Firefox will not import my old bookmarks, and does not make new ones.

I have recently installed windows 7 and then offcourse Firefox. I have been using Mozilla for more than 16 years. But now I am thinking of switching.
I cannot import my old bookmarks, there is not troubleshooting information, nothing happenes.
When I am making a new bookmark, it does only appear in the recently box, but not in the new sections I try to make.

Are you trying to import your bookmarks from a JSON file or an HTML file? Try opening this file with Notepad and make sure it actually contains bookmarks.
If the file is valid and is not importing, the problem may be that your bookmarks file is locked or corrupted. To fix this problem, follow the steps at [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#Places_database_file]

The firefox will not open new windows

My firefox will not open new windows. It opens new tabs. The problem is in the windows.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
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
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser. Anyone know how to fix this?

Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser or usinf ctrl + t. Anyone know how to fix this?

I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

I want to know how much would it cost me to change the plug of my 4S headphones because it doesn't work and do you take old devices and give me a new one?

No. That's not what I said. You can get an out of warranty replacement, which will be exactly the same model, color, and will be locked in exactly the same way the original is. If you want an iPhone 5, get the 4S replaced, sell it, and use the money to put toward a new phone.

Imovie, i can't see my project files and events, and won't make new ones!?

When opening imovie (11) i cant see eny off my events or project files and i cant make new ones or import files. But i still se my events and project if i go to User-Film-Imovie Projects/Events...!?

I've been having problems along the lines of most of these people as I have been trying to move iMovie files from one computer to another. I then put them on a USB drive, only to find out that it wouldn't work, according to the documentation. We then bought another Firewire drive, and formatted it as forum notes indicated, HDF. It didn't work correctly for file transfer in FAT32. Then when the files were put on the new drive via command line file copying program called rsync.
I still couldn't get it to sync up on the new drive, but they were there. The answer turned out to be a few things found in much older posts, so I thought I'd post them here in case it is helpful to others.
I'm now using iMovie11, but some of these were written for 08.
*1. The files have to be in the two directories, Events and Projects. These have to be at the *top level of the hard drive*. If they are at a lower level, iMovie won't find them*. I had put them in another folder called Movies, but it can't find them there.
2. Throw out the preference file, if necessary, as noted in several of the online posts. I'm not sure if that mattered or not, but did it, as well as restarted iMovie and the newly added projects and events finally showed up.
3. Copy files to the events or project folder while holding down the command key.
It now looks like there is a little bit of an issue with the syncing of the project data and the movie, but so far, it seems to be o.k., other than that.

Firefox will not open new web pages.

When I open firefox it goes to the firefox default page with one blank new tab. New tabs will open with blank page but Firefox will not go to any new sites just stays on blank pages. I have already tried starting in safe mode, creating a new profile, and un-installing and re-installing and the problem persists.
It is not blocked by either my firewall or antivirus program.
This all seems to have started after an automatic update made by Firefox.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Firefox will only open once from desktop and won't open new tabs or windows

When I clicked on Firefox's desktop icon this morning it took a solid 5 minutes for the browser window to open, and at that time I just chalked it up to my computer being slow.
Once it did open I soon encountered the first problem: when I clicked on "Open Link in New Window" or "Open Link in New Tab" nothing happened. Subsequently, when I did navigate to a website I was unable to click on any links whatsoever. I closed the window and tried to restart Firefox which is when I ran into the second problem: it wouldn't open. I opened the Task Manager and terminated firefox.exe, attempted to open via both the desktop icon and program folder but had no luck. If I restart my computer I'm able to open just the one browser window but with the same results of the first issue I mentioned.
I've tried all of Mozilla's troubleshooting tips in the "Firefox will not start" section with no luck. I've also uninstalled then reinstalled with no luck.

You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode.

See:

If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox will not open new 'tabs', not sure if its disabled, but does anyone know how to enable the use of my tabs?

Firefox will not open any tabs on my browser. I've tried using all alternatives to open a new tab - using the 'plus' (+) button doesn't work, 'control + T' doesn't work, going to File and clicking 'new tab' doesn't work either? Help please!

Your suggestion worked! Thanks!

I deleted itunes from my old comp and downloaded to my new one but wont let me sync it without wiping it ?

I recently bought me a new laptop. So I deleted my Itunes from my old computer and downloaded it to this one. Now when I try to hook it up to this comp it says"that it can only be linked to one computer at a time"? Now how do I get it not to erase all my songs and link to my laptop?

What are you trying to hook up to your computer?
So if I deleted it from my old computer there is no way I can put it on my new computer?
Put it on from where?

Firefox will not open new window, Why?

I have Vista home base premium operating system. I am a regular user of Mozilla firefox after had lots of positive feedback as one of the best browser. I had no problem for a good while, until recently I found out my add-on firebug stop working. Then I noticed that firefox stopped working properly, ie; it will no more open new window/s. One window will open after rebooting and i can have a number of tabs opened. When I right click on a web link and take the option to open it in a new window it will not open. When I take the option to open it in a new tab then that would be ok. When I go to the toolbar and click on File and chose option "open new window" again it will not open. I have on many accasions completely installed Firefox using the IObit software and use the advance system care to clean the registry and completely scan the system. I then reinstalled the latest version of Mozilla Firefox. I did that twice. The problem is still there. About the ad-on firebug, when I go to the toolbar and click on Tools, i can see Firebug with the extended arrow, but when I click on the arrow to the extended options, it simply would not respond.
There must something going on, please help.

Firefox will not start; new profile fixes it for 1 time, then 2nd time its back to broken

Windows 7 x64, ff3.6.8
ff3 will not run, clicking on .exe will not begin any app in taskmanager. the most i get is when clicking ff3 from the taskbar in win7 it will flash as if it is trying to do something, but nothing happens and the flashing stops.
uninstalled ff3.6.5; reinstalled 3.6.8, still same issue.
i created a new profile and started ff3, ff3 started & i got to a generic home page. i closed ff3, copied my bookmark file from the default profile to the new profile, restarted ff3, same problem as in the beginning.
i created a new profile & again it starts up, but when i close out, even without copying the bookmarks over (i was assuming that was the corrupted file), it will not run the 2nd time.
i have done this for 7 profiles and all of them work the first time, but none will work after that even without copying any profile information from the original default profile.
in addition i cut all the profiles out of the profile folder and cc'd to another location on another drive thinking that'd prevent the default from corrupting the other files, nothing.
brief history(sorry for the long post)
I ran a windows update prior to leaving on vacation, shut the PC down & when I came back the pc wouldnt boot. reset my bios to default and finally got back into windows & it finished the update.
when i got back in, ff3 was giving me problems and kept hanging up for some reason. so i hard reset & tried to implement my OC profile in bios. i was not able to get back into windows w/ my OC profile again, so i again went back to default bios.
ever since then ff3 will not work. ie8 works fine, no viruses reported thru mse, i cant figure it out!
any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

well i kinda fixed it i spose...
i deleted everything in appdata under mozilla & macromedia and deleted the plugins folder from my installation folder for ff3. uninstalled ff3, reinstalled ff3. now everything works fine. just have to redo my bookmarks & settings.
sorry to waste anyone's time...but hopefully if someone else has the problem, now they can fix it. peace.

My calendar has stopped storing or showing events I add. All of my appts/ birthdays/to do items have disappeared and it will not add new ones

My items will not post to my iphone and other events have disappeared What is going on?

Check icloud.com to see if your calendar events are still there. If they are, add any missing ones from your phone, then go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then turn Calendars back on. Then try adding a new event on your phone and see if it appears on icloud.com now.

I have transferred itunes and library using home sharing. How do I 'turn off' the old computer and just use the new one? home sharing requires both to be on at the moment.

I have transferred my itunes content and playlists to a new computer using home sharing. Now I want to use my new computer only, so need to 'turn off' the old one. What do i do?

Hello shiv99,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have used Home Sharing to play the music from one computer on another, but now you would like to only use the new computer. It sounds as though you have set up the content to share between computers, but have not actually I’m ported the media from the old computer to the new one. I would suggest following the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article to import you music from the old computer to the new one. After that process is complete, you can turn off Home Sharing if you would like and the content will be in the iTunes library on your new computer.

Have a great day,

How do I unlink my iPod from my old laptop and link it to new one without wiping all the tracks off it

How do I unlink my iPod from my old laptop (Vista) and link it to my new laptop (Windows 7) with deleting all the songs?

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
