How can I get my bookmarks into my new [Windows 7] computer from my old [XP] hard drive?

I copied Favorites already but they don't show up in Firefox - and I copied before installing Firefox.

Not from Mozilla. Nobody knows your Sync Key except for you. <br />
Is that hard drive usable at all? Like as an external disk in a USB hard drive enclosure?
If so, you can recover your Firefox data from that drive. <br />

Your old Profile is located here in Vista & Win7: <br />
''drive'':\Users\''Windows login user name''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\''profile_name'' <br />
Make sure that you unhide "Hidden files and folder" in the Control Panel > Folder Options -> View

  • How can I download airport extreme software on new windows 8 computer?

    How can I download airport express software on new Win8 computer?  keep getting error message saying that I need Win7 or newer.

    AirPort Express needs AirPort Utility 5.6.1 for Windows.

    If that won't run on Windows 8, then you best call Apple Support.....or borrow an iPhone or iPad for a few minutes to set up the Express.

  • Just installed WIN 7 on SSD. How can I get original Bookmarks into New Configuration?

    After 1 year with Win 7 on my desktop I have purchased an SSD. I have reinstalled WIN 7 but cannot retrieve favourites from my old firefox (HDD still available). Is it possible to retrieve the favourites or is it possible to export favourites from my laptop to my desktop?

    Firefox 3 and later no longer use bookmarks.html to store the bookmarks.<br />
    You can restore the bookmarks from the most recent JSON back in the bookmarkbackups folder or copy places.sqlite to the current Firefox profile. Both methods will replace the current bookmarks with the new bookmarks, so I you need to preserve existing bookmarks then export them to an HTML file and import that file afterward.

  • Reinstalled Win 7 Home Pre. have an icon on desk top titled Old Firefox Data, how can I get this info into my new version of Firefox, FAQ's not clear on this.

    Read FAQ's but did not see how I was to proceed to restore the data in the Old FireFox Data folder on my desktop. It should hold all of my bookmarks, passwords and other data that I would like to recover into this new install of FireFox.

    Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; '''Old Firefox?'''

  • Open in new tab not working properly. How can I get it to stop opening new windows?

    Firefox recently updated and my + open new tab button was gone. I found and downloaded the extension to put it back on, which is now gone but never worked. I have checked options>tabs and it is supposed to be opening new tabs. I can click file open new tab and it still opens everything in a new window. I've loved firefox for several years but if this isn't fixable quickly I'm gone. Can anyone help?

    You definitely should not need an extension to get a new tab button!
    Do you have any tab related extensions now, such as Tab Mix Plus or Tab Utilities?
    Try resetting your toolbar layout by renaming the file that stores customizations. Firefox should returns to the default settings for toolbars and windows. Here's how:
    (1) Open your personal settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder
    Help (or Alt+h) > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    (2) Switch back to Firefox and exit the program (e.g., File > Exit)
    (3) Wait a few moments for Firefox to finish updating files in your settings folder, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something else, like localstore-bad.rdf or localstore.old. Alternately, you can delete the file.
    (4) You're done with your profile folder and you can restart Firefox now.
    Any luck?
    With respect to links launching in new windows instead of tabs, the checkbox in the Options dialog should work but there is an exception for scripted windows that have certain parameters set (e.g., dialog style with no toolbars, or a specific size). Launching a link out of a dialog, which is not allowed to have extra tabs in the window, also will launch either a new window or be added to an existing window. Any chance the problem is related to those situations?

  • All the instructions how to import Bookmarks send me to "Organize bookmarks" from "Boolmarks" menu. But there is no such a option in Mozilla 4 Bookmarks menu. How can I get my bookmarks transfered to new computer?

    I need to transfer my bookmarks to new computer. At this time only Mozilla 4 was available for download. But all instruction for transferring seems to be provided for previews version of Mozilla. As result I couldn't use this browser.

    "Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in Firefox 4.

  • When I click on GBookmarks the menu doesn't drop down anymore. How can I get my bookmarks to show again?

    When I click on GBookmarks on the menu bar, my bookmarks don't drop down anymore. How can I get my bookmarks to show again? What shows up now when I click on the GBookmarks are 4 choices: Add bookmarks, manage bookmarks, options, and refresh. How can I get my menu of booksmarks to drop down again? I can go to manage bookmarks and then find my bookmarks, but it's a 3 step process now instead of one. What happened here?

    The reviews for the GBookmarks extension agree that there is some problem recently.
    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/gbookmarks-google-bookmarks-fo/
    The support page lists an email address for support: http://www.suchisoft.com/ext/gbookmarks.php
    I ran a web search for other recent discussion and didn't come up with any answers. Hopefully the extension's author has time to look into it.

  • Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

    Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • TS4036 I have a Macbook pro and I'm trying to set up my ICloud on it, and when I go to Preferences, there is NO ICloud there.  How can I get ICloud back into  "my preferences" to set it up?

    I have a MacBook Pro, its 1 year old.  I'm trying to set up my ICloud on it, and when I go to "preferences", (it says to go to "Preferences" in the instructions,) and then "click" on "ICloud", but my ICloud is not there.  How can I get "ICloud back into "my preferences". 

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    This suggests you don't have the right operating system. OS X 10.7.2 or better is required for iCloud, which operating system do you have.

  • How can I get my bookmarks onto my computer?

    I'm trying to get all of my Safari bookmarks on my iPad downloaded onto my computer and I thought Cloud was the only way to do that. I've already synced the iPad with Cloud but the only option that comes up is for me to "Merge bookmarks with the iCloud". It says that if I do that it will merge the information on my pc with the ones in Cloud. How can I get the bookmarks on my iPad to merge onto the Cloud?

    Hi Labtheis,
    If you are having issues using iCloud Bookmarks with your iPad, you may want to double check that Safari is enabled in the iCloud settings on your iPad. You may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

  • How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud

    How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud?

    You don't need them stored locally for a backup. You can manually export your contacts as archive for backup. Also, if you are backing up with Time Machine, you already have a backup. If your hard drive crashed, you would have to rely on your backup or iCloud anyway.
    So, if you're comfortable with that, sign out of iCloud. Choose to delete contacts from the computer. When you sign back into iCloud, you should only have iCloud contacts listed in AB. When you open iCal, you should only have one listing for birthdays.
    The other alternative is to disable the Birthday c.alendar and create one manually.
