Firefox history not working after restoring profile from backup

Hi,
My Firefox profile was inadvertently deleted when I uninstalled Waterfox. I had a backup of all profile data from the day before, and restored that. Am running Windows 7, so restored Users > Username > AppData > Local > Mozilla and Users > Username > AppData > Roaming > Mozilla.
Since the restore, Firefox history no longer works - all past history is gone, and worse, no history of new browsing is created. Cookies and saved passwords were restored and are working correctly.
Any idea on how I can get Firefox history to work again?
Thanks!

Sounds that the copy of places.sqlite that you restored is corrupted.

Jquery content not working after the updates from firefox

Hi, i've realized that some of my website's banner is not working after the recent updates from firefox, whereas those website's banner is working in google chrome.
Hope there is a solution for this as i'm using the firefox for years and wish this issues can be settle.
The banner URL is http://www.irs.com.my/slider/index.html

SlideDeck has a post on how to resolve this error, caused by a bug in this very old version of their library that you're using. See: [http://www.slidedeck.com/blog/firefox-20-update-and-slidedeck-js-weve-got-you-covered/ Firefox 20 update and SlideDeck.js – we’ve got you covered] for more information. As a Pro customer, you were supposed to get an email notice, but... here you are.
I studied the script before discovering that and found two issues, but there might be more:
(1) slidedeck.jquery.js detects Firefox 20 as Firefox 2 and halts. Note that this regex is the problem:
firefox2:F.match(/firefox\/2/)?true:false
(2) Starting in Firefox 16, the -moz-transform property was unprefixed, that is, you need to use transform for Firefox 16 and later.

Firefox will not start after I upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu 10.04.

I was using Firefox without issue on Ubuntu 8.04. I then upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04. Firefox would not start after upgrade. Message said it was already running!
I checked the System Monitor and saw it was "sleeping". I ended process. Firefox then would start, however..... I always have to go into System Monitor before I start Firefox to stop it from running (sleeping) even if I already just quit the program or after a fresh reboot.
I do not use a firewall or virus program.
My router has some sort of firewall hardware, and it is the same router I used with 8.04 with no problem.
What is going on? Why is the program sleeping when I try to start it. Why do I always get the message that it is already running (and I have to shut it down) before I can start it.
It is either a Ubuntu problem or a Firefox problem.
Sonny.

TX2500Z touchscreen does not work after Windows7 upgrade from HP specific to S/N, etc on laptop.

My TX2500Z touchscreen does not work after I upgraded to Windows 7. I cannot find any support or drivers, etc. to fix. I bought Windows 7 directly from HP specific to my P/N and S/N on my TX2500Z. Any help? Thanks.

after 2,5 days (spending half a day within the apple shop as well with this problem) i have it all back on track.
i did a lot of different things: trying to remove and reinstall iPhoto; did a SL installation over the old SL I had on my HD; backing up all the data of course before and reformatting my HD and installing a new clean SL version on it + a new clean version of iLife9 with all the updates and than I migrate with migrate assistant all the data and setting with time machine back onto it, but all this didn't work, because it also migrated the error/bug through time machine with it.
so at the end i just installed a brand new, clean SL version on my hard drive, than I did the updates and put all my data, photos, docs, movies, mail, bookmarks, music, etc manual back into the system (drag and drop from my external HD, where i had an exact copy of my internal HD) and did all the settings again in all the different programs.
the only thing i used migrant assistant with time machine for was for the programs. it seems to work now all fine and i even got more free space on my HD, because some of the old stuff i always carried with me but i never used, i didn't take over.
basically everything is clean now. At least i hope and works fine. touch wood!

WiFi Not Working After Restore

The WiFi Is Not Working After I Restored My 1st Gen. iPod Touch
*PLEASE HELP!*

luvlabs,
Thanks for attempting to assist in this. Unfortunately the networks around me are not even being seen by my ipod touch. I of course, to answer the dumb question you asked macpolymer, have my wifi settings turned to on. I will attempt the restore/reset again, but I have done that about 3 or 4 times now, can't recall exactly, with exactly the same result.
I need to have this resolved, otherwise I am stuck, as I have lost my receipt for Best Buy.

Profile manager not work after restore

Dear All,
I am facing problem on my mac mini server.

after i complete the restore process and try to use profile manager to send the app to enrolled ipad .
It doesn't work.
anythings i should do after restored the server in order to make it work?
Thanks

essandess,
Can you look for errors in the /Library/Logs/ProfileManager/migration_tool.log file? Paste any errors you see from the date/time of the upgrade in here.
If you see "cannot drop function dm_current_timestamp()" in the error, then the solution is posted here:

Super drive is not working after Restoring from Time Machine

well its pretty much the Subject actually, my imac giving me BlueScreen problem so i searched and posted question and the only Solution i got was to Re-install Leopard and i did that by using Leopard DVD and Restored my imac from Time Machine backup, But i got into new problem and now the TIME after restoring from the "Time Machine" my DVD ejecting EVERY CD,DVD etc. even the Leopard DVD which he reads happily.
I dont think its a hardware fault at all, but i'm not a "Genious". Any suggestion!

Issue solved with visit to Genius Bar.
As I understand it here are the steps the Genius did. Attempt to create the account (system preferences->users) with the same information. It will say it already exists. Very carefully read the options. One will say use the existing account. BE CAREFUL because one option will wipe your data.
If you need to do this it might be worth the trip to the Genius Bar as you could wipe your data. One precaution I took was to bring a full copy of that user account onto my desktop (from the backup immediately before the wipe) in addition to the one in the user folder. Once we verified that the account was working I moved the desktop copy to the trash and again verified the account (just to be safe).
Hope this helps someone else.

Keyboard not working after restoring windows 7 from windows 10

Last Friday (7/31/15), I upgraded Windows 10 on my Sony laptop from Windows 7 Home Premiums. My Windows 7 worked fine before the upgrade. After upgrading to Windows 10, I had experienced issues with my Outlook mails (send/receive errors) and other apps (iTunes did not run, Google Chromes did not run, etc.) that I had under Windows 7. With Windows 10, I did not see my iPad or iPhone when trying to connect to my laptop, either.
With these issues/problems, I decided to restore back to Windows 7 (8/4/15). Windows 7 was restored on my laptop, and I am able to see my familiar screen, but my keys are frozen! I tried to navigate by clicking my mouse or hitting any key on my laptop, but nothing happens. I tried to reboot my laptop with different ways below, hoping to resolve the frozen keys but still did not work.
Turn off my laptop and open in "safe mode", "safe mode with network", "safe mode with command", and "start windows normally". (tried many times)Remove the laptop battery, let it sit for 1 - 5 minutes, put back the battery, and turn on the laptop. (tried many times) Please help!!!!! I haven't been able to use my laptop since the upgrade to Windows 10 (July 31, 2015) and restore to Windows 7 (August 4, 2015).

Sounds like you've done everything right. Delete the prefs again, following the instructions here: Replace Your Preferences
If that doesn't work, take another look at what else is running and turn off stuff that you don't need to see if there's a conflict, and wait to see if Bob pops in.
As a last resort, uninstall again, then run the clean script befor you reinstall: Run the CS4 Clean Script
This was a clean install of Win 7, not an inplace upgrade over Vista, right? The upgrades are known to be iffy, so if that's what you did, think about doing a clean install instead.

Sony bridge for mac RESTORE phone not working after exchange xperia from Sony

Hi everyone,I have been sent an exchange unit from Sony to replace my previous xperia zThis phone has an older imei number than mine and wont allow me to restore using the Sony Bridge for Mac softwareIs this because of the different imei number???i have lots of notes, messages stored in a previous backup using the Sony bridge for mac softwareWhich i need to retrieve onto the "second hand Marked and scratched exchange unit" which Sony have sent me DOES anyone have a sollution to this please Thanks in advance... Steve

Hi Echo_steve Unfortunately, as I expected, you're not able to restore to another phone. However, there is one possible solution, but there is no guarantee it will work and it might mess things upp so you'll have to do it on your own risk. I'm afraid that's the best I can do for now. Here's how to work around the restore block. Again, use this with caution as there's no guarantee it will work. Also make sure Bridge isn't running when you attempt this:- Do a backup of the new phone
- goto ~/Library/Application Support/Sony Ericsson Bridge for Mac/
- Go to the "Backups" folder and find the backup sets
- Try to locate the old backup folder and rename it to the name of the new backup.This can be quite tricky, as the folders are named things like "CB5A1JYXNQ". But basically, if the backup set of the old phone is named "ABCDEF01" and the backup set of the new phone is "ABCDEF02", it should be enough to remove (or rename) the new backup set and rename the old one to "ABCDEF02".
Again, I'm sorry there's no easy fix. Please let me know if it works for you. Best Regards, David

Did you try a new profile?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 23: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*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.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

Firefox does not work after update to 3.6.6 (and all later revisions)

(EDIT: I found the exact revision from which the Firefox is not starting, it is 3.6.6 so I changed them throughout this post, previous revision value was 3.6.8)
I am using Windows 7 x64
After Firefox recently updated to 3.6.6 it does not work any more. The application is listed in task manager but it does not do anything. There is no user interface or anything. Only way to interact with it is "End process". Starting in safe mode or starting Profile manager is not possible.
I tried all possible and suggested solutions in mozilla KB, this and other forums but without success (windows safe mode, firefox safe mode, renaming firefox, waiting, checking for firewall or malware/virus issues, deleting profile, uninstall, clean reinstall and every possible combination of those that I could think of). Always the same result, no error message, firefox shown in task manager and that's it.
When I do clean install of all later firefox revisions starting from 3.6.6 the problem remains, including latest Firefox 4 beta6.
I have no issues with any firefox versions on my Vista laptop, so I would guess that something in my windows environment is not suitable for newer versions of firefox.
As I cannot find official older 3.6.x revision of Firefox, I am currently using 3.5.13 and it works flawlessly.
Any help is appreciated, I ran out of ideas.

You can try a direct connection and select No Proxy in the connection settings.
You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"
Also do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Firefox is not working after upgade to vesion 4

I have Windows XP installed on my PC toshiba satelit 200 serie,
I use french version firefox, After instalation of the new fiefox 4 it's not working (but Googole Chrome and IE are O.K.)

did you really get the phone into the dfu mode? The phone must be off to get it into this mode. So just switch off normally if possible. Then hold down the home button and connect to the usb cable and don't release the button until the "Connect to itunes" symbol appears on the screen. You should then be able to restore your phone. In case you cant switch off the phone try the following first (resetting and turning off)
Hold the sleep/reset + home button until the "apple" appears twice and the screen goes black. Make sure the phone does not reboot ! If it reboots try again

Time Machine not working after Restore.

Yesterday, for reasons I could not ascertain, OS X died on me. After much fannying about, I put in my Leopard install disc and restored the OS from a Time Machine backup. No problems at all. Good job Apple. Apart from a few stray emails, everything worked as far as I could tell.
Except, Time Machine no longer works. Backups are failing and I'm not sure why… can anyone help?

I am experiencing exactly the same thing after restoring my hard drive from a Time Machine backup. I checked my backup log and I got the following messages:
