Firefox crashes for unknown reason lately, so I removed it and reinstalled it. How can I put my Favorites (bookmarks) back into the newly installed FireFox???
Firefox crashes a few times when I was on Facebook and with email, also watching dramas online. Most of the time due to Adobe Flash and I did submit crash report. Later it crashes for unknown reason while I have email and Facebook on different tabs -- when I was on the tab of email, it looks system hang and not responding. This happened to my laptop that uses Windows Vista as I noticed. I don't remember it ever happens to my desktop that uses Windows XP.
It's pretty annoying of such known crash, but before removing Firefox, I did try to update all add-ons or plugins and it looks like doesn't work out. After updating for couple times and it still crashed like that, I removed Firefox and reinstall it.
'''Now I want to know how to put the shortcuts from my Favorite folder into the newly installed FireFox's bookmarks.''' I didn't backup the bookmarks by using Firefox. I even went to Firefox help for instructions, but it only mentions how to merge/input the bookmarks from other browsers. Please note the version I've removed and inrestalled is the same -- 3.6.13.
It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Maverick is a mess, well up to MS at its best. i installed it over Mountain Lion on a base Air that initially came with Lion. The worst is when the screen suddenly goes blank. After a few times, i found tha tsimpy pressing the power button brought up the welcome screen which - after the password - took me back to where I was with no loss, bu tthe first time was horrible. Then WORD for MAC started behaving strangely, with normal operations simply not working - shading to copy or cut out, for instance. Click again and again, no shading - then suddenly it workds! Safari has similar issues. So too with other software downladed earlier. simply nothing works as well as all did under Mountain Lion.
So, I want to deep six Maverick and get back to Mountain Lion. I assume that if I use CONTROL R I will simply reload Maverick. Can I download Mountain Lion from the App Store and then ??? All the copying and such - a half day lost. Is there are easier way?
<Edited by Host>It's Command-R, not Control-R. You won't lose your files or settings if you reinstall 10.9 this way. Why don't you give that a go before reverting to 10.8.

How do I move ALL my music in iTunes back to its original space on my desktop. I have music on my desktop, music on an external hard drive and some saved on a flash. I cannot backup my music because I cannot locate it. I have 4 separate music libraries (same songs) but don't know where to begin to get my music and libraries back in order. CAN SOMEONE SHOW ME THE WAY HOME?
Hi there old45,
You may find the information in the article below helpful.
iTunes 11 for Windows: Change where your iTunes files are stored
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12365
Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”
Locate your iTunes files
Do either of the following:
Find out where a file is stored: Select the item in iTunes, and choose File > Get Info. The path to the file is shown at the bottom of the Summary pane (next to Where).
Show the file in Windows Explorer: Select the song, and choose File > Show in Explorer.

I have been using the Adobe Flash Player 14 ActiveX with IE/Bing and Google, but I keep getting the request to install Adobe Flash Player 14 ActiveX plugins on the newly installed Firefox/Mozilla when browsing on certain sites. Why?

I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features of those two? I just want to add a feature. Thanks
Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.

i changed the id and password for iTunes and app store. login fine for tunes. app store downloads id is incorrect and grayed out. how can i enter correct id?
Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID. -

I just purchased an HP laptop. It has Windows 8 installed on it. Ever since getting Firefox installed (with no add ons) I have been having problems. Firefox starts fine, loads fine, works fine. But then there are times when it will crash over and over again for no reason at all. Google.com is my homepage and sometimes it crashes on that.
I don't go to many pages, facebook is the main one and it crashes almost constantly now. This is the longest I've been online in 2 days.Hello katielawrence, We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Enter about:crashes in the Firefox location bar (that's where you enter your website names) and press Enter. You should now see a list of submitted crash reports.
#Copy the most recent 5 report IDs that you see in the crash report window and paste them into your forum response.
Thanks in advance for your help! -
Firefox crashes for no reason when there is a tab open for MSN.
I use MSN as the first tab on my browser. I can open the browser and work on multiple tabs. But when I leave the browser open for several hours, it's started to crash. I've checked each of my tabs and the only time it crashes is when there is a tab for MSN open. In fact, I closed all the tabs except MSN and the browser crashed.
Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you. -
How can I get my original bookmarks back after accidentely syncing with a new Firefox installation?
I've installed Firefox sync on a new netbook running Ubuntu and it worked at first, it synced my bookmarks from my PC to the netbook with no problems.
However yesterday it decided to sync the original bookmarks on the netbook with my PC and now I've lost all of my original 100+ bookmarks, they still appear in the URL bar when I type in the keywords for a particular bookmark but not in the bookmarks menu.
How can I stop Firefox sync from repressing my actual bookmarks? How can I return the situation to how it was before using this addon?See [[Replace your Sync information]] but read the cautions carefully.
* also see [[firefox Sync is not working]]
It is always a useful precaution to make manual bookmarks backups
* see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
The above article also explains about the autobookmark backups that firefox generates, but be sure to make manual backups as you work, it is very easy to overwrite the wrong set of backups.
I am not entirely certain what firefox is doing in your case, perhaps the synced Netbook does not have the expected set of bookmarks on it.
Presumably sync may be uninstalled or disabled like any other add-on

Don't know what else to add. I always use Firefox. My husband refuses to. I have a shortcut for him to get to the internet, and it always came up to via IE. Now, I somehow accidentally changed the default browser to Firefox, so when using that shortcut, it takes him to the Firefox browser instead of IE. He is furious! How can I change it back?
You can make IE the default browser, that will reset some registry keys<br />
Control Panel > Internet Options: Programs<br />
Put a check in the box next to 'Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser'<br />
Start IE and let IE make itself the default browser.
Check the default settings in:<br />
Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > "Set Program Access And Defaults" (on the left)<br />
Open: Custom (click arrow on the right)<br />
Select "Internet Explorer" under "Choose a default Web Browser"<br />
Click OK -
I upgraded to 6.0 - I unistalled firefox and reinstalled twice.
still get the same error message.
Thanks
JimI have tried all of the suggestions, also removed every reference to Firefox in the registry, no joy, still comes up with the error, does load if run as administrator, this is not satisfactory though, its ok if I am starting Firefox but no good if it tries to start automatically such as clicking a link in an email.
Therefore until this problem is sorted my default will stay as Chrome!!!!!!! -
How can I get my old bookmarks back after I downloaded a fresh copy of Firefox?
While I was at work, my wife downloaded what she thought was an update to our current Firefox App. Turns out it was a "fresh version." How can I get my history and bookmarks back? Do I still have the old version (the most recent version before the download of the Fresh Version) on my computer somewhere?
Hi, please have a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data this article] which should help you to restore your bookmarks etc.

Okay, so I did the entire Migrate Assistant process to transfer all my files and what not to my MacBook. Problem is that I did it on seperate occasions and now I have several accounts.
How can I transfer my files from the other accounts to my primary account and delete the other accounts?Problem is that I did it on seperate occasions and now I have several accounts.
If you had read carefully, Migration Assistant asks what you want to do in this event. That would have precluded the redundancy.
Part of the fundamental design of OS X is to separate user accounts so that one user can't interfere with another. It's not possible to directly merge an account with another, but you can copy whatever you need to the Shared folder - it is in your Users folder.
Log in to one account, prefereably a smaller one, and drag the files and folders into Shared. Log out, log into the account you want to be "primary" and drag the files from Shared into their appropriate locations. When you have copied everything you need delete the redundant account.
Do this for each of them.
Or, you can just run Migration Assistant again and follow the prompts that address the situation you described. It involves creating a secondary, temporary account from which you can administer the transfer. When it is complete you delete the temporary account(s).
