Had firefox want to do an update, updated lost all bookmarks then randomly it unstalled and back to the pre-updated version

the other day, firefox updated itself , i lost all my bookmarks autologins etc, them randomly today its gone back to the pre-update version? i dont know whats going on? the version on my computer currently is 27.0

This is not an issue that Firefox itself is going to cause. Maybe it is your backup software or something.
Firefox has no mechanism for causing reverts to older installs. When Firefox does upgrade it does try to preserve bookmarks. I note from your Sytem information aside that you have McAfee software, but I do not know whether that may be implicated in this sort of problem.
I do know; certainly in the past; some McAfee software, and particularly the SiteAdvisor have caused Firefox problems.
N.B. Firefox has its own built in features
* [[How does built-in Phishing and Malware Protection work?]]
* And Windows provides basic AV software for free http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/security-essentials-download
I could try to give some basic help information regarding Windows features for recovering previous versions of files
* - Please - always carefully back up any existing files or folders before attempting that
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/previous-versions-files-faq#1TC=windows-7
I suspect however your problem may relate to use of third party backup or security software.
* What security related software and backup software is in use ?

  • Updating thunderbolt v. 1.0 runs so long and still on the list updates.

    Good Sunday to all,
    For two days I've noticed that the Thunderbolt 1.0 update for my mac 1.7.3 lion, even after numerous attempts at installation is not installed.
    Basically if I check the available aggiornamneti HIS update is always available even after I installed and rebooted, I assure you that I will have done more than 10 times.
    I also ran the disk verification and permissions that have not completely solved the problem.
    Nahce I tried to download the update from apple site masuccede the same thing.
    The machine restarts and displays the scermat with the apple and the buffer feed shortly after the machine shuts down and restarts and once charged his desk, going to check for updates, quell'update is always there.
    I specify that this is a latest model iMac, Mid 2011.
    On the web I noticed that many resolve their macbook connecting to the mains but in this case seems to me obvious that the solution is not adoptable.
    If you quelche news or even any idea please reply to this topic.
    greetings 

    Look for the FAQ on this page..
    LR will be slow at the start when it populates metadata and renders the standard previews.
    Go to Grid
    Select 'All Photographs'.
    Select ALL
    Got to the Library>Previews menu and Select 'Render Standard Previews'
    Go get a cup of tea and read the new Digital Photo Pro. It will take a little time but LR will be zippy once this is done.
    When you import news images make sure 'Render Standard previews is checked, because it keeps Lightroom fast.

  • While updating the software from 6.1.3 to 6.1.4 on iPhone 5, the power failed. iTunes had just finished the backup and was beginning the software update. Now the phone screen says to connect to iTunes but the phone is not recognised when plugged in.

    While updating the iPhone 5 software from 6.1.3 to 6.1.4, the power failed. iTunes had just finished the backup and was beginning the software update. Now the phone screen says to connect to iTunes but the phone is not recognised when plugged in. Using Windows 7 and phone not recognised by computer, let alone by iTunes.
    Any suggestions? Happy to take it off to the the Apple genius people but would prefer to get it running myself.

    You cannot.
    Unless you have done as you should and have the old facebook app on your computer. 

  • Lost all bookmarks on the 18th of April, it's all blank, lost how do I get them back? I think there was an update that day & everything is gone. I'm heartsick.

    I've been using Firefox for a while now. You've had a few updates & I've always kept my bookmarks. But on the 18th of April you did any update & I lost all my bookmarks in that update.. I've tried looking for the answer & the way to get them back. But have not found a way. So how do I get my bookmarks back from before the 18th of April of 2015? Nothing you have addresses that subject. I'm heartsick about this.

    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can
    be caused by a corrupted '''places.sqlite''' database file.
    Type '''about:support''' in the address bar and press enter.
    Under the page logo on the left side you will see '''Application Basics.'''
    Under this find '''Profile Folder.''' To it’s right press the button
    '''Show Folder.''' This will open your file browser to the current
    Firefox profile. Now '''Close Firefox.'''
    Locate the '''places.sqlite''' file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox.
    These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
    These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

  • Turning back on the "manual update" feature in iTunes

    Ok, there's two iPods, mine and my sisters, and we both use the same iTunes. My iPod is set up to update automatically whenever I connect it to the computer and hers is set so that it doesnt automatically update when it's connected, but I just drag and drop certain songs into her iPod.
    Now, I tried putting a new video on her iPod and in the videos tab of her iPod in iTunes I clicked on upload all the videos, it wouldnt let me drag on drop.
    This has changed the settings on the iPod and now whenever i connect it to the computer it starts updating the iPod with my library.
    Is there any way of putting this setting back to the manual update function? As it is im scared to leave it connected for too long because i dont want it to erase songs she has on her iPod that i no longer have on my iTunes.
    Cheers people, thanks for any info you can give me.

    Just a thought - connect your own ipod, let it sync automatically and then change the itunes sync setting to manual. Maybe that changes the next syncing of your sister's ipod to manual as well?

  • How can I be certain the contact list in my iPod touch updates my computer Outlook contact list when I sync and not go the other way? The options in iTunes are not specific enough.

    How can I be certain the contact list in my iPod touch updates my computer Outlook contact list when I sync and not go the other way? The options in iTunes are not specific enough. In other words, I want to replace the information in my computer Outlook contact list with the data from my iPod touch. 

    How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

  • I can not install new update in Photoshop CC, does any one know, how I can install the new update?

    I can not install new update in Photoshop CC, does any one know, how I can install the new update?
    Photoshop CC show me, if I look on "Help" -> Update, there is no update. But my actual license is very old....
    I tried it, to do it manual. But there is also some problem.

    totally agree.  at this point i could care less if "apple" supports it.  i'm not renting my ipod touch, it's mine.  i paid for it.  and i'm not asking to do anything illegal with it, all i want is to get rid of this POS ios6 and get back to being able to use my ipod touch the way it was before...working.

  • Ive just updated my iPhone4 to the IOS5 software and i have lost all my apps? why? and how can i get them back?

    Ive just updated my iPhone4 to the IOS5 software and i have lost all my apps? why? and how can i get them back?

    When an iPhone updates, it wipes the whole device clean and then reinstalls the software and then the backup. Obviously you didn't create/couldn't create a backup either via iCloud or iTunes. You can get your apps back when you go to App Store>Updates>Purchased and download the apps you want.

  • How do we back out the latest update?

    Does anyone know how we can back out the latest update?
    Last night I made the mistake of trusting the Verizon upgrade application and let it upgrade my Samsung Galaxay S3. Now various applications no longer work. They worked fine before, now they crash on start and give a message such as "Unfortunately, <application-name> has stopped." and I have options of <Report> or <Ok>.
    There is NOTHING in the new update that I want, in fact I dislike the new graphics look and feel, auto spell typing has changed in ways I don't like, and applications aren't working.... so I want to go back...
    Anyone know how?
    Thanks,
    -=John

    Having the same issues since I upgraded yesterday.  I see a lot of people posting issues after the upgrade, but no real solutions except the moronic reset (default answer for any problem) suggestion by verizon.

    I keep being asked to update my Safari but when I do a Software update it scans but never gives me a list and just says no new updates. Help please!

    There are no updates to either OS 10.5.8 or Safari 5.0.6.
    If you need a later version of Safari you must first upgrade your operating system to a later version of OS X.

  • I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly.  How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

    I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly.  New songs are not showing up on the ipod display but when I view the device on my computer, they are in the playlist but there is a dashed circle beside the missing songs.  It previously synced perfectly before the IOS update.  How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
