Can't find firefox folder in application support

Hi,
I'm trying to recover my passwords and bookmarks from an external hard disk. I use time machine and I am going to the latest back up. However, there is no firefox folder in the Library/ApplicationSupport folder. I can see 'mozilla' but there is nothing there. I had firefox on my computer, that's the browser I always use. Where can my firefox folder be? Or is there any other place can I get my passwords and bookmarks from in this case?
Thank you,
marta

Note that there may be two Library/ApplicationSupport folders.
You need the one in your user account (~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/) and not the one at the root level (/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/).
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show in Finder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.

I can't find iweb folder in application support

Hi
I formatted my macbook. Before format I back up domain.sites2.
Now I want to import domain.sites2 to new macbook (I mean formatted macbook)
I read forums and I saw that I have to copy+ paste this file to library/application support/iweb
But there is no iweb folder in application support.
I double clicked domain.sites2 while located in desktop; İweb opened but I can't see my older pages.
Please help me

Leave the old domain file in the iWeb folder and use the following app to see if it will let you open that particular domain file.
To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script"/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"

You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
Due to Sandboxing by the operating system you may get a message that the app can't be opened because it's from an unregistered developer. In that case you can Control (right) - click on the app and select Open from the contextual menu OR create your own app from the code above using Applescript Editor.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9 , go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

I've installed Firefox but don't have the Firefox folder in Application Support (but I need to access this to edit my profile since Firefox won't open)

Online troubleshooting tells me I have to go into my profile to edit something in order to get Firefox to launch. For now, it's telling me that only one copy of Firefox can be open at once. However, I don't have the Firefox folder in my Application Support, even though I've installed Firefox.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I reformated my computer and wanted to download Firefox ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_4; fr-fr) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16

I get the same thing with Firefox, IE8, Opera, and Safari. It isn't a Firefox only problem.
Are you new to that webhosting service? <br /> Have you ever uploaded web pages to that same web hosting service previously, pages that worked after an upload? <br /> Are those pages listed as ''' "public" ''' pages in your web hosts control panel?
My suggestion is to "download" your homepage and associated files & images from your PC, up to the server, using your web hosts control panel and see how that works.
Beyond that, I suspect that you might have missed an important setting in Dreanweaver for uploading to the web host's server. You might try asking about this issue at a Dreamweaver support forum.

Since the 3.6 upgrade, my bookmark toolbar has disappeared and I cannot add any bookmarks. The places.sqlite file is gone as is the Firefox folder in application support. It has been replaced by a Mozilla folder that has nothing in it.

Firefox will not recognize the backup file for bookmarks. It says "unable to process backup file". There is no places.sqlite file to delete. There is nothing in the profile folder

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

I can't find Firefox password data in Time Machine?

I upgraded to Firefox 7 today & stupidly deleted the extensions folder of Firefox 6 before doing so. I have attempted to restore bookmarks & password data using Time Machine but I can't find either file. I've done Finder searches and looked manually. There is no Firefox folder in Library, only one named Mozilla, which contains an empty extensions folder. Finder searches find nothing. I know that I am looking for key3.db and signons.sqlite but where have they gone? All help much appreciated.

Thanks Pondini but that's the point: there is no Firefox folder in Application Support, either in Lion or in Time Machine's backups, no matter how far back I go. There is only a Mozilla folder which is empty. I can locate the Firefox folder in Lion by going through Firefox/troubleshooting/show in finder so it's obviously hidden for some reason.
For some reason, most things in <home folder>/Library are treated as "system files" by a Finder Search, so it won't show them unless you specifically tell the search to include them. Thus it's usually easiest to just navigate to the folder you want.
And in Lion, the <home folder>/Library folder is hidden by default; you can see it via the Finder by pressing the Option key while selecting the Go item in the Finder's menubar. (You can make it permanently visible by copying chflags nohidden ~/Library into a Terminal window.)
I don't know how to do the equivalent in Time Machine. Any ideas?
In Time Machine, the <home folder>/Library folder should appear by default, and you should be able to "drill down" inside it to find the Firefox folder inside the Application Support folder.
If it doesn't, try selecting <home folder>/Library in the Finder as above, then Enter Time Machine. That should show the folder and contents.

I installed LR CC , but when i try launching it flashes & it is gone. I tried the solution in the Adobe Site - which says search for the folder Library/Application Support/ Adobe/ Sl Store ...., but i can't seem to find the SL Store or SLCache folders ( i use the Mac). Only then can i apply the solution. I just cant seem to find the folder in the first place

That did not work for me & as per adobe site help if signing out does not help- we are supposed to go the above folders & do some additional steps, but i could not find the folders & hence the question

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

On a clean Firefox download I consistantly can't open Firefox because "Windows can't find Firefox.exe" - doesn't look like it's being downloaded.

I have used several download sites including Mozilla's to try and download Firefox. In every case, when the download is "complete", the Firefox icon appears in the taskbar. When I click on it to open Firefox I get this message "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again." I've searched my computer and FIrefox.exe is not there. When I looked at the files that were downloaded in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox there are quite a number of files including one with the Firefox icon and the name "Firefox". Clicking it once again brings up that can't find Firefox.exe dialog box. I'm on an Acer Aspire with Win 7 32 bit. I did have Firefox on the laptop but a virus forced me to restore the laptop to its original configuration. I've reloaded my programs with the exception of Firefox.

Office 2011 - Can't Find Visual Basic for Applications Error

I have recently installed Microsoft Office 2011 on my Mac and have been using the Dev tools to program macros in VB. Suddenly, it stopped loading it when I try to enter the VB workspace and throws an error stating that "Can't Find Visual Basic for Applications." The error tries to be helpful, but in a typical Microsoft way is just plain vague. Any thoughts?

I have the same problem, but have no odd characters in my hard disc name.
I am pteey annoyed as I bought Office 2011 pre-loaded on my new Macbook, but it did not have the VBA (which is why I wanted Offfcie rather than the free OpenOffice in the first place).
VBA is supposedly on the Office distrbution CD, so I went through the loop of re-installing Office 2011 with the VBA option ticked. No VBA apperared. After 3 times trying the install, still no VBA. The macbook has the VBA framework file installed in the applications folder, but the clicking the editor tab in the developer tab of Excel just brings up an error massage sayng VBA is not installed.
Not clear where to go from here. Try the Genious Bar at the local mac store?

Itunes won't open. Says can't find the folder

Hi,
I could install Itunes and Quicktime, I already tried the msconfig solutions but it doesn't work. I have a ipod with video and I can't get it to work because itunes won't open.
It displays the license agreement and after I agree it displays error message "Can't find itunes folder or can't be created and is needed for Itunes to work. This is normally located under My music folder".
I tried to create manually the folder, and still doesn't work.
Can you help me with this or tell me if I can use another application to transfer video and photos to my Ipod?

This error prevents iTunes from launching. The library file was modified to work with the newer iTunes version, so it is no longer compatible with the previous version. The good news, however, is that Apple does backup the iTunes library file into a subdirectory that you can use to revert back to the previous version.
To recover a previous version of the iTunes Library.itl file, use the following steps:
Open up your My Documents\My Music folder.
We will first backup the current version. Rename iTunes Library.itl to something like iTunes Library.itl.bak.
Go into the My Documents\My Music\Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
You may see several files that start with iTunes Library and have a date included in the name. Copy the newest file in the folder.
Go back to the My Documents\My Music and paste the file from the previous step.
Rename the new copied file to iTunes Library.itl.
Your library should now be restored to the previous version of iTunes, and you should no longer receive the message.

Can't find an eligible Logic application in OSX10.4.3

Logic Pro/Express 7.1.1 update doesn't work in Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.4.1
Installing the Logic Pro or Logic Express version 7.1.1 update works fine in Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4.2 and later, but it won't work in earlier Tiger builds (10.4 and 10.4.1). When you try to update Logic 7.1 to version 7.1.1 on a computer with Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.4.1:
* Software Update will not detect or offer the Logic update.
* The standalone installer will erroneously state that it can't find an eligible Logic application in the Applications folder.
Hi,
I'm experiencing this problem with a G5 with OSX10.4.3. Anyone else??
buns

If you have changed the name of the logic app in any way, put it in a folder or moved it from the applications folder, the updater will not see it. it must be left untouched, as is, in the apps folder.. so this could be your problem.
as for the updater telling you that you have no valid version to update going from 7.0.1 to 7.1.1, that is in fact how it is supposed to be.. 7.1 was a paid upgrade, you have to order the update DVD for that and install it first, before you can go to 7.1.1. at least that is how it is for logic pro..
