Had to wipe disks and reinstall everything. Lost all bookmark and speeddial data. How do I get back to where I was?

I am using an HP Envy 15 laptop. I recently had a problem that required me to restore from the original restoration disk thus wiping out everything I had added over the last year including Firefox. I had previously backed up everything to an external hard drive but that seems to have saved only photos. I've lost everything else. At least, I cannot restore any of the data back to the PC. I have downloaded Firefox again, but have lost all my bookmarks, scrapbooks, speed dial, etc. Is there anyway I can retrieve this data from Firefox?

Unless you were using the Firefox Sync extension and your Firefox data was uploaded to the Sync server, or you have a backup of your Firefox Profile data, your data is probably gone.
Try searching that backup data for a JSON file or a file named places.sqlite.

  • I had my hard drive redone and reinstalled itunes losing all of my music. How do i get my 300 plus songs back on my pc for hearing pleasure?

    I am worried that i have lost all songs which i purchased through the store. I cant access the music but in the account history i am able to see that i did buy and download into my library. would like to know how i can get all music and movies back where i can enjoy them again. thanks for your help.

    What country are you in ? In some countries you can re-download past music purchases, but films can currently only be re-downloaded in the US (and not all films). Have you not got a backup of your purchased content on, for example, an external drive ?

  • My hard drive crashed and I have lost all of my music. How do I get it back?

    My hard drive has crashed and I have lost all of my music. Is there a way to contact the itunes people and get at least all of my purchased music back?

    If you are a resident of the U.S., have iTunes 10.3 or later, you can re download purchases for free.

  • After upgrading toFirefox 4 and Syncing, I lost all bookmarks and history on one PC.

    I had been using FF 3.6 on 2 PCs untill yesterday, and only the native browser on an Archos 101 IT Android tablet.
    I have
    - upgraded 1st PC (Win. XP) to FF4
    - added FF mobile to the android tablet,
    - synched both : OK.
    Then,
    - upgraded 2nd PC (Win 7) to FF4,
    - synched with previous.
    Problems :
    1. on the 1st PC (Win XP), I still have an equivalent of the old horizontal menu (File, Edit, Display, History, Bookmarks, Scrapbook, ?) Is this normal ? There is no 'Tabs on top" option.
    2. on the 2nd PC (Win 7, with the new Firefox button and, whenever Sync is active, I get the unknown error : (translated from french) Sync has encountered an error while synchronising : '''unknown error'''. Sync will automatically try this action again.
    I have stopeed and restarted Sync : same.
    The Personal Bar shows multiple copies of a single button (which existed before on both PCs, once only). I cannot delete any of these button copies.
    3. on the same, I see History when pressing Ctrl+H (OK), but no bookmark when pressing Ctrl+B (empty). The Library (Ctrl+Shift+B) is also totally empty : no history, no bookmark.
    Some bookmarks show (copied from 1st PC, without my old bookmarks) in the Firefox > Bookmarks sub-menu.
    History is not synched.
    Bookmarks have disappeared from 2nd PC. I tried restoring from backups, but nothing showed.
    Anything I can do ?
    Thanks,
    Etienne

    Hi Diovizor,
    Make sure that you do not use [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.
    Also please make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.
    You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: Use custome settings for history. Uncheck "Always use permanent Private Browsing mode"
    Hope that helps!

  • Downloaded new software ios5 and now I lost all my calendar events.  How do I get them back?, downloaded new software ios5 and now I lost all my calendar events.  How do I get them back?

    I downloaded the new software ios5 the other day.  Woke up this morning and all my calendar events are gone!  How do I get everything back??

    Plug in your iPhone. Restore it. If it asks you if you want to back it up say no. When the restoring is done, without plugging in your iPhone, you should get an option to restore your iPhone from a back up or a new iPhone option. Restore it from your back up. It has nothing to do with iCloud but I recommend you set up an iCloud account to avoid loosing stuff like your contacts. And it's free.

  • My daughter has loaded a security system, and has forgotten which one, and we have lost all bookmarks and history.

    We cannot access any bookmarks or history since my daughter downloaded a security system to protect the computer files. She cannot remember what the file was she downloaded. How can I get the bookmarks and history back?

    And does she have current backups of all her important files?
    Operating a business with a computer and not keeping current backups is a very dangerous thing to do. Hard drives can fail at any time. Experienced IT people will tell you there are two kinds of hard drives - those that have failed and those that are going to fail. The only question is when.
    Best of luck.

  • Since update to 20.0.1 I have lost the "restore points" I used to have under "Tools". My life is now ruined. How can i get back to where I was a week ago?

    I am operating under Windows XP SP3. I have always,previously, been able to restore my "crashed" sessions under Mozilla Firefox. Since "trusting" in the most recent update to Mozilla, my life is now in "RUINS". I hope you have a way for me to get back to the "world" that was working for me to finish a project me and my late wife, Joy, were working on that I had "many" tabs opened to accomplish this "tribute" and "honor" to her memory. If not, damn you to Hell for what you have done to me!!!!!!!

    Is it possible you were using the Session Manager extension for this functionality of having multiple restore points on the Tools menu? You can check whether it became disabled, and check for an update, as follows.
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category - note that the disabled extensions cluster in a grayed out area at the bottom
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > "gear" icon > Check for Updates

    Updated to ios 5 and itunes 10.5 for my iphone and now i lost all apps and songs that i had downloaded in the past. how do i get everything back?

    in order to restore your songs and apps, you should just reconnect to itunes and sync your data. your phone ran a backup before it upgraded, and you can also do a restore. but the key is still to go to your itunes and sync back to your phone what you wanted there in the first place.

    I updated my IPhone 5C to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events.  How can I get them back?  I had it saved to the cloud but then changed it because I did not want to save everything to the cloud.  I changed it back and still don't have any events.

    Are they still listed on your device when you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Numbers?  If so, they should still be in iCloud but you may need to contact support to find out why the Numbers app isn't able to access them: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.
