Firefox 3 - bookmarks didn't transfer
I recently purchased a new MacBook and did a migration from my old iBook upon start-up (as suggested from the Apple site.) All my files seemed to transfer without a catch until I got to Firefox 3. No bookmarks. From what I can see they are on my drive I'm just not sure how to allow my browser to access them.
Any help?
Hello,
I'm not sure what you mean by ''regular file'' - how did you backup your bookmarks? If you exported bookmarks by following [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]], you should be able to [[Import Bookmarks from a HTML file]].
Note that bookmarks, browsing history and downloads are stored in the ''places.sqlite'' file. Please see [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] for more information if you copied your whole profile before clearing the hard drive.

Question
After "upgrading" to new firefox none of my bookmarks are in new bookmarks help topics tell me how to import from another browser but not from previous version of firefox. Another problem is my anti virus ( most up to date) is apparently not compatible with 4.0 liked the old firefox would never have "upgraded" had I known my anti virus wouldn't work. Can I get old version backCheck with Kaspersky as to what versions of Firefox their programs are compatible with. It is up to Kaspersky to keep their stuff up to date as Mozilla releases new versions of Firefox. And if they are unwilling or incapable of doing it, they should inform their customers of such and maybe refund their customers instead of stringing them along.

Firefox stores your personal data in the Firefox profile folder and that data is not affected by an uninstall and reinstall.

I accidently "x" off the download of firefox 4 before it had finished and now the home page doesn't work. it loads but then wont let me search from it? i tried redownloading firefox but that didn't work is there a way i can resume the previous download?
Your More system details list show that you run the latest Firefox 4.0.1 version.<br />
You can check that via Help > About Firefox and on the Help > Troubleshooting Information page.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.
See:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
If you posted from another computer then download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox. -

My old Vista computer died, but I had backup of my old Firefox .json bookmark files and installed this folder on my new window's 7 computer's desktop. But I can't seem to open these files (windows cant find a program to open them with, and I don't seem to have .json files in my file association list) or import them into the new computer's Firefox bookmarks list.
That's great, matthungo, I'm glad it worked and you've got your Bookmarks back. Wishing you and yours a wonderful and blessed Holiday season as well!

I bought a new mac and my music in itunes didn't transfer over from my old cpu. Most of it was put on with cd's I have. Can I transfer the music from my I-phone to itunes on my mac?
It sounds like there's something amiss with either your ID or the new system you're using. I've been using iTM on a Win7 and OSX SL system and have been able to upload and download to the Cloud on both. I've been using them interchangeably for the last week or so.
I would also recommennd giving Apple support a call, to see what they say. -

Some of my songs didn't transfer to my cloud. How do I put these songs on my iphone so that I can listen to them in addition to the songs that made it to my cloud?
Right now, I can't transfer songs from my laptop to my iPhone unless I turn off iTunes Match 1st. Once the songs are on there, I turn iTunes Match back on, but then the songs that I just transferred over dissapear...
Please help!I'm having the same problem, some of my songs will transfer but not all of them. It seems there are alot of people having this problem and apparently Apple doesn't know how to fix it. All my songs were purchased through itunes so they all should upload to any apple device. Sorry I'm not any help, maybe Apple can finally do something about it.

Subscribing to a page with Firefox Live Bookmarks launches Mac Mail?!
Can anyone PLEASE help me?! I'm going insane here. I just upgraded to Firefox 3, but the same thing was happening with Firefox 2. Any time I tried to subscribe to a page using Firefox Live Bookmarks (or do anything related to RSS feeds), my mac launches the Mail app and forces me to subscribe to the feed there. I don't even have Mail configured with any accounts anymore. Mail was set to use Firefox as the RSS reader, Safari is set to use Firefox as the RSS reader, and yet any time I click an RSS feed, it launches Mail. I've trashed my Mail preferences, but it keeps doing it!! What's going on here?! Please help, this is driving me crazy.
You might think the exact same thing happens, and that clicking an RSS link in Safari would simply launch mail and give me the same configuration screen (again, Mail is no longer configured on my computer so it always wants me to set up an account). But no! Trying to subscribe in Safari actually opens a new tab in Firefox, which loads a blank page for a few seconds, and THEN mail launches and tries to handle the RSS subscription.
I tried subscribing to a live bookmark in Firefox on a PC just to see what the behavior was supposed to look like, and saw that it loads a feedburner page with a preview of the feed, and at the top is an interface to decide what on your computer is supposed to handle feedburner feeds. I can either leave it set to Live Bookmarks, or choose any other application I want. I wonder if the same sort of thing is going on with the Mac? Somehow the Mail app got locked into being the default application for RSS feeds and I can't change it? I mean, obviously something like that is going on, I just don't know what to do about it.
I tried going into System Preferences - Default Apps to see if there was an RSS entry there, but when I try to run Default Apps, I get the message "You cannot open Default Apps preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac." Oh. -
When going through photo galleries on Yahoo (in news, omg, etc.) the caption is displayed on top of the bottom 'fifth' of the photo. (The caption should be below the entire photo.) The way the pations are overlayed makes it difficult to read the text of the caption and worse, it makes it almost impossible to see the lower fifth of the photo. I tried resetting Firefox but that didn't change anything. I can't find any yahoo settings or OS X display setting that changed this. I'm using Firefox 25 on a macbook air running OS X 10. Are there any firefox settings that would improve this? Thanks.
You can also try to reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" -

Can firefox show bookmarks list in alphabetical order like Internet Explorer?
I don't want to have to go to "show all bookmarks" then search for a bookmark. I want to just see the list and go down to the right one, or start typing it and go to it.
Hi
Easiest way to put your bookmarks in alphabetical order is to right click on a bookmark folder and you have the option to "Sort By Name".
Alternatively, have a look at this list of bookmark related addons ([https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/bookmarks/ link]).
Hope this helps, please come back here if you need any further assistance. -
Playlist didn't transfer after Home Sharin!!
Hi there! Just bought a new compute and set up the home sharing between the two computers. I see all of the songs but the playlists didn't transfer. I tried going to file, library, import playlist like another post said but it wants me to find the file on my computer. I have no idea how to get the file from one computer to the other so is there an easy way of moving the playlists without copying files from the other one?
Too if anyone know the quickest way to get this all done from scratch on the ipad mini, you get rockstar points!!First on the original computer, find your "iTunes Music Library.xml" file. See the following document for instructions on where to find it (note that it's the .xml file you're looking for):
iTunes: What are the iTunes library files?
Transfer a copy of that file across to the new computer. (Via email or thumb drive, etc.)
Launch iTunes on the new PC and import the iTunes Music Library.xml file from the old PC. To do that on iTunes for Windows, you go "File > Library > Import Playlist" as per the following screenshot:
Browse to the location of the iTunes Music Library.xml file from the other computer, select it and then open it. -
