Firefox will not let me back up bookmarks worked earlier in April but not now

My bookmarks will not save. I try backing up in downloads section for Windows 8.1 Update 1 and desktop section but nothing. just wont save. Worked back on April 24. Recently I just updated my Adobe applications and Adobe Edge Code CC took over the default file. Maybe that is causing it? I dont remember what the original file was but image was white. Is it notepad or wordpad? Those are the 2 other programs show when I hover over open with after right clicking a prior back up. Anyone know a fix or if this is widespread bug? If its one of those 2 programs and I just have to change back can someone tell me? Any help would be great.

What steps are you following to create the backup -- is it the method described in this article: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]?
If Windows is not showing the full names of some Firefox files, for example, if it is hiding extensions such as .js and .json, please switch the Windows setting so you can identify the files as accurately as possible. These Microsoft support articles has some different approaches (you probably need to use the "Desktop" side of Windows 8.1 for this):

  • Firefox will not let me bookmark anything. Bookmarks don't show in "organize bookmarks."

    In the last few months Firefox will not bookmark anything. I click "bookmark this page" but nothing happens and the page does not show up in my bookmarks window. There are also a lot of bookmarks not in folders that do not show up when I click "organize bookmarks" so I can't move them to folders or delete them. But they do show up on my bookmarks list when I click "Bookmarks" in the menu. I'm on a Mac, OS 10.4.11 and simply let Firefox update itself whenever it wants. Seems some of the latest updates have rendered my bookmarks ability null.

    Well, I followed the instructions in the second link ... now I have no bookmarks at all. And Firefox is unable to process my request to restore my bookmarks from the desktop backup file I created. Any other suggestions? I really need my bookmarks.

  • I have to tell Firefox that I am logging in from "home" every time I log into Facebook. Firefox will not let me unclick ""Send me an email" under Login Notifications in Facebook "My Account" settings. Why? (to both questions)

    I have to tell Firefox that I am logging in from "home" every time I log into Facebook. Firefox will not let me unclick ""Send me an email" under Login Notifications in Facebook "My Account" settings. Why? (to both questions)

    It started last week - I normally use Chrome to play my games in Facebook - but I started getting "Sorry, this feature isn't available
    right now"..... When I used IE..... no problem - a friend said to install Foxfire, which I did, but I made the mistake of having my bookmarks and whatever transferred from Google as it is the browser I used most often and it has all my bookmarks, but
    now it does the same thing when I try to log into Facebook. - I have no problem with any other website.  I deleted both Google and Foxfire and tried to start over - I cleared History and checked all the boxes hoping that this would help - but it did not.
     I can't understand why I can get in with IE, but not Google or Foxfire.  Do you have any suggestions.......
    On Friday, it started working again - and everything was fine.  But on Sunday evening I ran the History Clean in Google and when
    I went to log back in, I couldn't and got the same "Sorry" message and has stayed this way since. 
    I ran a Norton scan of the entire computer, a Hitman scan, a CCleaner scan, ...  all to no avail. Problem still exists.
    I tried to run a restore program prior to the problem, but I am getting error messages like mad.
    there has been two Windows Updates in this time frame and I don't know if this has anything to do with it or not - but my Restore program does not work.
    NYCsDancer -- if its working via Internet Explorer, we can't help you much. Most of the time it has to do with Cookies, or your Java Version. I'd reach out to Google's forums for assistance with Chrome

    or Firefox support for assistance with Firefox

  • Firefox will not let me get on any websites (safe AND not safe), claiming that it "may pose a security threat to your system"; when I try to choose the "proceed unprotected" option, it won't let me.

    My computer's anti-virus software recently expired. A few days later, I went to download a new anti-virus software . . . when I opened up Firefox, I received a warning that claimed Firefox was infected with "Trojan-BNK.Win32.Keylogger.gen", and gave me two options: "Activate XP Security 2011 (recommended)" (this was a $60 charge and required credit card info) or "Continue unprotected (Dangerous)"
    Since I needed to install new anti-virus, I figured I would continue unprotected, download my new software quickly, and remove the virus. But when Firefox opened, it gave me a message saying: "Firefox alert. Visiting this site may pose a security threat to your system!". Gave me three options:
    1. "Get a copy of 'XP Security 2011' to safeguard your PC while surfing the web (RECOMMENDED)"
    2. "Run a spyware, virus and malware scan" (I already did this)
    3. "Continue surfing without any security measures (DANGEROUS)"
    I tried clicking on different links, but the same warning kept showing up, even on verified and safe sites. I tried to choose the third option so that I could download my anti-virus software quickly, but nothing happened when I clicked on it - the page reloads and the warning shows up again.
    My computer is still without anti-virus software because Firefox will not let me surf the internet. Please help!

    It sounds as though your PC is infected with fake antivirus software. The detailed cleanup instructions vary depending on which fake AV you have. However, as a first step, try this:
    Download the following on a different PC, copy them to a USB flash drive or CD, and then run them on the infected PC:
    Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
    SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/
    Hopefully these will get you back online safely. If not, search for clean-up instructions for the specific malware.

  • The address bar in firefox will not let me use down arrow in menu boxes on any website or in the url bar

    The address bar in firefox will not let me use down arrow in menu boxes or in the url bar. Usually if I click on the down arrow in the url bar, my most common websites pop up... now it won't show me them...
    It is also happening in any website I use via Fire fox. I don't have this problem with windows or Internet Explorer. Even the down arrow box below this.. asking "this happened" won't let me see the choices.. it just flashes by.

    Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing": Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History,Bookmarks,History and Bookmarks

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, 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.

  • When I email photos from my iphone, firefox will not let me open them in yahoo.mail as jpeg images, only firefox documents

    when I email photos from my iphone, firefox will not let me open them in yahoo.mail as jpeg images, only firefox documents

    Two weeks ago I posted this, but no one replied telling me how to correct the problem.
    I think Firefox engineers need to improve Firefox between now and the next up-date to make it adequate to handle all major websites. There aren't many websites used by as many people as yahoo. So why have Firefox engineers ignored this deficiency in Firefox?

  • FireFox will not load facebook Or my games homepage and many other sites. It wont even let me clear the history like one artical said, But internetexplorerwill.

    Firefox will not load Facebook.com, OR any of my gaming homepages. An artical Told em to clear history but it frezzes right in the middle. When i click on facebook itll Go to it And stop At "transfering data from (many diff things each time) And it frezzes, I ahve to open up task manager to get rid of it. Please help! it does this with many other sites also. This also started happening right after i came back with my computer from my grandmas.

    You could try the new Reset feature. This duplicates certain key data from your active settings folder into a new one, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. Your plugins will still be active, but could be disabled manually if you like.
    More information in this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
    If the new settings folder has the same problem, you can switch back to your current folder, if you like, using Firefox's Profile Manager. (See [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]] -- don't delete anything just yet; use this dialog to switch back and forth as needed.)
    Does it work better after a reset?
