Firefox 3.6.12 is deleting all my profile data once per day on Windows Vista. 3.6.11 worked fine.

09.11.2010 After an autoupdate to 3.6.12 Firefox asks for profile when starting up. Firefox does not recognize existing profiles in the correct profile directory. Bookmarks etc are copied to a new profile and the new profile taken into use.
11.11.2010 Firefox starts up by asking for profile. All previous profile data has been deleted. The only thing remaining is a > 46MB big urlclassifier3.sqlite file in the local\firefox\profiles directory. All bookmarks, cookies and other information has been deleted from all previously defined profiles(!!!)

This can happen if you have uninstalled a Firefox version and placed a check mark to remove personal data. That will delete every profile folder listed in profiles.ini, also from other versions.

  • HT1339 I have to restore my ipod, will it delete all of my data, if so how can I back it up???

    I have to restore my ipod, will it delete all of my data, if so how can I back it up??? My ipod won't let me delete any photos, or download any apps, so I turned it off and back on when the itunes and usb symboyl appeared I just download Itunes, and i can only restore it, Will it delete everything?!?!

    Yes, you need to restore. Here is how:
    Plug your iPod into a computer with iTunes
    Go into your iPod's section on the bar on the left hand side of iTunes
    Click restore
    Confirm the restore with the dialog boxes that pop up.
    When it is done, if you have a recent backup of your iPod in iTunes, you can tell it to use it.

  • How to delete all previous icloud data from current icloud after sighning in with the current icloud account

    so i sighned into someone elses device with the current icloud account and i sighned out. Some of the icloud data from the other device is now on mine. All i want to know is how to delete all the icloud data in my current icloud account from the other icloud account

    Hello ,
    I had the same problem and i have done everything manually.
    It's a shame that Apple doesn't put a "Reset to factory Settings" button or simply "Delete all data from iCloud.com". That way, it would be much simpler for everyone including myself.
    Winston Churchill is right unfortunately . Happy deleting !
    Kind Regards,

  • Why can't I delete all incoming messages at once without having to select each one first. It can be done while in the "Trash" folder, but not the "IN" folder.

    Why can't I delete all incoming messages at once without having to select each one first. It can be done while in the "Trash" folder, but not the "IN" folder.

    Well, what I see happing is this: Tapping edit and checking the first message brings up the “Delete” option. Holding it until the red message “Delete Message” appears, then letting go of the red button and tapping the checked button makes the “Delete Message” message go away. The checked message is still checked with an option to delete just that message. Tap the checked message again just cancels the whole process and I’m back to square one.
    However, if I check a message that is part of a thread of messages and tap Delete, I have the option of deleting all messages in the thread.
    Perhaps the fact that I’m using the 3rd generation of the iPad is the problem, but your suggestion isn’t working.

  • How can I delete all songs and data from my 80GB ipod classic without opening itunes?

    I have an older 80GB ipod classic that works but will not play any songs. I'm trying to delete all songs and data from the hard drive to see if that will fix the problem, however, it will not appear in my itunes. I've tried various ways to help it appear in my itunes but I do not want to delete my itunes because I have another ipod that has all those songs on it.
    I was wondering if there was a way to restore my ipod back to the beginning without having to go through itunes. Thanks!

    It might, but I wouldn't bet much on it.  Either way, give it a shot.
    Otherwise, if appears in Windows an external hard disk, try a low level reformat of the device's hard drive.  See here for instructions on how to do this.

  • How do I wipe/delete all of the data in my Mail App on OS10.10?

    I want to delete everything connected to Mail App on my OS X device. 
    How do I wipe/delete all of the data in my Mail App on OS10.10?
    Thank you.

    Remove your email accounts from Mail. Quite Mail. Navigate to the /Home/Library/ folder. Locate the Mail folder and drag it to the Trash. Go to the Preferences folder and locate all preference files starting with "com.apple.mail" and drag them to the Trash. Go to the Containers folder and drag the two com.apple. mail related folders to the Trash.
    Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
    Pick one of the following methods:
    A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN.
    B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
    C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
    ~/Library
    Press the Go button.
    Do not re-open Mail lest it attempt to re-populate all that information from iCloud.

  • I installed Firefox 3.6. Since then, I am unable to open pdf documents in Firefox. I get a black page. I tried opening the same document in Internet Explorer. It worked fine. I recently installed Nuance's pdf reader and thought that might be the problem.

    I installed Firefox 3.6. Since then, I am unable to open pdf documents in Firefox. I get a black page. I tried opening the same document in Internet Explorer. It worked fine. I recently installed Nuance's pdf reader and thought that might be the problem. Uninstalled it. Still have the problem with Firefox.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    How about if you right click on the PDF and select Save Link As..., and then open it locally from within Reader? Does it work ok then?  That might be a workaround until the issue within the browser is resolved.

  • How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??

    How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

  • Receive all emails once per day

    I have had my Blackberry for over 2 years now and have never had trouble receiving emails until last week.  Now I only get emails once per day......all of them come at once.  I haven't changed any settings - anybody have any suggestions.
    Thanks

    Hi
    The Blackberry is designed to be reset by removing the battery whilst the device is powered-on. Leave the battery out for a minute or 2.
    See if that resolves the problem. If not then more information will be needed before making suggestions. Please provide as much as you are able of the the following
    Blackberry Model.
    Carrier Name.
    Do you have a Data Plan?
    Operating System Version go to Menu > Options > About - it looks like v5.0.0.681
    Memory for Device and SD Card Options > Memory
    Any error statement or code.
    The Exact nature of problem - the more info the better.
    When this started and whether it started just after an update or new App download and which App/s theme/s download.

  • Firefox deleted ALL of my data (bookmarks,passwords,history, etc.) The data on my pc was also re-started somehow.

    After deleting three add-ons and refreshing firefox I realized that all my data (bookmarks,passwords,history, log-ins, everything) was deleted. I went to the help site and tried everything suggested. Nothing worked. The files that are supposed to have my old firefox data on my pc was also deleted. I'm at my wits end and at this point I'm getting tired of firefox.

    Well, it's pretty clear how we can make a backup with iTunes, but the backup is:
    1. closed and cryptic - no way to verify if it's valid or not
    2. must use iTunes to restore - if something bad happens with iTunes, the data is lost forever
    We need a way to ACCESS our personal data without using iTunes.
    As I said, iTunes is hideous, unintuitive and buggy.
    Unlike the iPhone, or any other Apple product, with iTunes It's not clear how to operate all the different menus and knobs and preferences. It is not clear what iTunes is actually doing behind all those menus and buttons and options.
    It's frustrating, and it is becoming a burden on the entire product.
    And the fact that I can't rescue my personal data from those iTunes backup files is annoying and bothering. I don't have the time to start hexediting those files, hoping for a miracle.
    Apple, I must say, with iTunes, you completely blew it.

  • How to delete a wrong password that Firefox always shows; I tried deleting cookies and profile, but it doesn't help.

    Firefox helps filling in forms (eg webmail inlog) but it also shows a wrong inlog (consisting of inlog name plus password). I want to remove wrong inlog names from Firefox. I already tried to remove all cookies for this site, and deleted the default profile from my Mac applications folder. But still several options for inlog on webmail are given. Where can I find the place where inlog suggestions are kept?

    *Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
    *Highlight an entry in the drop down list
    *Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.
    Firefox will remember new form data when entered.
