Fox Tab - half of my saved sites vanished when I edited it. How can I get them back?

Over half of my saved sites vanished from Fox Tab and I would like to get them back.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== I click on edit fox tab, but didn't change anything

You may not have a backup of those files, then. Have you checked for backup according to this knowledge base article:

I foolishly removed the firefox toolbar ( meaning I have no file,view, edit, bookmark, or any other kind of tab including the search box or even a address bar). How can I get them back without reinstalling firefox please?

Hi, I wanted more room to view on the web, so I thought I'd get rid of some of the toolbars that were taking up space. I went to the edit tab (i think) and then selected toolbars and then just unticked the ones I wanted to lose.Worked like a charm...
Only problem was that I unticked the wrong one. Now I can't search on the web or enter a url as there is nothing there anymore. Any I do mean NOTHING expect my roboform toolbar and the "Getting Started" Firefox tab just above that.
Reason I stressed the "nothing" is because I went on yahoo answers and someone just said...go to edit and...He obviously didn't get that I don't have any kind of firefox tabs left on my browser ( except for the "getting started" tab)
I don't want to uninstall and reinstall as I'm worried I'll lose my bookmarked pages.
Would be really grateful if you could advise me of an alternative solution to getting my tabs, search bar and address bar back please?
Many thanks
Paul
ps as I don't have any tabs I can't tell you which version I have installed, but your clever software looks like it's got it right.

Try this: press F10 or tap the Alt key to display the menu bar temporarily, then
View > Toolbars > Menu Bar
If that doesn't work, you could reset your toolbars to factory default using Firefox's Safe Mode. First, make a backup of your computer for safekeeping. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
Next, start Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode], and check only the box to reset toolbars. Be careful not to "reset" anything else if you didn't back up.
Hope this helps.

Type move itunes library into the google serach bar.
It has always been very basic to always maintain abackup copy of your computer. Do you not have a backup copy?

My computer crashed and my open tabs were not restored when I rebooted as in the past. How can I get them back?

In the past Firefox always restored my active tabs when I restarted it. This time it didn't and I can't figure out how to get them back. The restore option in history didn't work either.

You can try use Time Machine to restore the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox Profile Folder

My bookmarks vanished what happend? how can I get them back?

When I opened Fire fox my bookmarks menu and toolbar were gone what happened? What can I do to get them back? I had over 30 items in bookmarks.

If you use the same profile folder with different Firefox versions then you should create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Why is "New Tab Plus" now disabled and not able to be installed, and how can I get it back?

I had New Tab Plus and loved it for a very long time. I also love firefox and have a hard time going for any other browser. The addon was working just fine until today when I had to reformat my computer. I didnt bother to backup the addon's and Mozilla but only the bookmarks and New Tab Plus settings. When I returned I find that I cannot reinstall New Tab Plus because it was disabled my an admin... With no reason why, or no way to get it back. Why was it removed? Is it possible at all to get it back even if it takes using an older version of firefox?
Thank you for your time.

I did default System restore to factory defaults without automatic backups because I had selectively backed up everything I thought was important to an external. I do not have nay remnants of the old Firefox profiles aside for my bookmarks.
Also they have an english site http://www.newtabplus.com/
It's just not updated to address the issue last time I checked.

Hi somehow all my bookmarks on my Mozilla Firefox toolbar disapeared that I saved on my AOL toolbar. How can I get them back?

Hi on my Firefox browser I had saved links via my AOL toolbar that suddenly disappeared yesterday and Im wondering if anyone knows what could have happened and how I can get them restored? I was just online visiting web sites and noticed they just disappeared.

Hello,
Please confirm that the problem you faced was this
#You had an issue with our Internet access
#Telstra fixed the issue and restarted your modem
#Now in Firefox you are unable to view your bookmarks
Is that the issue? If so, it is unlikely that a connectivity issue has caused this problem. Also, can you please confirm if you have enabled Firefox Sync?
Thank you

Many but not all Favicons disappeared from my tabs & bookmarks last week - how can I get them back?

I have been using many of these for years, eg google and tvguide.co.uk but now they show as dot edged boxes instead of favicons on tabs. Others are OK eg Firefox and Facebook. All these sites still display correctly in other browsers.
I have: cleared history, cookies and cache / deleted and remade bookmarks / tried safe mode / restarted several times / tried some recovery addons, but nothing works.
I updated to FF 25 at about the time I noticed this problem and am running Windows 8

Do you see the favicon on the tab if you visit one of those sites?
Normally Firefox should fetch the favicon from the server if you click a bookmark to visit this link.
You can check these prefs on the about:config page to make sure that they have the default value.
*browser.chrome.favicons
*browser.chrome.site_icons
Try to let all favicons expire to see if that makes Firefox to store properly them once again.
Copy and Paste the JavaScript code in the command line in the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web <pre><nowiki>Developer;Ctrl+Shift+J) and press the Enter key.
var fS = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/browser/favicon-service;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIFaviconService);
fS.expireAllFavicons();</nowiki></pre>
(note that this will remove all favicons, so you need to open a bookmark to make Firefox retrieve the favicon)
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js and user.js files to reset all prefs to the default value or reset these prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu on the about:config page or edit the prefs.js file and remove related line(s).

The passwords and usernames i have for my sites got erased, how can i get them back or reset them so when i open them they nolonger ask me por that info like gmail

Firefox deleted all of my saved usernames and passwords for the sites i allowed them, For instance I can no longer click gmail and be at my e-mail and see my email, but i am promoted for password and username.

''passwords and usernames i have for my sites got erased''
Did you have them after updating Firefox, or did you lose your passwords as well. If you lost everything you either created a new profile and are in it, or you accidentally/intentionally cleared your history (see picture link). If you cleared your history, the changes are permanent and they are gone.
If you cleared your history, except for bookmarks in backups, you will have to try for
#Data in an older profile, for most people this would only be if one accidentally created a new profile, such as during a Firefox installation.
#Your own backups
#Old password, cookies from Internet Explorer
Use the "Alt" key to temporarily see your toolbars. Use the view menu to display any toolbars that should be displayed, such as the Bookmarks Toolbar.
Check these:
*Do you have bookmarks Ctrl+B (Bookmarks sidebar), if you don't see your own bookmarks but you see those from when you first installed Firefox, you are probably in a new profile, using the Profile Manager could bring up another profile.
*Check your current bookmarkbackups for dates
:On current profile, you can check dates, and restore/replace current bookmarks from a backup. "Ctrl+Shift+B" to bring up the Library List, then in the "Import and Backup" menu, choose Restore to see what dates are available. This will tell you the last 11 dates you used your current profile in Fx5 (5 days if Fx3). You can restore if your bookmarks are messed up.
Profile: ''Find out if there are multiple profiles''
:type in '''about:support''' into the location bar :Click on "Open containing folder" :You are now in your current profile :go up one directory level to "'''Profiles'''", where you can see if you have more than one profile directory :files of interest (check last used/update dates) within profile: places.sqlite file, and within bookmarkbackups folder are .json bookmark backups for dates.
'''Deleting History/Lost History''' (Tools -> options -> Privacy), make sure you are not clearing in "Settings for Clearing History" anything but cache. The items you have check-marked there will be cleared at end of session if "Clear history when Firefox closes" is check-marked. If under tools you click on "Clear recent history Ctrl+Shift+Del" you should be asked for how much history to delete {1hr, 2hr, 4hr, today, everything} and what to clear in the details drop-down. Make sure when using the location bar you are displaying both "History and Bookmarks" so the AwesomeBar can look for items from both.

'''You should be backing your for Firefox profiles''', there is not a lot of data and you should be backing up frequently. The is a lot more data for other applications in you Windows user library and you should be backing up data from there as well.
When you backup all of your user data to external hard-drive (500GB to 3TB) your Firefox profiles would be included.
But this is about Firefox. For Firefox a thumb drive would probably suffice to backup one or more profiles.
'''backing up your Firefox Profiles''' (the following is all on one line)
xcopy C:\Users\''<username>''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.* g:\profiles\*.* /s /d /h /y /c /q

After updating my Firefox, I am unable to access my top sites(those 8 blocks). How can I get them back?

Not even the switching option on the top corner is being available.

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
See also this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
You can check these prefs on the about:config page and reset them if necessary via the right-click context menu.

*browser.newtabpage.enabled

I accidently deleted several windows that had a number of tabs how can i get them back?

I got into a site that sent out a number of boxes that kept repeating. I was deleting these and accidentally deleted a number of windows with tabs in them that I was using. The windows were roughly separated by category.

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 andnow all my saved usernames and passwords have been deleted. How can I get them back securely?

I need to get back my saved usernames and passwords that were automatically accessed but now do not show up

All my passwords are still stored in Firefox 4.0 but the program doesn't paste them into the login boxes.

I recently got a new iPad and when synching it to my laptop I accidently clicked to replace all of my new information with the old. I had iCloud on the new one and there were many notes saved in it. How can I get them back?

Everthing was replaced including the information under iCloud under settings. My iPad now states that I do not have my iCloud account set up on my iPad as on the old one I did not.

Go to Settings>iCloud and set up the iCloud account you were using before by singing in with the same Apple ID. Then turn the data you were syncing with your iCloud account back to On, and if prompted, choose merge.
