Can I restore bookmarks from Firefox Home on iphone to reinstalled Firefox 6?

I have Firefox home synced on iphone 4 with all my bookmarks etc.
I downgraded to Firefox 6 from 7 as so many of my add ons etc wouldn't work on it. Now I want to 'restore' my bookmarks etc from the iphone via sync but can't seem to stop both Firefox 6 and the Firefox home from giving me codes to enter into each other at the same time. Is there a way?

Hi!
Unfortunately this is not possible. Did you ever recorded the Recovery Key and safe that? If so you can log-in to your Sync account with it. Follow these instructions: [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]] Specifically the section "What if I'm not near my computer?" at the bottom.
The explanation is that Firefox Home is just a client that receives information from the server and doesn't send the information back to the server, so if you reset the Recovery Key the information in the server will be destroyed and the old information will not be uploaded again. And it doesn't show the Recovery Key either.
Let me know if this helps, and sorry to be the carrier of the bad news.

  • I can't open bookmarks from the menu in new tab on firefox 6.0 using the mouse middle button or right click. Is this normal?

    I can't open my bookmarks from the menu in a new tab.
    I'm wondering if this is simply not a feature and requires an add-on. I'd rather not need to use an add-on.
    can anybody help?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • How can I restore bookmarks from a hard drive?

    I had a hard drive problem and could not run windows in the hard drive.I was able to copy the drive to another drive.
    Now what I would like to do would be to find a file that has the bookmarks on that drive at included on the new hard drive.
    Can this be done?
    We would I find the files?

    The bookmarks, along with the history is stored in a file called places.sqlite inside the profile folder. In Windows 7 the default location for the profile folder is:
    C:\Users\<Windows user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>
    The profile folder name will typically be xxxxxxxx.default, where xxxxxxxx is a random set of characters. The profile folder is normally hidden, to display it see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    With Firefox closed you can copy the places.sqlite file from this location into your current profile folder. You can recover more than just the bookmarks, for details see [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].

  • How can I restore bookmarks from a now dead computer to a new computer? I cannot access the bookmark library as directed in the restore article.

    My old computer died. I got a new computer 2 weeks ago. I tried using the restore from backup function as described in the Mozilla help article. However, when I click on the bookmark icon, it only shows menus, not the library as described in the article. How do I access the backup function so I can move my old bookmarks to my new machine?

    Thank you, it worked well, once I looked for the files to match.
    Thank you for your help.

  • I installed Firefox sync and then used iphone app called FireFox Home and I can syncronize history, tabs and bookmarks. But I am NOT able to syncronize passwords from Firefox in my Macbook to FireFox Home on iPhone !

    I installed Firefox sync and then used iphone app called FireFox Home and I can syncronize history, tabs and bookmarks. But I am NOT able to syncronize passwords from Firefox in my Macbook to FireFox Home on iPhone so I am very terrible to input my IDs and Passwords with my hands on FireFox Home when I log into Facebook, Twitter etc... Is it issue or something like that? If you have some solutions to make it clear, can you tell me how to syncronize memorized IDs and Passwords for the webs. Thank you.

    You can look in Tools > Options > Sync

  • IMac G5 (10.3.9) display died. Saved hard drive as external disk. Can't import bookmarks from Firefox 2.0.0.2 to use on Mac Mini (10.4.11).

    My G5 ran OSX 10.3.9 (highest functional version for that hardware). My Mac Mini (core solo) runs OSX 10.4.1.1 or thereabouts. I don't like the way any other browser works on the Mini, so I want to continue using Firefox, which was my default browser on the iMac, and I had years and years' worth of bookmarks on the iMac that I hope I don't have to rebuild one at a time. The iMac crash involved the display; the hard drive is completely functional and is in a new external drive case. The Apple Store folks said they're not allowed to work on such an old machine and likely it couldn't be repaired anyway. So, I have Firefox and presumably all its bookmarks (and maybe bookmarks backups) on the external hard drive, but the version of Firefox I copied to the Mac Mini does not appear to include any of my bookmarks, and the Firefox web site instructions for restoring Bookmarks from Firefox to Firefox don't address this older version. (I've even tried opening Firefox on the external drive and all I get is the 'clean slate' version with none of my old bookmarks.) How do I restore bookmarks from one version of Firefox to the same version of Firefox, just on a different, newer OS?

    Firefox 2 versions use the file bookmarks.html to store the bookmarks.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
    See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    With Mac OS X 10.4 you can use Firefox 3.5 or 3.6

  • How can I copy bookmarks from winxp laptop to win7 laptop w/firfox already on it?

    no details. just need to move/copy extensive bookmarks from old laptop to new laptop.

    The ''places.sqlite'' file in the profile folder stores both history and bookmarks. You can replace the current file with the one from the other computer if you want to restore the old set of bookmarks and history (doing so will of course replace the current set).
    * [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
    If you only want to replace your bookmarks and leave history unaffected, see
    * [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    If you'd rather add old bookmarks to the existing set and leave current bookmarks unaffected, see the following articles.

  • How can i retrieve bookmarks from time machine?

    Hello. I need major help. This past weekend, I had to wipe the HD on my Macbook Pro. I did have Time Machine backups at the time. Is there any way to retrieve my old Firefox bookmarks from Time Machine? Please help. I'm trying to recover more than two years of work. Please help! :-)

    You would have to find the previously used Firefox profile folder in the Time Machine backup.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    The profile folder consists of a part with a random name and a trailing file extension part that shows in the Profile Manager.
    You need to go one level up and locate that folder in the time machine backup.
    */Users/&lt;user&gt;/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/&lt;profile&gt;/
    Then you need to transfer the places.sqlite file to the current profile folder or possibly use a JSON backup to restore the bookmarks.
    Make sure to remove other possible places.sqlite files (places.sqlite-shm and places.sqlite-wal in particular).

    I inadvertently deleted the source tunes from my iMac.  How do/can I restore them from my iCloud account?

    Welcome to the Alpple Community.
    Your iCloud account doesn't have anything to do with iTunes. With iTunes in the cloud you can redownload tunes you have purchased from iTunes (select purchases from the list of options in the top right hand corner of the iTunes home page.
    If you have iTunes match you can redownload all your tunes by clicking the cloud icon at the right of each listing.

  • How can i add bookmarks from my old hard drive to new hard drive on the same computer without overwriting the new bookmarks on my new hardrive? Cheers

    The old hard drive was operating on Xp and new hard drive is Windows 7, if this makes any difference.

    Unfortunately there is no simple method and, the workaround is far from perfect. The .json files Firefox uses overwite the existing bookmarks but the .html option appends and does not overwrite.
    First of all backup all bookmarks on each hard drive. The best method of doing that is to backup the Firefox profiles, that captures the bookmarks databases (''places.sqlite'') and the autobackups that Firefox holds.
    * [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    * [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    #First ensure you have the largest databsae on the current install of Firefox. If necessary
    ##Locate the Firefox Profile on the old drive
    ##* [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
    ##Open Firefox and find the profile that is currently in use.
    ##*Quick method <br/>Use FirefoxButton -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information [Open Folder] <br />(No certain of exact wordings, OR navigate to ''about:support'' )
    ##* [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    #Now use HTML backups to transfer from the smaller database the basic bookmarks.
    ## Close Firefox & if the old database is the largest one use the Operating System copy option to overwrite the existing places.sqlite so that Firefox now uses the old database
    ## Reopen Firefox but this time open using the old profile. The easiest method of that may be to disable the new drive from the Bios or alternatively use Firefox profile manager and register the old profile location and open firefox with that profile
    ##* [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
    ## Export the bookmarks from the old profile using the Firefox Library and the HTML option.
    ##* see [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
    ## Close Firefox, reopen new version/newprofile and import the HTML.
    You now have the largest database of complete bookmarks with tags etc. , plus additional bookmarks from the smaller database added on. Obviously you may have some duplication
