How can I get my old bookmarks back after I downloaded a fresh copy of Firefox?

While I was at work, my wife downloaded what she thought was an update to our current Firefox App. Turns out it was a "fresh version." How can I get my history and bookmarks back? Do I still have the old version (the most recent version before the download of the Fresh Version) on my computer somewhere?

Hi, please have a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data this article] which should help you to restore your bookmarks etc.

  • How can I get my old bookmarks back?

    I tried copying and pasting the places.sqlite from my old harddrive onto my new one but it didn't do anything. Is there any way to get my bookmarks onto my new computer?

    Are you copying the places.sqlite file into your active profile folder? You can open your active profile folder this way:
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Open Containing Folder" button
    Close Firefox before copying the file in so it isn't overwritten when Firefox closes.
    Your '''old''' profile folder also should contain a folder named bookmarkbackups. You can restore a JSON file from that folder. See this article for more information: [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing-up-restoring-bookmarks Backing up and restoring bookmarks | How to | Firefox Help].

  • How can I get my original bookmarks back after accidentely syncing with a new Firefox installation?

    I've installed Firefox sync on a new netbook running Ubuntu and it worked at first, it synced my bookmarks from my PC to the netbook with no problems.
    However yesterday it decided to sync the original bookmarks on the netbook with my PC and now I've lost all of my original 100+ bookmarks, they still appear in the URL bar when I type in the keywords for a particular bookmark but not in the bookmarks menu.
    How can I stop Firefox sync from repressing my actual bookmarks? How can I return the situation to how it was before using this addon?

    See [[Replace your Sync information]] but read the cautions carefully.
    * also see [[firefox Sync is not working]]
    It is always a useful precaution to make manual bookmarks backups
    * see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
    The above article also explains about the autobookmark backups that firefox generates, but be sure to make manual backups as you work, it is very easy to overwrite the wrong set of backups.
    I am not entirely certain what firefox is doing in your case, perhaps the synced Netbook does not have the expected set of bookmarks on it.
    Presumably sync may be uninstalled or disabled like any other add-on

    Not true at all.
    You only buy the right to your own personal use.
    You do NOT have the right to distribute to others.
    This is illegal.  There is no doubt about it

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • I downloaded firefox 5 but lost my tool bars, how can i get the old version back?

    I downloaded firefox 5 but lost my tool bars, how can i get the old version back? It said my tool bars are not compatible. I want them back.

    That is the new appearance Firefox 4 and now Firefox 5, you can easily put things back because Firefox is customizable.
    You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

  • How can I get the old version back, because this new is so poor, it doesn't work. My curcor doesn't appeart and can use secont tab.

    If I have one tab open and I try to open other, cursor doen't appeart. And If I open youtube I can't write for the search box.
    So I want the old version back, how can I get it.

    First you'll need to download the old version from here.
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Once you have chosen your language and operating system type then download it from the list on that page.
    Next you will have to uninstall the current version of Firefox by using the add/remove programs option under control panel. After the current Firefox has been removed you can then run the installer for the old version. Using this method will not save your bookmarks or any addon's/extensions so make sure you have a list of the addon's you want to get back and you can also backup your bookmarks from within your current version of Firefox prior to removing it.
    Do note that some extensions that you may have installed were installed by 3rd party programs and they will not be reinstalled until the program that installed them has been either updated or reinstalled as well.

  • My restore didnt work when i updated to IOS5, and then it was overwritten. How can i get my old restore back??

    Ijust updated my ipod touch to ios5 and it didnt restore. i unplugged and reconnected my cable to the PC but when i reconnected it, it backed up over the restore i was trying to get.

    You can only get your old backup back, if you included it into your computer backup routine and could restore the backup folder for your ipod.
    If you have no other backups, your info is gone.
    iTunes and iOS do not support installing backups of newer versions of iOS onto devices using earlier versions of iOS.
    iTunes will not back up automatically if you are using iCloud.

  • Ever since updating to 6.0, my internet crashes, my app store crashes, EVERYTHING crashes.  It's very annoying to say the least.  How can I get the old version back????

    I'm getting really annoyed that my iPod keeps crashing thanks to 6.0.  When is this going to get fixed or how can I get the previous version back??

    I had a iPod 4G and it suffered crashes after upgrading to iOS6, especially in the App Store and iTunes store. Safari often crashed as well, but it occurred same as before I upgraded.
    My iPod barely had any apps on it, having only 3GB used of 6.5GB available space (I had 8GB version).
    I got the new iPod Touch 5th generation a few days ago and it works perfectly. Never had a single crash running any app, game, or store.
    This has led me to believe that iOS6 was primiarily for the new line of devices and not really optimized for the previous generation. Thus, I think that iOS6 may be the last highest supported OS for the iPod-4 and the iPhone-4 and 4S and future operating systems will not be compatible with the previous generation.

    If you don't have a backup, well you can't. Start storing your contacts in a supported contact application on your computer & you won't have this problem in the future. And, backup your computer.
