Downgraded from Firefox 5.0 to 4.01 and can't find old search terms now

Because there were so many issues with the compatibility between Firefox 5.0 and Norton and Norton toolbar, I decided to downgrade back to Firefox 4.01.
I saved all of my old settings when I did so. However, now when I go to http://www.google.com/firefox and type in old searches that used to automatically come up when I searched them, they no longer come up. I'm talking my own personal searches, not autocomplete. The same thing happens on Bing, which used to have all of my own personal search history there.
When I click on my web site browsing history on the top toolbar on Firefox, it still has all of my old history, going back over a year. I also still have my old bookmarks and everything else.
So I know my old searches must still be somewhere on here. How do I bring them up/restore them so that they automatically come again when I use search engines?
I'd really appreciate anyone's help. This is really bothering me.

Hi, dmcritchie. I use http://www.google.com/firefox to do searches, not any Firefox or Google search toolbar.
It's confusing to explain, but I explain in much more detail here. I think the person I was explaining it to finally got what I was saying, lol:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/841107
You've got to scroll down a bit in that post to see my posts.
Anyway, I did find that link that you just posted in my many hours of searching to try to solve this problem. Unfortunately, that didn't work for me when I tried it.
I've tried pretty much everything and searched and searched, and so I've resigned myself to the fact that I most likely will not be able to figure out how to get those searches back. I'm ok with that. Thank you so much for your help, anyway!

  • I want to get rid of smart suggestor ads from firefox 16.0.2 on macbook probut can't find them in add-ons.

    On firefox 16.0.2 on a macbook pro OS X 10.8.2. Smart Suggestor Ads appear on top of my google search results. I did not install the Smart Suggestor add-on & I can't find it anywhere on my computer. I suspect this is something else. How do I get rid of it? Thanks for any help.

    this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your system. please go to tools > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally or don't know what purpose they serve, etc).

  • All of a sudden I can't print from Firefox. I reinstalled the printer and also reinstalled Firefox. No joy. I can print from Safari.

    I have an IMac, OS X 10.5.8
    I've had it for more than a year and have always been able to print from Firefox without a problem. I have an HP deskjet 6850 printer.
    Now I can't print from Firefox. When I hit print, I get the dialog box but if I click print -- or even click "preview" nothing happens. The dialog box disappears and nothing prints.

  • I just updated my Firefox version to 3.6, but I can't find any detials in My Bookmarks now? Where are they?

    I just updated my Firefox version to 3.6, but I can't find any detials in My Bookmarks now? They are not in the Favorites folder which is in the local drive either.

    1. The version of Firefox that you posted here with looks like Firefox 2.0, based on the UserAgent string this forum read from the browser being used. Is that what you updated from? <br />
    ''See this to fix your UserAgent string - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Websites+or+add-ons+incorrectly+report+incompatible+browser ''
    2. If you ever used a Firefox 3.0+ version in the last three years and then went back to the Firefox 2.0 version, the 3.6 version you now have is using your old bookmarks file from when you previously had a Firefox 3.0+ version in use.
    3. Firefox doesn't use the IE Favorites folder for storing bookmarks. Firefox bookmarks are stored in the Profile folder, in the file format appropriate to the version of Firefox being used. Firefox 2.0.0.x and earlier versions, it was the '''bookmarks.html''' file and in Firefox 3.0 and newer version, it is the '''places.sqlite''' file.
    4. What do you want to do as far as bookmarks go? <br />
    Import your IE Favorites into Firefox 3.6? <br />
    Or, restore the bookmarks that you were recently using in Firefox 2.0?

  • I just updated to 4.0.1 on my mac and now it says "Firefox is currently in offline mode and can't browse the web". It is not my internet since I am using Safari just fine. Any suggestions? I sure wish I wouldn't have updated!

  • On my ipad mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo).  I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server.

    On my iPad Mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo).  I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server. 
    My husband and I share an email address and if he misses a day checking email on his notebook, he doesn't receive the items that I have sent to Trash on my iPad Mini.
    Appreciate suggestions.
    [The curious thing is, if I "move" the deleted emails from Trash on my iPad Mini into the Inbox, I can go to my notebook, open my online email and they are back in my ATT/Yahoo Inbox.]

    Is your Yahoo account set up as POP3 or IMAP?

    Google show that you have to cut what you want to print and then paste it into a new app and print from that app.

  • I am trying to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my computer and can not figure out how to do it. Please help me..

    I am trying to transfer songs from my iPod touch to my computer and can not figure out how to do it. I also want to transfer the songs I have back in to iTunes. My hard drive went out on my computer and I lost all of my songs, except for on my iPod. I have an iPhone as well and did an update and it wiped out all of my songs. Someone please help me.

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer for just such an occasion.  use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size but It.

    Hi to the Mac Folks,
    I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. This is regardless of either printer selected.
    I primarily print photos from Photoshop CS5.  The term Page Set-up has gone missing in the file pull down menu. Can't make any choices  There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size paper format. Either being too large or too small.
    Saw a 2008 locked issue about this however none of the help fit my situation, options discussed are not available to me.
    Preview has no "Page Setup" - or does it?
    Does the constant struggle with computer compatability weirdness issues ever end or is it a enslavement scheme?

    Hey,
    if you know the name(s) of the root folder(s) you want to access (eg. by making a note on the Windows side) then you can make them appear by just doing Shift-Command-G in Finder ("Go to Folder…"), and entering the full path to the required folders.  You can then navigate all the contents as normal.
    HTH,

    Not sure if that same Application is designed for Mac Os x, Search for Applications on App Store instead of iTunes on your Macbook Pro, as Applications available on iTunes Store on a Macbook is designed to work only on iOS Device like iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and whatever is available on App Store on Mac is designed for Mac Os x.

  • Hi, I've just up-dated my OS in my MacPro 3.1 from 10.5 to 10.6.8 and can't seem to install my Logic Pro 8, any advise? can I install my Logic 8 in the 10.6.8 OS? Thanks

    Hi, I've just up-dated my OS in my MacPro 3.1 from 10.5 to 10.6.8 and can't seem to install my Logi Pro 8, I can install the libraries but not the program, is it possible to install or do I have to up-grade to Logic 9? Thanks

    It's either that Logic 8 is looking for the Rosetta emulation program or that Logic 8 was previously installed on this OS, in which case you will have to remove some preference files and install receipt.
    I think the Rosetta emulation is downloadable for SL.

  • I have a very old G$ that I use for ProTools. I just bought a slightly newer G4 and I want to find out if it is possible to transfer my old OS 10.2.8 system from one computer to the other so I can run my old ProTools system without a hitch. Thanks!

I just bought a slightly newer G4 and I want to find out if it is possible to transfer my old OS 10.2.8 system from one computer to the other so I can run my old ProTools system without a hitch. I would rather not buy the old 10.2.8 system as it is expensive. Thanks!

    Need to know which newer one, some cannot run 10.2.x.
    One solution might be to clone the 10.2.8 Drive to another drive, then Install a later OS on it Preserving Users & Settings.
    Best way to get an exact bootable copy of your old drive to the new one is with Carbon Copy Cloner...

    Relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

  • I just upgraded from PSE8 to 11 and can't find my catalog to convert.

    I just upgraded from PSE 8 to 11 and can't find my catalog to convert.  I watched the Manage My Catalog  instruction video, but my old catalog doesn't show in the box.  When I browse the DATA1 and DATA11 files in my PSE 8 folder the dialog box does not recognize them as catalogs.  I assume the catalog is one of these file, since they contain over 16,000 entries, which is how many photos I had in PSE8.
    What am I missing?  How do I find and convert my old catalog?

    Sometimes catalog conversion fails. It’s often a question of needing full permission settings and the easiest way to make it work is as an administrator directly from the desktop which bypasses the welcome screen background processes.
    Make a shortcut for organizer as follows:
    On Windows right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose New >> Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    Find the PSE Organizer application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    C: >> Program Files (x86) >> Adobe >> Elements 11 Organizer
    Within the Elements 11 Organizer folder find the application PhotoshopElementsOrganizer (not Photoshop Elements 11.0)
    Select (highlight) PhotoshopElementsOrganizer and click Next
    Then click Finish.
    Now right-click on your new desktop icon and choose “Run As Administrator” Then authorize by clicking yes in the User Account Control dialog.
    From the Organizer menu click:
    File >> Manage Catalogs
    Then click the “Convert” button
    Select your desired catalog from the list of previous versions of PSE to highlight it then click the “Convert” button down below it
    You should receive a message when the conversion has been successfully completed and your earlier catalog will be automatically re-named. Choose the new name from the list and click the “Open“ button and you are good to go.

    Which did you rent it on ? On an iPad it should have downloaded into the Videos app, if on your Mac is there a 'Rentals' tab at the top of the Movies section of your library ?
