After system restore i reinstalled firefox, how to get back bookmarks etc with old firefox data?

After system restore the only thing i have is old firefox data on desktop if all bookmarks, passwords are recovered it will be great help.
P.S
i reinstall firefox from drive other than c ,that was in downloaded form.
Thanks

The "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop has been created as the consequence of resetting Firefox.
Doing a Session Restore may have reverted the profiles.ini file to a previous version that hasn't registered the new profile folder that a reset had created, so you may need to check for this.
* C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and Windows 7 and later versions are hidden folders.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
If you have a profile folder that is more recent than the "Old Firefox Data" on the desktop then you can use edit the profiles.ini file and change the path of the currently default profile to the name of the profile folder as you find in Document and Settings.

It is always best to be cautious with using System Restore as this can cause some file to be replaced with older copies, i.e. your Firefox installation and profile folder can get inconsistent and you may have to reinstall Firefox as well.

    How to get back "Bookmark All Tabs" in menu ? Please if you don't want it (still quite some ppl want because it's usefull), at least allow to get it back trough Preferences (or at least about:config)

    Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
    You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or other menus like the Edit menu (Alt+E) and Bookmarks menu (Alt+B) and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
    * "Bookmark All Tabs" (Shift+Ctrl+D) no longer shows in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
    * "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.

  • Can't activate after system restore and reinstall

    I recently installed adobe acrobat pro on my laptop, everything was working perfectly until I faced another unrelated issue that meant I needed to perform a system restore to a point before I had installed adobe acrobat.
    After the system restore obviously my registry had been rolled back quite a bit and so I needed to reinstall acrobat. After reinstallation (downloaded the installer from the acrobat site on my acrobat.com account and let it install the same as last time) when I launch acrobat I get an error that my acrobat subscription cannot be validated.
    This is the only PC I have installed acrobat on so it doesn't seem to make sense, even if it considered this to be a new installation then it should at least activate as my second installation.
    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    I am not familiar with the limitations on the subscription set, but you may have to contact Adobe and explain the issue. It may be they have to reset your activation or whatever is done with the subscription. Typically when you start, you would be asked to provide your ID that you used to purchase Acrobat.

  • How to get back bookmarks missing in ipad 3

    How to get back disappeared bookmarks in ipad 3 air

    View ("Alt+V") > Toolbars > (check) Bookmarks
    also make sure you are not in full screen mode, toggled on/off with "F11".
    If none of those were the problem check to see if you have bookmarks than can be restored from the bookmarks library ("Ctrl+Shift+B") > Import and Backup > Restore > (you should have a choice of at least 5 backups). Not having that choice of five would probably mean that you created a new profile when you updated your Firefox.

  • I hate version 4, tell me how to get back to previous version of Firefox or I'm going to IE !!!

    Version 4 is awful, I hate it and will NOT use it.

    Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
    If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • How to get back bookmarks in a folder (on toolbar) which have been lost after starting Firefox?

    This evening I started Firefox as usual and notice that the folder which I kept ~40 odd bookmarks had disappeared. I thought this was strange as it has always been there since I downloaded Firefox on to my computer last year; plus it was there when I started up Firefox earlier in the day.
    This folder was on the bookmark toolbar. On my bookmark toolbar I also had other bookmarks which were not in the folder and they are still there when I went on Firefox. I tried to restore to an earlier time when I did have this folder but each time the folder does not re-appear but the bookmarks not in the folder are still there. I also did this in safe mode and got the same result. I did not try any backups as I didn't keep any (this will teach me to do so!).
    I don't know if anyone can help me and I know there might be little chance for them to be restored but if you can I'll be grateful. Thanks.

    View ("Alt+V") > Toolbars > (check) Bookmarks

  • Satellite U400 - How to get back formatted partition with HDD Recovery

    Hello,
    I have bought a new Satellite U400 notebook with Vista Home preinstaled on it.
    I went throught initial configuration and after it has been done I realised that HDD partitions do not suits my needs.
    So I resised the "Vista" partition (acctually I have shrinked it) and made the "Data" partition bigger.
    I did not do anything with hidden partition.
    Unfortunately when I did this procedure I formated the "Data" partition.
    Now when I want to make backup DVD with TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator I got the error message saying that it is not possible because I have formated the "Data" partition.
    Are there any suggestion how to solve this error?
    The system goes fine, the only thing is that I am not able to backup and restore OS.
    Thanks Vecerka

    Another possibility besides getting yourself a new copy of recovery DVD is, that you could use 3rd party programs to make an image or backup of your actual system.
    I think Norton Ghost or Acronis TrueImage are good programs, but I only used last named one, so can't tell if Norton tool is equal to Acronis.
    And if you do not want to order recovery disc online, you always can visit your local ASP for doing this job for you. ;)

  • How to recover hp pre-installed games and office after system restore for HP Mini 210-4127se?

    how to recover hp pre-installed games and office after system restore for HP Mini 210-4127se?

    Hi,
    You can reinstall them from Recovery Manager by clicking on Start=> All Programs.
    If you have performed a complete HP Recovery using F11 then all the software should be there. If you have performed a minimized recovery then you can install applications from recovery manager...If none of these works then you'll need USB recovery..
    Here are the links that will guide you through the process:
    Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7)
    Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
    Order USB Recovery
    Note:
    If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem
    Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

  • Itunes wont work after system restore

    Itunes will no longer startup or uninstall/reinstall after i recently did a system restore on my laptop i can get it running by opening a song, and it works fine then, but its an old version cos i cant update! looked everywhere for a solution and cant find one anywhere!
    Thanks

    (c) the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
    Click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'itunes.msi' in the box below
    Use source
    C:\DOCUME1\Alex\locals1\Temp\IXP267.TMP\
    Okay, given that the QuickTime seems to be working fine, that iTunes message is probably the key to this.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. Run the utility, find the iTunes entry in the list of programs that show up in CleanUp, and remove the iTunes entry.

    Reboot the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? If so, does iTunes launch properly again?

  • I would like to know which app/software in MAC gives us the same feature that is provided by System Restore in Windows, and how does that work

    I would like to know which app/software in MAC gives us the same feature that is provided by System Restore in Windows, and how does that work.

    Time Machine is one such program, although it is a recursive backup program which offers limited archive capability, based on the capacity of the backup destination, and it requires you set it up before you start editing your files.   Some programs are also Versions aware, which offers a kind of restore capability by file.  Again needs to be setup before you start editing.
    Just a for-your-info:
    Mac is not an acronym, it is a nickname for Macintosh.

  • Missing Apps after System restore

    Yesterday I did a System Restore on my iPhone 3Gs and now all of my Apps are missing. After this I tried to do a Restore from backup again but I still have the same problem.
    I don't have Sync Apps ticked in iTunes as if I do it will sync all apps and there is a mix of iPad and iPhone apps there. For some Apps there are separate iPad and iPhone versions and I'm not sure if this will cause any problems.
    Is there a way to have the apps restored to the same folders they were in before? I know I can sync selected apps from iTunes but I spent a lot of time organising all of my apps into folders and I'm hoping to avoid having to do that again. When I tick "Sync Apps" but before actually going ahead iTunes shows 10 screens of Apps and none are in folders as they were before.
    I thought that doing a restore from a backup that I did just before the restore would have restored the phone exactly as I had it before.
    Thanks for any advice you can offer.

    No iTunes content including 3rd party apps are included with your iPhone's backup. If you don't have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes along with the apps selected below that you want available on your iPhone - which can be placed in folders with iTunes followed by a sync, iTunes does not know which apps you had installed on your iPhone. With Sync Apps selected along with the apps in your chosen folders, when restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, your iPhone will be restored in this regard. After restoring as a new iPhone or from the backup, this must be followed by a sync to re-transfer your selected iTunes content including 3rd party apps to your iPhone. What is selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences will be pre-selected prior to the initial sync with iTunes after the restore, and the apps will be transferred back to the same folders as before. Your mistake in this process was not having Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab. With this selected, after downloading an app direct with your iPhone the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so.
    If there is an iPad only app that you select to be transferred to your iPhone, a warning message will be provided with the following sync indicating the app cannot be installed on your iPhone. You can create your app folders with iTunes followed by a sync.
