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

    how can i get my iMessage on my mac to sync with the texts i get on my iPhone?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are you aware it only syncs iMessages. Also once enabled only new messages will sync, try messaging the user from the Mac and see if that gets things going for you.

  • How can I get all my data back after erasing my iPad from find my iPhone?

    What happened is that I have 2 iPads . So I deleted the two from "find my iPhone" so  one already got deleted but the other one is still awaiting to get delete. What I want to know is that the one that is not deleted yet is using the same ID as the other one... So I have the one that got deleted and I had to put my ID again and all those stuffs and I wanted to get all my photos back but I couldn'. So the other one has the same ID but already did the backup therefore it's supossed to get all its inforMarion back with the ID but the other one has that ID so how can I get my data back and the one that already got deleted?

  • 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].

    can the theif delete my information by installing new firmware?
    A thief can't do anything at all with it. An iPhone running iOS 7's Activation Lock is 100% useless to anyone without your Apple ID password.
    Most stolen iPhones wind up in pawn shops or Craigslist, where they are sold to hapless people for whom it remains just as useless.
