All of my bookmarks are lost, I need them back

I tried to update Real Player. It worked but it put Google chrome as my search instead of Mozilla and the current Mozilla went into safe mode. I restored my computer it took out Google chrome and replaced Mozilla but there is still a tab in my start up that has Mozilla in safe mode. I clicked it the screen came up. I checked all the buttons but it won't come out of safe mode. I can still use Mozilla but all my bookmarks from months of research are gone. Is there anyway to get them back. I don't have them all writtten down and some took me to specific places. Please help!!!!!!!!

You may need to act quickly to rescue your bookmarks, but do not act in haste, remember you must make manual backups as you work, otherwise you are in danger of inadvertently overwriting useful sets of bookmarks.
Look at [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/775233 thread] ''Where is the folder containing all my bookmarks?''
# Look for the existing .JSON files and make copies of them.
# Ensure you make manual backups, of bookmarks as you work within firefox, on the task of restoring bookmarks.
# in future it may help if you continue to occasionally make manual backups, especially prior to upgrading or modify firefox .
Find and backup your bookmarks, getting firefox out of safemode will be a minor problem, whereas reading up about the bookmarks system and how it works will take you a while.

  • After updating to firefox 5 all my bookmarks are lost, and I can not find an old places.sqlite file. What happened to my bookmarks?

    I updated from Firefox 3 to Firefox 5 (Windows XP), and all my bookmarks are lost. Maybe I should have thought of making a backup but I did not think of this and previously after an update I could find them again. Now I can not find my bookmarks anywhere, all files in my profile have a date and time from the new installation. Is there any chance of finding my bookmarks somewhere else on my computer? If so, where are they and how can I restore them?

    Thanks for the answer. I read the article but it seems that the solution to my problem is not in there. Apart from the lost bookmarks Firefox is working fine, also I can make new bookmarks and delete them without problems. When I restart Firefox I don't loose them.
    Apparently after installing Firefox 5 everything of Firefox 3 was deleted including my profile. The only bookmark .json file I have is from the new installation, which means it does not contain any of my old bookmarks. It now has today's date and time.
    In my profile I have three 'places' files, now all with today's date and time:
    - places.sqlite (10240 kb)
    - places.sqlite-shm (32 kb)
    - places.sqlite-wal (865 kb)
    But even though places.sqlite is large, it apparently does not contain my old information. Or could it? Then how to get to it?

  • My bookmarks toolbar is not working, will not save bookmarks and all of my previous bookmarks are lost. The articles are not helping. Please help.

    I cannot find my bookmarks. I've tried troubleshooting with the information from several articles with no luck. I even tried to uninstall and reinstall Firefox. I can only add 2 bookmarks, then it won't let me add anymore. All of my bookmarks are gone, I don't mind re-adding them but now I can't even do that. Please help.

    Even though the Firefox application was not shown as running in the Applications Tab of Task Manager, it WAS shown as running in the Processes Tab. I ended the process, and the problem was solved.

  • Acrobat bookmarks are lost when resaving the file

    Hi,
    I am converting a docx to pdf using Save as --> PDF --> clicking on options and selecting create bookmarks using headings and publish.
    The conversion is done perfectly. However after encrypting, or changing a name of a bookmark and saving after that, the bookmark links are lost. When I right click on any bookmark and checking there link, there is nothing.
    I noticed that if I use Microsoft Word 2007 with SP2 this problem is resolved. However, I have various pdfs already converted (and don't have the original doc) which I need to encrypt. However this is not possible to do so as they lose their bookmarks.
    Is there a solution for this?

    I am seeing a similar bug in Acrobat, and I am seeing it in both Acrobat 7 and Acrobat 9.
    If I have an open PDF, and I choose File > Save As, then rename the PDF, all bookmarks are lost.
    Gone. Poof. Bye-bye.
    If I rename the file in Windows Explorer, the bookmarks are retained just fine.
    This happens without exception. Every PDF file.
    I simply cannot use the File > Save As command at all. Ever.
    First detected it in Acrobat 7, and I am still seeing this behavior in Acrobat 9.

  • All of my bookmarks are gone and I did not have a google email account

    I downloaded firefox 4 and now all of my bookmarks are gone. I never had a google email account, so I cant retrieve them that way. How can I get them back?

    Hopefully you didn't do a complete uninstall of the previous version...
    First, you may want to make a backup of your profile folder. It contains not only your current bookmark list, but a folder of backups. But these are not saved forever. To back up Firefox, see [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Lost%20Bookmarks#os=win&browser=fx4 Backing up your information].
    The following article has suggestions for recovering bookmarks: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Lost%20Bookmarks#os=win&browser=fx4 Lost Bookmarks | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help].
    Hope that helps.

  • All of my iphotos are lost.

    I updated to yosemite and I didn't back up my iphoto. Now all of my photos are lost. I really need them back. Please help

    I have this issue too, I selected the upgrade photos and now I have a 200GB library file but no way to access the photos, it appears to be something to do with the 10.10.2 upgrade and the use of an external Thunderbolt drive to store my photos on, but I am nearing desperation in trying to get back my years of photos (last effective backup - despite having time machine turned on) - appears to be 2012.
    This thread seems to have the most information
    Yosemite, iPhoto 9.6 upgrade, large photo library is not recognised.
    But it is outrageous that a 'minor' upgrade that was not meant to be about iPhoto could have such drastic outcomes.  It must be relating to the file service changes they were doing or the work they were preparing for the new photo app - either way, not happy!

    Is the menu bar missing (the one containing File, View, Edit etc)? If it is, the following link shows how to restore it - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Menu+bar+is+missing

  • Not all of my bookmarks are coming thru

    Not all of my bookmarks are coming into my iPhone from my PC via the Firefox server. Only one folder of my bookmarks is coming in. Never had this problem before. Other sync instructions in Preferences can be changed and are properly executed (tabs vs. no tabs, history vs. no history, etc.). Have read other "solutions" in this area of Help (have signed out and signed back in, very good WiFi and 3G connections, plenty of room on my iPhone, even got a new sync key). Still only get about 5% of my bookmarks which was not a problem before. Have v.3.6.14, under Windows 7.

    我的书签在电脑突然被断电之后全部丢失了，我该怎么办呢？？谢谢啦！！~~~~

    This can also be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Please clarify the purpose of sync. I thought of it as a backup tool and reinstalled windows and now years of bookmarks are lost. This hurts!

    I would like you to please verify the purpose of sync more clearly in the future. I had to reinstall windows and thought I could use sync to save my bookmarks. Now years of bookmarks are lost because the program was not specific in telling me about the recovery keys until it was too late. This put a huge dent in my productivity and really sets me back. I realize that nothing can be done at this point but please clarify this for others so that it doesn't happen again. This really sucks!

  • New Firefox Very Slow Bookmarks all gone restore not working Can I get them back?

    Woke up today to new firefox update installed. Now Firefox VERY slow & all of my Bookmarks are gone as well as Bookmarks Toolbar empty. IE runs fast like usual, but Firefox barely loading.
    Tried Restore from available dates, but all come back unable to process.

    Some of you will want to shoot me; Mozilla may yank this reply. BUT I had the same problem for about a week, struggled in vain, poured over the help section and got 3 replies to my posted question. Nothing, absolutely nothing worked.
    Want to know what solution I finally came up with? '''''CHROME.'''''
    It imported my precious bookmarks from IE and FF. I'm going to uninstall IE now and leave FF as an emergency backup browser which I don't expect to need anymore.

  • If I upgrade from Firefox 3.6 to firefox 4 Beta on my iMac, will I still have all the same bookmarks, or will I lose them?

    If I upgrade from Firefox 3.6 to firefox 4 Beta on my iMac, will I still have all the same bookmarks, or will I lose them?

    You are using Mac OS 10.4. Firefox 4.0 is not compatible with this OS. It supports only Mac OS 10.5 and above. Please see this article: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html Firefox 4 system requirements].

  • I upgraded to OSX and lost all my photos from Ilife acan I get them back

    I upgraded to OSX and lost all my photos from Iphoto, can I get them back.

    Are you sure, you are viewing the correct iPhoto library? iPhoto may have created a new Library.
    Hold down the alt/options  key ⌥, while you double click iPhoto to launch it.  Is there more than one Photo Library in the panel that opens? Then try the other libraries, if your photos are in there.
    Regards

  • I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appr

    I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

    OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
    After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
    Switching it on had no effect
    resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
    after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
    switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
    On IOS 7 no problems
    The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options
