How can I restore icons to safari bookmarks

When i upgraded to Yosemite ,I lost the icons on my safari bookmarks.How can I restore them

Hi Barry,
It should have pick-up the icons automatically from the database that Safari creates
but it looks like Yosemite may have failed to do so for some odd reason.
You may have to re-visit all the sites you want icons for again for Safari to rebuild it's database.
Probably not what you want to hear. In my option Apple is releasing too many OS releases and
not letting the current OS mature before it goes off on one of it's OS release rampage.

There are two extensions that help you apply your choice of an image for any Bookmark, not just the BTB icons. Choose one extension based upon the features it has, <br />

how can i restore the deleted accidentally bookmarks ? is there trash or bin for deleted bookmarks , like opera browser ?

If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back.
The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager).
That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.
Otherwise you need to restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup.
That will replace all the current bookmarks and you lose bookmarks that were added since that backup was created.

How can I restore my contacts and bookmarks from Time Machine?

A few weeks ago a friend tried to help my wife with a problem on her Mac and unwittingly in the process fiddled with my iMac so that I now have her contact list and her bookmarks and I can't find any way to get my iMac back to the way it was. I have a Time Machine backup, conscientiously kept, and a SuperDuper backup as well. Can somebdy please tell me how to restore my computer to its former state?

To restore your contacts, quit the Address Book or Contacts application. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select Services ▹ Reveal from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Restore the selected folder, or its contents, from a backup.
To restore your Safari bookmarks, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist

How can I restore icons for apps to my iPod Touch? After the OS upgrade, I had to reload apps. Some apps now do not show (can find in search but I want the icons back).

I upgraded to iOS 5.1 and had to reload all my apps. They take more than the max allowed pages so I had some in folders prior to upgrade. Now some do not appear. I can search but they are commonly used apps & I want to restore the icon to the screen. How can they be restored? I now have enough in folders that there is room for all the icons.

Just checked my info, I have an 8gb iPod Touch, 4G, using Version 6.0 (10A403)

How can I suppress icons in my bookmarks file?

I don't like the bloat my bookmarks file is subject too when icons are captured with the bookmarks. Is there a way to suppress these images? They're absolutely unnecessary and really explode each bookmark that has them The image is larger than all other data in the bookmark!

You can make Firefox 3 create an automatic HTML backup (''bookmarks.html'') when you exit Firefox if you set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML] to ''true'' on the '''about:config''' page.
That backup is created by default in the profile folder as bookmarks.html, but you can set the file name and path via the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.file browser.bookmarks.file] on the about:config page.
Note: an HTML backup doesn't preserve tags and annotations, so you lose those if you need to import the HTML backup.
You can suppress favicons by setting these prefs to false:
browser.chrome.favicons
browser.chrome.site_icons
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Formatted HD, but have backup of all the folders and files of Firefox. How can I restore everything, including plugins, bookmarks and saved settings?

I have formatted my computer's HD because of a problem with Windows 7, the thing is that Windows 7 didn't start, so I couldn't backup my Firefox settings, bookmarks, plugins, themes, personas and etc. the right way.
I also don't have a Firefox Sync account.
What I do have are all the folders and files of Firefox, because I just created a new partition and installed Windows 7 again, what I'm having trouble is finding a way (if there's any) to restore everything from my previous installation to the new one.
I have searched for days on both Google and on te Firefox forum with no success, the only questions I found are about restoring a profile, but what I'm trying to do is the same thing that the Firefox add-on " FEBE " does, which is restoring everything to the previous configuration.
Here's alink to the add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/pt-br/firefox/addon/febe/
I have tried copying, pasting and overwritting from the " .default " folder to my new installation of Firefox (yes, Firefox was closed), but when I opened it again, nothing was restored.
I every single folder and file Firefox ever created on my computer, this includes the installation folder (at Program Files), the profile (.default at AppData) folder, the Mozilla folder (ProgramData) and the Mozilla Firefox folder (also at AppData).
I also had the FEBE add-on installed, but like stated before, unfortunately I couldn't start Windows 7, forcing me to create a new partition to install a new copy of the OS.
Thanks in advance.
PS. Sorry if I made the text too long and/or if I mentioned the same things twice, just trying to be thorough.

Hi Sdarts,
I apologize for the delay in replying to your question, and I am sorry to hear that you are having issues restoring your Firefox user data.
Please see the following article, which explains how to restore your Firefox user data using a previously backed up Profiles folder, which seems to apply to your situation:

Please let us know if this solves your problem or if you have any questions.
Thanks!!

How can I restore my old history & bookmarks if I didn't run backup before re-installing a new clean OS? I've been using Firefox for 7 years as default, help me

Hello,
I believe that what I'm asking is simple & clear. Do you or do you not store user data backups on your servers? I've been using Firefox, as the default browser, for over 7 years. Naturally, I had to upgrade my
pc's & operating systems several times through this period. Every time I use a new device & of course a
new OS, I normally lose my old data (History & Bookmarks).
If you keep records or backups of old users' data, there will be no problem & I could restore all my old data
following your instructions. If not, which is probably the case, I'd like to suggest you consider developing or
at least put more stress on running backup before uninstalling & re-installing a new OS for the users to pay more attention to this issue.
That's all, thanks.
Regards,
Aly Hamed

hello aly, mozilla doesn't keep any of your history or bookmarks on its severs without your expressed consent (would be a horrible privacy policy otherwise) - there's the [[Use Sync to share your Firefox bookmarks, passwords and more with Firefox for mobile|firefox sync feature]] which will store parts of your private data encrypted in the cloud, in case you've used that in the past you'd need 3 components to restore this data: your username, password & the recovery key...
otherwise i don't know of any way to get to your old data if you haven't kept any other backup of some sorts - unfortunately most of us are reminded to the importance of backups when it's already too late :-/
in regard to your suggestion: during the firefox uninstall procedure your personal data isn't removed per default, so it would still be there after a reinstall of the application - you'd have to explicitly check the option to clear this kind of data in the uninstaller. some general information on where to look if you want to backup your firefox data in the future is available here: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

How can I restore "most visited" to bookmarks toolbar on firefox 5.0 ?

I deleted it to tidy up tool bar , but another user has asked for me to put it back

Hi Georgina,
A newer version of Firefox will not bring back what you purposely deleted.
But if you are not displaying the Bookmarks Toolbar then you might want to display it because that is where the original is/was. (see additional comment at bottom)
'''First create a bookmark:''' and let's make it for 12 instead of 10
:Right click on your bookmarks toolbar, "Create a new bookmark". Use copy and paste to populate your bookmark from the following:
'''Name:      ''' Most visited (12)
:'''Location:  ''' place:sort=8&redirectsMode=2&maxResults=12
Use the "Add" at the bottom to create the bookmark, no peeking at the location, you won't see it.
Exit Firefox with "'''Alt+F'''" then Exit (don't use the "X" in upper right corner)
Left click on your what is now your "Smart Folder", and you should see the 12 most visited from your '''history '''-- nothing to do with bookmarks that you also have.
If you right-click on the "Smart Folder" you won't still won't see the location, unless you have an extension or a style to show everything. -- [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/user/52 David McRitchie]
If you are not displaying the Bookmarks Toolbar then you can display it with "Alt+V" to bring up the View menu then "T" for Toolbars, click to show checkmark next to the Bookmarks Toolbar.
You can make Firefox '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.19, 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 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

How can I restore bookmarks to Safari?

I accidentally synced my wife's MB Air to my iCloud account and wiped out her Safari bookmarks and her contacts. How can I restore them? Her machine is backed up with Time Machine so I imagine I can use library files/plist to restore, but don't know which file to use, etc.
Thanks,

so I imagine I can use library files/plist to restore, but don't know which file to use
You're on the right track...
Using Time Machine...
The file you need is Bookmarks.plist located in ~/LIbrary/Safari

One way to add Facicons back is to visit those sites again.
It is time consuming if you really want to have all those back.

Go up to the main Safari menu bar above, and select "View."
Then when that bar comes down, select "Customize Toolbar."
Then select the arrow icon, and just drag it into your toolbar.

OOPS! Too quick on the trigger to ask that question without trying anything. Sorry. Solved it by touching the bookmark icon.
