Bookmarks and Stylesheets
Hi,
We upgraded our system recently from BW 3.1 to BI 7.0(Only Technical).
As of now still we are using old Bex Toolset( New Bex suite yet to upgrade).
So we have Portal in place where in users create their own bookmarks and favourites.So After upgrade so many of their bookmarks out put is not displaying properly i mean in terms of format.
I understood that in 2004s portal theme is overridden by the WebTemplate setting( in terms of stylesheet) So just i wonder whether after upgrade even though we are not using the new tool set this applicable.
Because favorites/bookmarks are not behaving properly as expected.
I appreciate really if you share with me the your experience in this area.
Also I will Definitely say thanks by giving valid Points..
Regards,
BRB
HI BB,
Thanks for that response but could you please share with me what sort parameters have been set up.
Fyi we have not yet started using new BI Toolset.
We have been having different issues like.
1)Some of the bookmarks are deleted and no more we can find in rszwbookmark Table even though it is claiming by the users that boommarks used to workfine sometime back.
2)And some of the bookmarks are getting Timed out even though same selction criteria works fine with reports link in POrtal
If any one has got similar issue and solution please share with me.
Regards,
BRB

I installed Firefox 4 on my 2010 13" MBP, standard configuration. It worked fine except that it didn't recognize any of the add-ons I was using and, to be frank, I don't like the interface as much as v.3. But ...
Then I backed up the entire HD, wiped the HD, removed it and replaced it with a Seagate hybrid HD. I then booted from the b/u and installed the entire HD contents on the new hybrid HD. Everything runs fine except for one thing -- Firefox 4 now will not recognize my bookmarks.
I tried reinstalling FF4 but this made no difference.
I did the b/u and restoration with Carbon Copy Cloner which I have used successfully for many b/u and restore operations on this and the white MB I previously owned.
Uh oh! I just tried to save a new bookmark (of this page) and it did not save -- or at least, it did not show in the "Show all Bookmarks" pane.
HOWEVER, when I start typing in a URL, it FF4 comes up with the completed URL in a flash. e.g. I typed "wiz" and FF4 showed me the completed URL (which should be in my Toolbar bookmarks and which I visit t least once daily).
Kind regards

On 10/16/14 I downloaded 11 critical Windows Updates (I have the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Pro).
All updates ran successfully, but after the updates, Firefox would not run. Instead I got the error “Couldn’t Load XPCOM”. Internet Explorer was working. I reinstalled Firefox . I did not delete it and then reinstall it, I just downloaded Firefox.
That worked and I can now use Firefox, but I have several other problems:
• I lost all my Bookmarks
• I lost some of my History. I can only view history for “Today” and “Yesterday” in the Library. I am missing “Last 7 days” (except for 10/16 and later) and “This Month” history view.
I have been trying to research how to fix this on my own for the past several days, even though I am very non-tech savy.
I tried the following, but none of these things has corrected the bookmarks or history problem:
• I did a System Restore to 10/13/14
• I tried to do a System Restore to 10/12/14. I got the error “Did not complete successfully. Unspecified error 0x8000ffff”.
• I reset Firefox to its default state.
• I tried to change the Privacy setting for Firefox history from “Remember History” to “Use custom setting for history” followed by checking “Remember my browsing and download history”, “Remember search and form history”, and “Accept cookies from site”. I am unable to change this. It always reverts back to “Remember History”.
I located only one Profile Manager, which I found by going through the Windows start menu with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" –p.
I found "bookmarkbackups" under my Profile Folder. The oldest bookmark folder listed is from 10/16/2014.
Could someone please help me get all my Bookmarks and History back from before the 10/16/2014 updates? Thank you.Hi askmozilla, yes, the Previous Versions tab in the Properties dialog for the places.sqlite files in the oldest of those folders.
I'm not sure whether Windows can match that file up with earlier restore points once the folder is moved from its original location to the desktop.
I wonder whether there is any way to access the restore point created on 10/16 just before Windows installed the updates. That really would be the best place to look if possible. -
When I upgraded to beta Version 4.12 (?) the latest available anyway. At first the bookmarks tab would not work; nothing happened when I clicked on it. So could not access bookmarks and could not create new ones.
This seemed to correct itself yesterday; but now have lost all my bookmarks in total. It gives me the option to recover them; but when I try Firefox locks up; mouse turns to circulating circle and message at top of browser is 'not responding'.
This also causes memory resources to 'red line' and makes computer unusable.
CPU resources seem not to be affected.
I am using the 'SAM Find' add on tool bar; it was swamped with links to bookmarks I have never used when I upgraded. They have now been deleted and my tool bar seems to work as it was before I upgraded
I have two computers - Laptop (the focus of this Question) and a Desktop; both configured the same way. I upgraded the desktop to the beta when it was first available; it provides no upgrade path to the latest version without me physically downloading and installing the latest version. That I did yesterday.
Having done that I now have addon's on my laptop like InboxQ that work fine; but on desk top get message 'this version of Firefox does not support...'
While I am aware and understand this is a beta version I a discovering a number of inconsistencies in what I can do one one computer that I am unable on the other, even though I am running the same versions of the beta. To my knowledge both are setup the same and both running in the same environments.
I have to say I am less than happy not being able to access my book marks.This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

You should avoid using the same Firefox profile with different Firefox versions.<br />
If you currently do then create a new profile exclusively for the Firefox 4 version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Firefox is the only browser that lets me connect with my microphone. I need to use this feature for an online class. Earlier this evening, the message prompting me to allow or deny the class website permission to use the microphone stopped appearing, and without it the recording won't pick up any sound and I can't record anything.
I tried exiting and restarting Firefox. I had some extensions in use at the time, in particular Session Manager. The allow/deny message still wouldn't appear, so I restarted my computer.
Now when I open Firefox I see the "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional" error message. In addition, the browser loads websites extremely slowly; it takes several minutes to load each page or for me to be able to click on anything (the URL bar, the menus, etc) My other browsers (Internet Explorer and Chrome) are running normally and load websites at a normal speed. I tried downloading the latest version of Firefox but it didn't fix anything. I also tried restarting the computer again but that didn't help either.
I ran my Avast software system check and it turned up that the following files under "C:\Users\(me)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Irozixj7.default" are "corrupted and unreadable":
-cookies.sqlite-shm
-cookies.sqlite-wal
-localstore.rdf
-places.sqlite-shm
There was one more problem on the scan, but it probably isn't relevant: for the file "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Definition Updates\{9A2C6FA7-E04E-4819-B86A-8363A9D1E42A}\mpengine.dll" it says "The system cannot find the path specified." When I attempted to follow the path indicated, one of the folders (I can't remember which) said something along the lines of "You can't access this folder, do you want to permanently allow access to this folder?" I said yes and was able to access the folder.
I have tried to add the Places Maintenance extension but the speed is too sluggish to download anything. Trying to access any of the menus results in the browser freezing for several minutes then unfreezing but with the menu still unopened. Therefore none of the solutions found here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional?esab=a&as=aaq) seem to work.
My questions are as follows:
-Is it possible to figure out what caused the problem in the first place?
-Is there a way for me to fix it without losing my bookmarks and history?
-How can I avoid this happening again in the future?First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder. To quickly access this folder:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Next, keep this folder open, exit Firefox, and try moving the "corrupted and unreadable" files to a different folder. With the exception of localstore.rdf, which stores window positions, toolbar customizations, and other nonessential data, the other files appear to be session-specific files that hopefully are not critical. If you restart Firefox, does it behave more normally?
If not, try creating a fresh Firefox profile. It will have the Flash plugin, which is the control sites usually use to connects your camera and/or microphone, and other plugins, but otherwise will be a new setup. This article has the steps for starting up in the Profile Manager: [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]].
If sites work normally in the new profile, you can import your bookmarks from your old profile, as well as copying over other files that don't seem to be causing the problem. Some trial and error might be required to determine that. This article has some tips: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].
If the new profile is no better, you can exit Firefox and use the Profile Manager to switch back to your original profile.
Any improvement? -

I've been having problems with Firefox hanging (seems related to Flash on a particular website). Through hours of troubleshooting yesterday, including on the phone with my ISP's help desk, it was recommended I "refresh" Firefox. I've done that before, and I did it yesterday again. This morning I opened Firefox to my home page (my ISP's portal), checked my email, logged out of email, closed that tab, opened two other forums and Photobucket--three tabs open in the window--to post photos and contribute to discussions in both forums. When done, I logged out of both forums and Photobucket, closed each tab separately, then quit Firefox. (While in Photobucket, Flash crashed several times....but that's not unusual with Photobucket in my experience. It's a different problem I am still dealing with....but forget it right now....) As part of yesterday's "refresh", I set Firefox to empty the cache and cookies and other files upon quitting.
Later in the day today, I opened Firefox, my ISP's portal opened as usual and expected (my "Home page"). Sometimes, rather than close that window/tab, I just open a bookmark and it opens in that same window, but replacing the previous window and its contents. That is normal operating procedure for me. You know, rather than having two windows open where I'll have to close the first one, I just have the bookmark open in place of the original window/contents.
Today (and it's happened before today, but only infrequently), the bookmarked page opened as if it was a frame in the active window....that is, my ISP's portal occupies about 3/4 of the window, but over on the left side of the window (not another tab or window, but in the very same window) is a slender partial view of the bookmarked page. This new web page--totally unrelated to the original page--has a scroll bar at the bottom, but can't be made to fill the window....the previously opened web page acts as a barrier to seeing the "new" frame/web page. While I can grab the right border of this "new frame" and drag it to the right, it still can't push the "old" original web page out of the way....the old page reaches some minimum limit and I get a split screen view of two entirely different web sites contained in exactly the same active window.
The "new" frame has an "x" in the upper right corner, so I could close it.....but my question is, why did it open in a completely different company's web page/window....how can two web pages from completely different organizations/companies/websites occupy the same active window in Firefox? I have screenshots.....attached. And, oh yes, besides the HOW and WHY of it, how can it be prevented (or is the best thing to just right click and open it in a new tab or window.....??????) That still doesn't satisfy me....I'm someone who needs to know WHY something happened that should not have happened. It makes me crazy when something strange happens and the "solution" is to change MY behavior. (You know, like if YOU were the problem, but I have to change MY behavior instead of fix what's wrong with YOU.....when fixing YOU might render the entire situation obsolete.)
Thanks for whatever you can suss out.....You do not have the properties in the Bookmarks Manager (Library), but you should have it if you right-click a bookmark the Bookmarks Toolbar or in the bookmarks sidebar.
On Mac you probably do not have it if you right-click an item in the Bookmarks menu (this menu is under control of the Mac OS), but I assume that this should work if you click the "Show your bookmarks" button on the Navigation Toolbar that is next to the star to bookmark the current tab and right-click an item in the bookmarks list that opens. -
What is a "live bookmark," and how can I make sure none of my bookmarks are live?
I'm trying to reduce Firefox's voluminous automatic Internet communication (see previous thread at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968773#question-reply for background). As far as I know, I have not subscribed to any news-feeds nor clicked on "subscribe to this page."
One thing I don't understand is how to tell whether any of my bookmarks are "live," or whether any of the sites I normally visit automatically refresh their open pages on my browser. I can find no entries on Mozilla Support that even explain what a "live bookmark" is.
Can somebody please:
1) define a "live bookmark,"
2) tell me how to identify one in my bookmarks sidebar (or elsewhere),
3) tell me how to change any "live bookmark" into and ordinary (dead) bookmark, and
4) tell me how to prevent any open Web pages from automatically updating on my browser? (Internet Explorer used to have options for when a page should be updated, including "never.")
I'm currently running Firefox 24.0 under Windows XP SP3. Thanks in advance! -- JCW2See the [[How to stop Firefox from automatically making connections without my permission]] article.
Live bookmarks, are not enabled by defualt, unless you enable them (the item will always show).

I have tried numerous solutions being posted in this support forum. I went in and deleted my places.sqlite file so that it created a whole new profile. I then tried to restore my bookmarks, and nothing happened.
I went in and discovered I had a places.sqlite.corrupt file. As suggested by one of the links provided in other articles, I deleted the other places.sqlite files, and then renamed the corrupt one as just places.sqlite. I restarted firefox and still nothing.

For a few weeks now, I've been getting the "Bookmarks and history system will not be functional..." message. When I clicked for more information, FireFox would freeze.
I found a solution about a new places database, but for the past few days I can't get FireFox to open at all. Then my whole system is frozen and I have to turn it off to get it going again, thus losing a lot of unsaved data.
How can I get FireFox back?A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I had about 100 Bookmark Folders and 500 to 600 Bookmark sub-folders inside the Bookmark Folders on Firefox 3.6.17. When I signed off my Windows XP system on Thursday the Firefox home Page was fine. When I logged on to the Firefox Homepage the next day the page changed and I was unable to change it back, the "add Apps" had no effect and I could not customize the page. My home page is google com ig dell using Mozilla Firefox as my Browser so I called Dell to get help. The Dell technician played with it for about 1 1/2 hours and then decided Firefox was corrupted and he would have to load a new copy. He uninstalled the old 3.6.17 and installed 4.0. I specifically told him I had lots of Bookmarks and could not lose them. He assured me it would be No Problem. When I checked after he finished, I had lost all my bookmarks. The Dell Technician could not retrieve the Bookmarks and had to go to a Dell Datasafe Backup that I did. He could only retrieve a small portion of my Bookmarks. It will take me weeks to build these Bookmarks again. I can't believe these are all gone from my hard drive. Is there anything I can do to retrieve them and how can I prevent this in the future.
I, too had my book marks disappear when I upgraded to FF 4.0
I am now back and enjoying FF 3.6.17 (my original) yet I am still
without my book marks and am floundering trying to recoup.
Any help appreciated. If unable to see my book marks in the near
future I will definitely jump ship. It's too bad that FF people have
created this problem. I am mystified and disgusted with their actions. -
On a recent problem,I refreshed my pc(windows8)which deleted Firefox 22.0.0.4917.I had installed this version on an external hard drive.I then had to download a new version of Firefox.How can I retrieve my bookmarks and history from the older version and install on the current version??

After upgrading my firefox I have lost all of my bookmarks. I've tried the fixes on your help page and got nowhere. I tried to do a system restore to before the upgrade and it made no difference. Sometimes on this firefox 3.6.10 it will not bookmark pages that I select. I really need my previous bookmarked pages. Please help.
This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How can I save my bookmarks, and email them?
I would like to save my bookmarks, and email them to one of my Gmail accounts. This way I can download them into another computer.
How do I do this?A couple of methods.
If you want the bookmarks on the other computer to be replaced with the bookmarks on your current computer, follow the procedure in the [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]] article to backup the bookmarks to a json file which you can email, and then restore those onto the other computer.
If you want to add the bookmarks to the other computer, but still keep the bookmarks that are already on the other computer, you need to export them to an html file. To do that see [[Exporting bookmarks to an HTML file]]. You can email the html file, and import it to the other computer, for details see [[Importing Bookmarks from an HTML File]].
