Find bookmarks, HD out of laptop (where, what folder)

Laptop fried, (hardrive didnt)... trying to find bookmarks & such on hard drive I found the places.sqlite folder... what do I do with it? tnx

On Windows XP you can find the Firefox profile folder in this location:
*C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
The "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and later Window 7+ versions and the "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K are hidden folders.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
You can copy files that store specific data that you want to restore to the current profile folder with Firefox closed.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
For the bookmarks that would be places.sqlite or if there is a problem with this file then restore a compressed .jsonlz4 backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.

    Your iPhone charging port may have a minor short, causing iPhone to falsely sense it is connected to a dock turning off its speaker. Clean iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush.

  • After a search of the bookmark library for a certain bookmark (and search finds it), how do you then tell what folder it is in? There should be a 'Folder' column in the title line like this, Name, Tags,Folder,Location. Thank you.

    A search of the Library bookmarks should provide each bookmark's folder as well as Name, Tags, and Location.
    As it is now, a search (for example) for the string 'IESI', a refuse collection company in Central Texas, actually finds IESI. But what if you cannot remember what folder you put the IESI bookmark in? Current search fails to provide folder information.

  • In linux, saving a background image (set as Desktop)feature doesnt download my image to wallpaper folder..or even to standard "Save download" feature. Can I tell firefox where (what folder) to save my "Set as Desktop" picture?

    When I find a suitable picture to use as wallpaper" I often right click and use the menu item "Set as Desktop Background". The file ""example.jpg" is saved in directory\folder "/home/user" rather than for example "/home/user/my wallpaper" or in the directory
    "/home/user/Downloads". The latter as being set under the "Downloads" section on the "General" tab in the "Preferences" dialog box.
    Is there a configuration file where I can change the default location to save my "Set as Desktop Background" images. Or better still can the menu be customized to launch the application that allows me to set my desktop wallpapers?
    I am using the "PCLinuxOS" Linux OS but I have encountered this issue in many if not all the Linux distributions I have sampled.

    Don't use "Set as Desktop". Use ''' "Save Image As..." ''' instead, and file it with your other "wallpaper" images so the operating system has access to those images.
    IIRC, Firefox saves a "desktop image" to the Profile folder, and it will only save one image, at that. Change the image and the previous one is gone.

  • Search finds messages, but how do I know what folder the message is in?

    New to TB from Eudora. I like TB.
    Playing around with searching, both using the box within TB as well as Windows Search. Either way I get results - slightly different but that's okay. But using both methods, when I've found the message that interests me, I can't determine the TB folder in which the message resides. Is there a way to do this?

    have a look at the space being consumed by the mozmsg files and then decide if windows search is really worth it. I got rid of gigabytes of those files around 80 thousand of them. I thought it was more baggage than it was worth. What suprised me was that turn off the windows search option did not remove the files.
    But to your question. When you have the returned list in front of you. In the middle at the top, hidden in plain sight, is the show as a list option. Once you have them in a list you can click the widget at the end of the heading row and select folder. (unfortunately it does not save.)
    You might like the search under Ctrl+Shift+F as well. Those can be saved as "virtual folders"

  • I can no longer find Software Update on my laptop.  Running 10.10.1.  What happened to it?  Where did it go?

    I am running 10.10.1 MacBook Pro (Retina,15-inch, Late 2013) w/ 2 GHz Intel Core i7, and can no longer find Software Update on my laptop.  It is not in the menu under the Apple logo.  It canot be found in the applications list through Preferences.
    Can someone please explain what happened to it? 
    Where did it go? 
    Why?
    Thank you!

    The Software Update item in the Apple menu has been REPLACED by the App Store. It is still present in the system if you go to About This Mac, where you will see "Software Update..." as one of the buttons in the Overview section of the information window that appears. The difference here is that the App Store menu option will only launch the App Store's main landing page, whereas the Software Update button will launch the store and then check for any system and other updates available.

  • I have an iphone 2g unlocked for tmobile.  For the past 2 years it has worked fine then out of no where I get this message "your selected cellular network is no longer available" and the service cuts in and out all day.  It can't find tmobile on my phone?

    I have an iphone 2g unlocked for tmobile.  For the past 2 years it has worked fine then out of no where I get this message "your selected cellular network is no longer available" and the service cuts in and out all day.  It can't find tmobile on my phone for some reason but for 2 years previous it could no problem?  tmobile says it is a problem with my phone and not their service.
    Any ideas what to do?

    I would just explain that this just started happening, that nothing has changed on the phone, that it is an original iPhone and I wondered if they are implementing a change in coverage with their Edge network in my area.
    If you restore your phone, you will be given an option to back up your phone at the beginning of the process (see step 6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).  You will be given the option to restore to that backup at the end of the restore process.  Your messages are stored in the backup so restoring to the backup will return the messages to your phone.  Be sure to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts somewhere before restoring your phone as these sometimesget lost in the restore process.

  • When I login, all of my desktop items are gone, the "Finder" icon is bouncing and a message asking to restore windows is blinking but unresponsive. I can't exit out of it. What do I do? I've tried force quitting, and it doesn't get rid of it.

    Hey sunnyday7!
    Here is an article that can help you address this issue:
    OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3411
    Additional Information
    OS X automatically relaunches the Finder when it is quit. If the Finder is unresponsive, use Force Quit to relaunch it. Select Finder in the Force Quit Window or Dock, then click Relaunch.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • I'm trying to connect my Bluetooth JBL speakers to my Macbook Pro but it isn't working. I can't seem to find Bluetooth Setup Assistant because I updated my laptop. What should I do?

    I'm trying to connect my Bluetooth JBL speakers to my Macbook Pro but it isn't working. I can't seem to find Bluetooth Setup Assistant because I updated my laptop. What should I do?

    Make sure you set the speakers as discoverable, which usually involves holding down a button for a few seconds. Go to System Preferences / Bluetooth and you should be able to add it.

  • Where can I find the pin-outs for 8-pin remote Hirose connector?

    Where can I find the pin-outs for 8-pin remote Hirose connector?

    Pin outs and wiring info is all in the Maintenance Manuals (same for all system cameras, F series, XDCAM etc.), - ask your local Sony Office if you want the info.The 8pin remote is for connection to the Sony RM-B150/170/750 remote control panels.For system cameras the same protocol is used between RCP panels, MSU, CCUs and camera heads.It is a proprietry system so extremely difficult to hack!The RM-B170 is the ideal panel to work with the PMW-F5/55. It will give basic painting control of R/B white & black painting, Master Pedestal, and Iris with the correct lens (Cabrio etc). It can also control remote Rec stop start.Regards, Clive. Sony ANZ.

    I can't select it .. I click on it and nothing happens. The only thing I seem to be able to do is a two fingered click which brings up a context menu for the side bar preferences..but unfortunately this icon does not appear in the list.

  • Upgraded to v.4, can't find "bookmark all tabs". Where is?

    Where in this new interface is "bookmark all tabs"?
    Tab groups are not it.

    Some menu entries are hidden by default and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu.
    * [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626825 Bug 626825] - Hide redundant menu commands unless the user invokes the menu using the keyboard (make use of the openedWithKey attribute)
    "Bookmark All Tabs" and "Bookmark All Tabs" in the Bookmarks menu are among them.<br />
    You can see the difference if you use Alt+F or Alt+B to the File and Bookmarks menu and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by pressing Alt or by pressing F10.
    * "Bookmark This Page" and "Bookmark All Tabs" no longer show in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
    * "Bookmark This Page" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of that browser page.
    * "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.
