Can't restore previous tab history after updating to version 24

The restore option "restore previous session" is gray. I tried the instructions on firefox to restore a backup. But I cannot open back up files with Windows 7. Must have to do with the "default" extension.
Is there any freeware to solve this problem? I could only find useless promotions from Microsoft partners and unauthorised registrations of my files on e.g. "mybackup" or PCHealthBoost. They advertised to be supposedly free, but are not!
I have not yet reset firefox in order to keep the tabs before installing the new version
Thank you very much beforehand!

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the Browsing History
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
You can check the browser.sessionstore.* prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page and reset user set (bold) browser.sessionstore.*prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu to make sure that Session Restore is enabled and working properly.

How can I restore my contact list after updating it to iOS 7

I have updated my iPhone 4s to io7 and all of a sudden my contact list got replaced by someone else contact list. How can i restore my contact list

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly, most especially before any update/restore/etc
If you have failed to sync your contacts, then they are very likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup

How can I restore my settings, etc. after update to Firefox 20 reset everything?

Windows 7 Starter, Firefox 20; running from non-administrator account (possibly the cause of issues):
I updated to Firefox 20, and everything was reset (i.e. homepage, bookmarks, passwords, addons).
I searched online for solutions but it hasn't helped me (i.e. Profile Manager).
I located the profiles folder, and it contains one folder called: shunltlp.default
the folder seems to have all the necessary files, e.g. bookmarks, key3, etc.
How can I get Firefox to use these files, and restore my settings, etc.?
Thanks,
Davoid.

Hi cor-el,
Thanks for the reply.
I had been to that page during my search for solutions but found it a bit confusing, although I did create a new profile but didn't understand the choose folder part.
I re-read the instructions and I have been able to restore my old profile.
So, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Re: running my Firefox from a non-administrator account
I think this may have been the cause of the profile problem.
I.e. when I selected 'Choose a folder' when creating the new profile, the default folder path was Administrator> etc., where as my old profile was not there, but in Username> etc. folder path...
I understand browsing from a non-administrator account is the sensible security option, but is causes other problems when installing updates...
Thanks for the help. It's much appreciated.
Davoid.

Can I restore a free app after updating to OS 6

I updated my Iphone to OS 6. I lost all my 'free' apps. After searching around I did find several of the apps at the APP Store -> Update -> Purshased and was able to re-install . I still cannot find and restore Photo Sort which means I lost all the photos stored in Photo Sort. Any help ?

Unfortunately, there are free and then there are "free". In the short time I've had the i5, have been able to acquire interesting and useful apps at no cost that are not there anymore. The freeness has expired or the maker used them as enticement for their priced products and have discontinued their distribution. I hope that the copy of the apps that iTunes keeps will allow me to recover them should the need arise, but when updates and other nasty things occur, the reliability of that safety net comes into doubt.
As for Photo-Sort, I find it as Available on my iTunes setup, but it is no longer free. Romain HENRI is the developer: http://photo-sort.webs.com

Error 1013, cannot restore my iPhone 4 after update new version 4.30

Any advice please!
Thanks!

Well, another case of hurting the good, while trying to go after the bad. What the issue is apparently Apple put in a check point feature around version 4.2.1 that checks for users who are redirecting their connections to gs.appl.com. If the itunes process suspects this, your phone firmware management process stays in recovery mode. You get error 1013 which says you have a hardware error and list numerous hardware related things for you to check. So my iphone sat on my dresser for two months under the belief that I had a hard ware issue. Well the fact of the matter is that there was nothing wrong with my phone. Apparently there are users who jail brake their iphone to run other apps, and for those users, they have an entry in their hosts file that redirects gs.apple.com to a website that is set up to assists jail break users. all this not endorsed by apple. The checkpoint feature that apple put in to detect this uses a timer and waits for a response between your system and gs.apple.com. If the timer threashold elapses, an assumption is made that you are redirecting your gs.apple.com connection, and are a jail break user. Your phone gets put into recovery mode. Problem with this is that there are ligitimet users who have host files that are ligitemt and does not redirect their connections to gs.apple.com. In my case I use a 60,000 line hosts file to redirect adware, malware, and other vulnabilary type sites. The lenth of time for my PC to search thru this file exceeds the threashold period involved in the checkpoint process, and even though the gs.apple.com entry does not appear in my hosts file, an assumption was made that I was a redirection of gs.apple.com user, and my phone was put into recovery mode. to fix my problem I tempoaryily used the default hosts file of
Host Database
localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
I have no reason to prevent my system from talking to gs.apple.com. It just takes a little longer to do so. There are thousands of iphone users right now who have iphones locked into recovery mode, probably because they are on a slow internet connection and their threashold is being exceeded. These folks are innocent victims of of the pursuit of the jail break users. Apple needs to figure out another way to do this with out impacting loyal customers. Apple. shame on you.

Clicking on Microsoft Update opened Firefox, but couldn't run from Firefox; when I closed Firefox I lost all my tabs and couldn't restore anything but the Microsoft page; how can I restore the tabs from an earlier session?

Hi Diovizor,
Make sure that you do not use [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.
Also please make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.
You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: Use custome settings for history. Uncheck "Always use permanent Private Browsing mode"
Hope that helps!

When I start firefox, the previous tabs are there but blank and say new tab, can I restore the tabs?

When I start firefox, the previous tabs are there but blank and say new tab, can I restore the tabs?
how can I do this?

I'm not sure what causes this.
As the first step, I recommend backing up your existing sessionstore files.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Scroll down to the files whose names start with sessionstore. You should find at least sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak. If the .js extension does not appear on sessionstore, you should turn off the Windows feature that hides file extensions from you, so that you can work with file names as accurately as possible. This Microsoft support article has the steps: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219].
Make backup copies of all the sessionstore files to somewhere like your Documents folder for possible later restoration.
Next, try one of the data mining techniques in these posts to rescue the URLs from the sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak file:

Like Firefox, can Safari restore its tabs when (closed and) re-opened?

If Firefox contains open / active tabs and is closed, those tabs (and their history) can (via a setting) be restored when Firefox is re-opened.
Can Safari restore its tabs when it's re-opened as well?

In my Safari for Windows (5.0.5) I've got a "Reopen all Windows from previous session" command. (In my History Menu.)

My phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings. My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

I attempted to update to iOS 8 and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings. My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?

Hi, kformagg
I would say yes. I once had the same problem (iPhone 5, IOS 7) and first restored to factory settings and after that from iCloud backup.
It worked very well.

Why can't I access my music after updating to iOS 5?

why can't I access my music after updating to iOS 5?

Same problem here. After installing iOS 5, restoring, and syncing... when I clicked on the music icon on my iPad, none of my songs were there. All I saw was "download music from iTunes store." But, on iTunes, when I clicked on my iPad icon (then Music), it showed that all of my songs were synced!
So, this is what worked for me, I rebooted my iPad.
I turned off my iPad by holding down the sleep button for about 5 seconds, then the "Slide to power off" came up, and I powered off my iPad.
Then, I started it up again, and clicked on the music icon on my iPad, and now all of my synced music showed up.
I hope this helps some of you guys out there.

I've tried reopening this App and restarting my iphone but still not working.
Please Help me to restore my data (more than 2,000 pics) in this App.

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Then reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
