Firefox has been updated, and all my bookmarks are gone, but i have them on Firefox Home on my iPhone. What will happen if I sync in Firefox on my mac?

Will my bookmarks come back to Firefox on my mac? And how can I save the bookmarks on the mac, so this dosn't happen again.

Are the bookmark backups gone from the profile? I would try restoring them first before anything else. The profile for Firefox is in the Library for the user account. The easy way to find the profile is to click "Troubleshooting Information" in the Help menu and then click the button "Show in Finder". It is possible to backup bookmarks to another directory outside the profile from the Backup and Restore button in the toolbar in the bookmarks library window. That way you have a backup set of bookmarks you can restore even if the profile goes missing.

Upgraded to Firefox4 and all my bookmarks are gone, I have tried all the solutions listed under lost book marks can someone please help me.. I have seen people say they have solved this but never tell how.

As it says above I lost all my bookmarks after upgrading to Firefox 4.
I have tried all the solutions under the Lost Bookmark page and they either do not apply or did not work.
I even found a old backup and imported it and it did not work.
I have seen several people say they have the same problem and have fixed it but never say how.. Please help

I've encountered the same problem; I (reluctantly) upgraded Firefox after years of happily using version 2, and discovered that I should have, apparently, saved my bookmarks before updating.
There is NO "places.sqlite" file anywhere on my hard drive.
Following the procedure at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Lost+Bookmarks#Restoring_bookmark_backups restores the bookmarks folder saved *today*. . . after Firefox reverted to a *two year old file* and saved it over my existing one. (How do I know it's two years old? It has house search information from before my toddler's birth, that's how.)
There is no bookmarkbackups folder.
Searches across my hard drive for the following files turn up nothing useful:
* bookmarks.bak
* bookmarks.html
* bookmarks.html.moztmp
* bookmarks-(date).html
* bookmarks-(date).json
Oh, there *is* a bookmarks.html file that's larger than the 7/2 one that's been created; it is, however, from a transfer from IE bookmarks dated 2006.
None of the rest exit. Even searching for just the extension of .json turns up nothing.
I really, really want my bookmarks back, and I am not thrilled about this; I trusted Firefox not to screw up on an upgrade, and that's the only reason I didn't make a backup before installing. Silly me.

"Updated" Firefox and all my bookmarks are gone

I've already clicked on "show all bookmarks"-- but the library's empty. So I clicked on Import and Backup, and Restore the previous bookmarks to earlier today (and yesterday and the day before and...), and after being told this will replace the current list, I get a "unable to process backup file" dialogue box. I also can't find where it is on my C: drive (is it not saved under program files/mozilla firefox?). Where did they go, and how do I get them back? I can't lose them!!
I'm using Vista, Service Pack 2

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Not a problem but a query. Firefox has just updated and is showing euballot-1.1 but no mention of GB. what is euballot? why is it showing?

This is a query.
Firefox automatically updated.
When I look under update history it shows no update.
Under Help clicked on about to see what version. Still showing 3.6.13 but no mention of en-GB. Instead has Mozilla Firefox EU euballot-1.1
What is euballot?
Why no en-GB?

The update you got is the correct update, you will have the same version if you downloaded the full setup file.
The EU ballot relates to an agreement that Microsoft reached with the European Union so that Microsoft would comply with EU anti-trust laws. Microsoft historically had a dominance in the browser market as Windows has IE pre-installed. The agreement led to Microsoft creating a a "browser ballot" system which would see its users presented with a page advertising other browsers.
I believe Mozilla use the EU ballot downloads as a method of tracking how many additional installs occurred as a result of the agreement.

I updated Firefox and all my bookmarks are lost; how do I restore them?

I just updated Firefox to 8.0.1., and all my bookmarks are gone. NONE of the suggested articles dealt with this: How do I restore the bookmarks? And why wasn't I asked during the update if I would like to have the bookmarks imported? Also why wasn't I warned that I would lose them all? Thank you.

Use the following to see if you have more than one profile or your lost bookmarks
in the bookmarkbackups folder.
Type about:support into the location bar the click on "Open Containing Folder" that will take you to your current profile. The bookmarkbackups folder has 5 backups (.json files) any of which can be restored with Firefox up through restore bookmarks.
but if you created a new folder see ...next...
=========================================================
(continued...)
Lost passwords, bookmarks, is a profile issue. Sounds like you
created a new profile instead of using your existing profile.
Open your profile folder and go up one level to see if you have multiple profiles ...
:  HELP (Alt+H) --> Troubleshooting information... --> "Open Containing Folder" (or type about:support into the location bar then click on "Open Containing Folder")
:note the filename, then go up one level to see if you have additional profile folders.
Check the dates of places.sqlite (new in Fx3) for update date just before you went to Fx6 Since it is updated each time you close your session that would be a good place to check.
If you find one then note its filename (the profile name is part of the filename) and then start the Firefox Profile Manager and open with that profile.
To prevent the problem in the future don't let Firefox start up for you after downloading and installing a new version. Instead exit the install at that last point, and restart Firefox in your normal manner.

Whenever I opened Firefox Start Page, all my bookmarks were displayed on the left side. I accidently hit something, and now all my bookmarks are gone. Help.

Whenever I opened Firefox Start Page, all my bookmarks were displayed on the left side. I accidently hit something, and now all my bookmarks are gone.

Firefox has a Bookmarks Sidebar you can open and close using Ctrl+b. That's pretty easy to hit if you're trying to bold something, but if a website doesn't intercept it, then it affects your sidebar.
Was that it?

Is it possible to disable "whats new" page that shows up every time Firefox has been updated

Any time Firefox has been updated, there is a "What's new" tab. Firefox updates too often for this page to be interesting. Now it's just plain annoying.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to stop that page from loading.
EDIT: Found this after posting. May or may not work.
*http://hustlersworldwide.info/disable-firefox%E2%80%99s-what%E2%80%99s-new-page-after-updates/
The purpose of the page is to keep users informed. For example, do you know the reason(s) for the upgrades to versions 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 (also 3.6.21 and 3.6.22)? Many/most users do not.
Plus, one click to close the tab isn't too much effort, is it?

How do I get an iPod touch to turn on other than the normal way. It has been dropped and all I can get is a blank screen. Have tried holding the HOME button down for 30 sec. but that didn't work.

How does one get an iPod nano to turn on other than the "normal" way? This one has been dropped and all I can get is a blank screen. I have tried holding down the HOME button to restart it but no go. When I connect it to my computer, I am told to enter the PASSCODE which I cannot do as there is no touchpad.

David ..
Your topic refers to an iPod touch
Then you say: How does one get an iPod nano to turn on ......
If it's an iPod touch, try a reset.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, whether it's an iPod nano or touch, it probably needs service > Apple - Support - Service Answer Center

My apple id has been disabled and all my apple acct info has been changed to someone elses info, only my email address is the same

My apple id has been disabled and all my apple acct info has been changed to someone else's info. The only thing the same is my email address and now I can't download any music from itunes. Is Apple trying to extort money from us now by forcing us to pay to use their tech reps?

You are being phished. I suggest that you immediately change your Apple ID password as it might now be compromised. Never (and I mean never) follow a link in an unsolicited email. Go directly to the Apple website to handle this.

Ran software update and now all my bookmarks are gone.

I ran a software update and when I opened Safari I noticed all my bookmarks are gone. I located the Bookmarks.plist and it shows nothing of my old (2 1/2 years worth of) bookmarks in it. Is there any way I can get them back or am I toast?
Any help would be great.

You may be toast.
Do you have any backups of your system, or at least your user library file?
Have you used Spotlight to search your system? The installer via Software Update updates the app, however leaves the Safari folder in the User Library alone. If for some reason you moved this folder, a new one would be created when you started up Safari after the update.
Please post back.

I just used a firewire connection to transfer files from an older MAC to a newer MAC. My newer MAC has lost all that was on it, and all the applications are opening like they have never been used before and asking for Rosetta. Help!!!

I just used a firewire connection to transfer files from a PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro has lost all that was on it, and all the applications are opening like they have never been used before and asking for Rosetta. How do I find all my files on the MacBook Pro, or undo what I have done???

IGNORE the last post: he thought you are using Lion or Mountain Lion.
Since you are using Snow Leopard, you need to install Rosetta. It can be found on your Snow Leopard Install DVD in the Options section.
Once installed all should be well again.
Also, if your computer is connected to the internet when the Dialog Box about PowerPC applications comes up, it MIGHT allow you to download Rosetta from the internet. There has been some discussion that Apple has discontined internet download of Rosetta into Snow Leopard.
Someone else will have to address your lost files problem.

Hi, KK93.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router and Mac can resolve the issue. However, try the steps in the article below to troubleshoot the Wi-Fi issue with your MacBook.

Also, see the article below to make sure the router setting have been optimized for performance.
