a lot, you might want to switch back to the old style download manager until the add-on's author can bring it up to date. This thread describes how to make the switch: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/955204 Got new version, want to go back to previous download box, the new one has no history and doesn't show speed of download, how do I go back?]

How can I update to Firefox 27.0.1 without losing all my history and bookmarks?

I can't find a way to update Firefox. I tried following what they say and clicking "About Firefox" but it does absolutely NOTHING to help... It tells me to recheck for updates online and ends up sending me to the very same screen that said to click "About Firefox" in the first place! I also tried clicking on the update window that pops up, but whenever I click on it it will get stuck and only say, "connecting to server." I hear you can reinstall Firefox but I CANNOT lose all of my history and bookmarks. Is there anything on earth I can do?

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 27.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

New install all Bookmarks, History and passwords have vanished

OK not happy....
1. Firstly I never gave firefox permission to install the new 29.01 firefox, I just booted up my macbook pro and bingo firefox was installed!!!
2. now I no longer have any passwords, bookmarks or any History, If I knew firefox was going to just install it self i would of back up all bookmarks and passwords.
So now I no longer have anything i have looked around this forum all all it explains is how to recover them from a saved file ( which i have done before ).
So now I might as well go and find another browser as there is nothing i can do... and i dont need a browser in my life that just dumps everything!!!

ok lets try again, but thanks for the quick reply and helpful link although I can't see this is helpful in my case.
Ok is it possible that firefox might have saved the files/config from the previous version of firefox so I could retrieve the date and install/add to this new updated version of firefox.
I DO NOT have an up to date bookmark and password backup its a few months old (ah yes I know I should of backed up but I didn't *yawn*)

Lost all bookmarks, history, and ability to make new bookmarks and record new history

that basically says it.
also lost function of back and forward function and indication of website address . All of this is really pissing me off!

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Lost all bookmars, history and settings after updateing to 3.6

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [/questions/780038]</blockquote><br>
how do I recover my bookmarks and setting after they were lost after updating to 3.6

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
You can delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.
You may also need to "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

Firefox deletes everything (bookmarks, history and settings) everytime I restart Firefox

Ever since the newest update (3.6.6) every time I restart Firefox it reverts back to as if it was first installed. It deletes my bookmarks, settings and history. I have deleted profiles and created new ones which didn't help. I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice. I think there is a bug in the newest update, because I've never had any issues with previous versions of Firefox. Is anyone else experiencing the same or similar problem?

Do you have security software or cleanup software that might remove or protect files in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] ?

IPhone remote app no longer working after iPhone update to version 4.2.1

I have 4 apple TV generation 3 devices. I have had these (and some older Apple TV 2 devices) for a number of years.
I have home sharing enabled on all the TV devices and use the iPhone remote app or the iPad remote app to control them.
After the update to version 4.2.1 my iPhone (and my wifes) can no longer see any of the apple TV devices and I get the message
"Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account $my account"
Home sharing is turned on on the iPhone devices (I have disabled it and re-enabled it and re-signed in to prove this as well as re-downloading the remote app direct from the app store)
Home sharing is enabled on all the Apple TV devices
I know this is working as the iPads can still see the Apple TV devices, but the iPhone 5s's both myself and my wife have cannot see them.
This has worked fine for years but after the 4.2.1 update the iPhone is unable to interact at all as if home sharing is not enabled.
I've one through the trouble shooting guides on the support pages but they don't do anything, and I didn't expect them to as I know home sharing is setup just fine as a.) it was working b.) the iPads are still working with the apple TV's
Suggestions ?

Update:
Issue is still occuring, after resetting wireless router.
Router: Netgear WNDR3400, SSID's turned off, WMM is enabled.

I recently updated my iPhone to 5.0.1. My update went great, but when updating my wifes, all her photos and videos were lost. Is there a way to retrieve them?

I recently updated my iPhone. My update went great, but after updating my wifes, all her pictures and videos were missing. Is there a way to retrieve them?

Was a backup done prior to the update? If so, restore the backup.
As designed, the Camera Roll on the iPhone is temporary storage. Copy the pictures/videos off to the computer the device normally syncs with then sync the desired pics/vids back to the device via iTunes.
