Computer crashed but now restored. how do i get my old bookmarks back

running windows 7 with the new firefox
computer was restored to windows 7 after it stopped working. still has the same drive and i still have all of my old files in the "windows.old" folder.
how do i restore my bookmarks that i had from before the crash?

Your bookmarks (and history) are in a database file named places.sqlite in your old Firefox profile folder. If you restore that folder to the expected location, you should pick up where you left off (which is good if Firefox was working well at the time).

How can I get my old bookmarks back?

I tried copying and pasting the places.sqlite from my old harddrive onto my new one but it didn't do anything. Is there any way to get my bookmarks onto my new computer?

Are you copying the places.sqlite file into your active profile folder? You can open your active profile folder this way:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Open Containing Folder" button
Close Firefox before copying the file in so it isn't overwritten when Firefox closes.
Your '''old''' profile folder also should contain a folder named bookmarkbackups. You can restore a JSON file from that folder. See this article for more information: [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing-up-restoring-bookmarks Backing up and restoring bookmarks | How to | Firefox Help].

How do you get your old bookmarks back that is gone from firefox upgrade?

Firefox really screwed up with the bookmarks with the new browser. I found another work around besides the other post. You may need the older browser so go to the other link and install the older browser after you uninstalled the new browser. Right now I am using Palemoon browser to post this which is a true 64bit browser and looks like a clone of Firefox. Really impressed with Palemoon so I am going to continue to try it out.
Go here for instructions to restore your old bookmarks. Like I said you may need to reinstall the older Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them?esab=a&s=restore+bookmark+from+backup&r=0&as=s#w_restoring-from-backups
If your bookmarks are on another PC computer go where Firefox keeps a backup of your bookmarks in your pc. In Windows 8 it is located in
C:\Users\lion\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\5eczdook.default\bookmarkbackups
In Windows 7 and XP it is located somewhere in the AppData. Just browse to the AppData folder and find your way to Mozilla
In the Mac it is similar but in the Library I believe. With a Mac just use common sense and Linux basics.
Once you located the bookmarks, look for the file with the date you want. Copy that sucker and paste it in the proper folder on the other computer where you want your bookmarks restored. Then run the Restore and mentioned above.
Your done!
If you want to check out Palemoon goto http://www.palemoon.org/ ...Palemoon defaults with Duckandgo search engine which is an up and coming search engine that doesn't track you and provides listing that focuses on keywords. I am liking it also.

Hi gman411,
This forum is for questions about Firefox. Please see the Palemoon forum [http://forum.palemoon.org/]

How can I get my old bookmarks back after I downloaded a fresh copy of Firefox?

While I was at work, my wife downloaded what she thought was an update to our current Firefox App. Turns out it was a "fresh version." How can I get my history and bookmarks back? Do I still have the old version (the most recent version before the download of the Fresh Version) on my computer somewhere?

Hi, please have a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data this article] which should help you to restore your bookmarks etc.

Before you did the resotore Via itunes you should of made a Back-up of your Data. But to be honest, i don't think that you would be able to get that stuff back.. Sorry mate

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Without a backup, you will not be able to recover deleted contacts. You need to set up a separate iCloud account for your daughter, so you can keep your mail, contacts, calendars etc separate.

Setup a new iPad because I couldn't restore my old iCloud as my new iPad didn't have the latest software. How do I get my old pictures back?

Once I find the back up file how do I get in onto my phone without the restrictions code going back on too?
You don't... If you restore the backup, it will restore the restrictions passcode.
Do you have your contacts, calendar, etc, synced to your computer? I'm not asking if you backed up, I'm asking if you synced... In other words, if you open Outlook, or Windows Address Book (I'm assuming you use a PC) are your contacts there?
If you have not been syncing your contacts, etc, you may have to restore so that you can set up the sync, get the contact data off the phone, then set it up as a new phone again, do not restore the backup, and set up the sync with your address book.

I downloaded firefox 5 but lost my tool bars, how can i get the old version back?

I downloaded firefox 5 but lost my tool bars, how can i get the old version back? It said my tool bars are not compatible. I want them back.

That is the new appearance Firefox 4 and now Firefox 5, you can easily put things back because Firefox is customizable.
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

Not true at all.
You only buy the right to your own personal use.
You do NOT have the right to distribute to others.
This is illegal. There is no doubt about it

I have a new computer, downloaded itunes, how do I get my old library back?

I have a new computer, downloaded itunes. How do I get my old library back so I can sync w/ipod nano?

Do you still have the old PC around? If so, you might be able to still copy the iTunes library from that PC over to the one.
Or is the music still on your Nano? If so, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your new PC and into iTunes.

Otherwise, you can redownload most iTunes purchases again at no cost using iCloud. If the music and content was imported from outside of iTunes you'll need to either re-rip the tracks into iTunes or redownload them using whatever utility or store you originally purchased them from.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:

I do not think it included audio books.
