Downloaded new version but it's put bookmarks etc in folder on desktop, how to reinstall ?

I've installed the new version of firefox but there are no bookmarks transfered to this version, instead there's a folder appeared on the desktop called Old Firefox Data, how do i reinstall my bookmarks etc ?

That happens when you reset (refresh) Firefox.

Isn't any data imported in the new profile?
When you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop to an "Old Firefox Data" folder.
Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.
It is possible to recover data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

  • I downloaded new version but firefox still says I need to update - why, and if there's an "install" step I'm missing why are there no instructions on how to do so???

    Why does Firefox insist that I'm still using version 3.whatever when I have faithfully downloaded new versions when it tells me to do so -- most recently version 8.whatever (today). If "downloading" isn't enough and there's also an "install" step, I have yet to find anywhere in the Firefox that tells me how to do so. I have restarted my computer, but that doesn't seem to make any difference. It still tells me I'm using an outdated version that soon will not be supported.

    What you are seeing sounds like the "advertised update" from Firefox 3.6 versions to Firefox 8.0.1 that started on 2011-12-01. See --> https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_3.6_MU
    This is the same as has occurred when prior versions were nearing their end-of-life. Support for Firefox 3.6 versions is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.
    There are changes in the interface from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 4 and newer versions. See --> https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-updating-firefox
    The new Firefox version can be made to closely resemble the 3.6 Firefox interface.

    The only currently supported versions are 3.6.24 and 8.0.1. Firefox 9.0 will be released on or about 2011-12-20 and will completely replace Firefox 8.0.1; an update to Firefox 3.6.25 from Firefox 3.6.24 will likely occur around that same time to correct any new security/stability issues found in Firefox 3.6.24.

  • Can't open Numbers on computer, it says to download new version but new version is already installed

    I cant open Numbers in my computer, it says to download new version in app store. i have done that but it still continues to give me that message.

    Are you launching Numbers from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Numbers from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
    Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

  • I have downloaded new version, but still getting message "Urgent to Update". What do I do next?

    I got the message that it was time to download the newest version of Firefox. I clicked, and followed the steps. It showed to be downloading, and it checked for viruses, etc. But the message is still showing that it is "urgent" that I download the newest version or I won't be protected. When I click the "Help" and "check for newest versions" it shows me there is nothing available. What should I do next??

    Your user agent string (identifies the version of Firefox) is showing that you have Firefox 3.0.13.
    If you have downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.13, you may have an incorrect user agent string. Some add-ons modify the user agent string causing it to show an old version of Firefox even if you have the latest version installed. If this has happened you can reset the user agent string, for details of how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Websites+or+add-ons+incorrectly+report+incompatible+browser
    If the user agent string is correct, how did you install the new version? You mentioned downloading the new version but did not mention running the setup file that was downloaded to install the new version.

    == i tried to download newer version of firefox

    In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
    See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
    You can find the connection setting here: Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select ''No Proxy''

  • It keeps asking me to download new version but takes me back to apple site like its from the beginning - will it erase my current itunes and contents?

    On opening my Itunes it asks if I want to download latest version - usually I say yes and away it goes, but lately it redirects me to the Apple site like I am downloading it for the first time and i am scared if I go through with it that it will create a new Itunes and my old one will be lost and all my songs - is this happening to anybody else - will it override your old itunes?? I don't understand why its changed?
    Please help, anybody!
    Thanks

    All should be fine... but... just in case... have you considered backing up your iTunes Library Before doing any Update.../ Upgrade...
    Always a Good Idea to have a backup, especially of Music and Photos...

    Go to the App Store and download the app again.
    Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
    If the download stops, you can resume it.

  • Firefox automatically updated to a version that will not run on my version of OSX... can I reinstall my old version and keep my saved bookmarks, etc?

    I am running OSX 10.4.11 on my iMac; Firefox automatically updated to version 12, and now it will not run on my computer.
    Is there a way to deinstall the new version while keeping my saved bookmarks, etc?
    If not, how do I deinstall 12 and reinstall the older version of Firefox that worked with my operating system?
    Thanks.

    [[Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.4 or PowerPC processors]].
    You can install Firefox 3.6 from [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]. Please keep in mind that not only is Firefox not receiving any updates (thus rendering it insecure), neither is Mac 10.4 or any of the plugins used on it. Running such an old Operating System is dangerous to your information's security on the internet. something for you to keep in mind.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

    Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.
