All of my tabs and history are missing after my computer updated and restarted. I had over 140 tabs open! HELP!!!!

Last night my computer (Win 7 Dell laptop - Firefox) did an update. It restarted and when I turned it back on, the computer gave me a message that said "preparing your desktop" before I could log in. When I logged in, it was almost as if the computer was brand new - the desktop theme was new, it said my mouse was ready to use, and then it said that internet explorer 10 was updated. I clicked on Firefox as usual, expecting it to give me the screen where it asks me if I want it to restore all of my tabs, and it was the Mozilla home page and firefox was barebones in the sense that it didn't have any of my add-ons, or even the basic, file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools, help buttons on the screen. When I went into the history, it only had today listed, and no websites!!! I am freaking out and I really need to know how to get everything back to the way it was. I had a Personas add-on with 36 backgrounds that I adored, and I don't want to have to go back and re-download all of my add-ons, not to mention there is no way, I would be able to remember or pick up where I left off with all of those tabs I need for work. Please help me!

That is a Windows temporary profile, not the fault of Firefox, but something (possibly a windows update, they rolled a bunch out today) corrupted your Windows profile. http://www.sysprobs.com/fix-temporary-profile-windows-7 can help you, this will also bring back your Firefox data.

  • I opened firefox only to have it download a new version w/o my permission. Now all my bookmarks and history are missing. How do I get them back. Also, I'm having problems getting my emails to load. How do I get my bookmarks back and my emails to load?

    So far your suggestion is to install an additional 16 plug-ins just to fix a problem that did not exist before this was downloaded on my computer? No. Try again.

    Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
    Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. <br />
    The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

  • When Firefox 3.5.16 is opened in OS 10.6 on Mac, the bookmarks and history are missing as well as back/forward arrows not working.

    I have a laptop running Firefox 3.5.16 and Mac OS 10.6.5. I used my computer last night without any problem. This afternoon, I had a USB modem plugged in when I started my machine and at first Firefox said it couldn't connect. After removing the USB modem, I restarted without it in the machine, then connected to the Internet and started Firefox. I had a Firefox error message about bookmarks not working due to another application using them. I checked the troubleshooting pages, but for the most part they applied to a Windows machine.

    I finally found a solution. In about:config, under browser.sessionhistory.max_entries, I changed 5 to 20. End of problem.

  • Oracle BAM Reports and Dataobjects are missing after the ADC service is up.

    All my reports and the Data objects were missing . I couldn't find anything in the Architect and the Viewer. All the users that were created were found missing in the 'login management' of the BAM administrator. I check out my BAM Schema,as you all know the default schema "Orabam". I could find all my dataobjects in the tables section.

  • My former Firefox Profile and bookmarks are missing after a Firefox 29 update - how to get them back?

    I've tried all the Mozilla support articles without success.
    Where are my bookmarks/passwords/etc. saved in my Mac desktop computer?
    Help!!!

    It is possible that there is or has been a problem with the profiles.ini file that registers all profile and that a new default profile got created.

  • User and Computer memberships are missing after moving computer and user objects using ADMT

    Hi to everybody.
    Source domain Windows 2003. Destination domain Windows 2008. I use ADMT 3.2
    I have noticed 2 issues:
    1. After migrating users, membership to all Bultin domain groups, is lost. Migration of custom groups is completed without any problems prior to start migrating users.
    a. Example 1: user in source domain belongs to Domain Admins, Domain Users and a custom Domain group with the name Test. After moving the user, the membership is as follow: Domain Users and Test! And the worst of all
    is that I believe that Domain users membership was not produced by the migration but from the AD mechanism that automatically gives every new user the Domain Users membership. Look at example 2.
    b. Example 2:user in source domain belongs only to the Domain group with the name Test. After moving the user, the membership is as follow: Domain Users and Test! 
    2. After migrating a computer account from source domain to destination domain I have noticed in the "Local Users and Groups" that the Domain Admins  membership in the Administrators group is missing. 
    Any ideas? I think I am missing something fundamental here. 
    Thank you all in advance. 

    additionally, from the migration log I see the following
    WRN1:7372 ADMT does not process BUILTIN accounts or change the membership of BUILTIN groups (Administrators,
    etc.).
    there is 1 line of the above WRN for each builtin group that the user belongs in the source domain. This
    means that there I have to do this membership update manually? And what if I have 1500 users and 300 groups?

  • All my imovie events are missing after latest maverick and imovie 10 update

    Hi,
    I updated to Mavericks, and updated iMovie. I opened up iMovie and it says that all the original files are missing. It suggests to try and re-import the files, but I cannot find them anywhere on my computer. I am missing hours of footage, and I have no idea where it has gone.  It appears that the old iMovie is there, and I can click it open, but all the files are missing from there too.  Anybody have any ideas as to what happened, or what can I do to get my movie clips back?

    Same issue here.
    Deleted the UpdatedToiMovie10 file (0 bytes) and relaunched iMovie. Starts off OK, then
    Then although I can see the names of all the project files in the sidebar and they are still in the iMovies9 folder, and iMovies9 still works as normal, iMovies10 just displays
    But that doesn't work either.
    Tried running the permissions repair and there were hundreds flagged as incorrect, but that didn't cure it either.
    Any ideas?

  • Just bought a nano and want to download some of my iTunes library. The "Music" button shows almost all my selections but some albums are missing, yet thos albums appear on the nano icon on my desktop but none of the others. What's happening?

    Just bought a nano and want to download some of my iTunes library. The "Music" button shows almost all my selections but some albums are missing, yet ONLY those albums appear on the nano icon on my desktop after being dragged there but none of the others. What's happening?
    I've read some of the post here that I thought might help but they refer to titles (Music) and triangles in the "Devices" window which are nowhere to be seen when I open the "Devices" window.
    I have iTunes 11.0.3 and Mac OS 10.6.8. Does this make a difference?

    I should mention that, for the first problem, I do make sure that my new tracks are stored in the folder where I told iTunes that my music is in. Also, when I say the cataloging of my library stops short of cataloging all my songs, I have tried leaving the computer unattended for days (my computer's sleep mode is disabled). It always stops before cataloging all of my music regardless of whether I am doing something else while iTunes is cataloging, or if I just let iTunes be the only program that's open during the cataloging process.

    What do I need to do differently?

    The late, great Pondini was investigating that issue before he passed away.

    I think there might be information there on how to reset Time Machine to do a full backup. I think you basically have to reset it and start over.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup.

  • I just updated and synced my phone and now all of my music and apps are missing from my phone and my computer! *** do I do?, I just updated and synced my phone and now all of my music and apps are missing from my phone and my computer! *** do I do?

    now all of my music and apps are missing from my phone and my computer! *** do I do?, I just updated and synced my phone and now all of my music and apps are missing from my phone and my computer! *** do I do?

    i had the same fright
    The update takes a LONG time... but with the new system, you can keep using your phone during the update, so it doesnt FEEL like it is updating...
    you have probably interrupted the update, just like I did
    plug your phone in... "continue the update" or hit the sync button to psh it in... and leave it there
    unless you have enabled sync over wifi (which still only works when you are plugged in)
    just be patient... and there shouldbe a flashing "synching" symbol at the top of your phone screen

  • Help- After upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.4 all of my default user pictures are missing

    Hello,
    After ugrading to Mountain LIon 10.8.4 on my 2010 1.4 GHz Macbook air and now all of my default user pictures are missing.
    I found a similar situation on the net in which the guy says to do this: "logged in as root and trashed the old user icon images file the copied the folder froma ML factory disk image".  I have no idea what any of that means or if is for real as an answer or just a way to screw up my computer even more. I need help, and really basic simple instructions like your talking to some one who barely know how to turn on a computer.  I would be really grateful to anyone who will help me. Thank you for your time.

    I found a simple solution that worked on my Macbook Air running 10.8.4 which was missing all the User pictures when I tried to access them as the computer administrator even through they wer all there in the User Pictures folder in the Library.
    I went into the Library Folder and trashed the "User Pictures" Folder.
    I then copied the User Pictures folder from my Macbook Pro (also running 10.8.4) that did not have this issue and installed in on the Macbook Air in place of the User Pictures folder I had trashed.    Then it all worked fine.
