How can I undo the firefox browser refresh and get my old browser & settings, etc. back?

I accidentally did the browser refresh yesterday (2-17-2015) without reading further down the page on what that would do. It of course gave me a fresh browser. The problem is I lost my customized appearance (Dark blue fox, I believe), the add-ons I really have come to really on, etc. Firefox did create a folder with the old settings. I'm not that savoy understanding how to get that folder to open, run, whatever it takes to put all the things I want back into working order on the firefox browser. Please excuse my lack of proper terminology, jargon, etc. I know enough to be confused and everything I have learned IT has come from stumbling through it over the last 15 years of having my own PC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Please keep any solution details as plain and simple for a novas to understand and execute as possible.
Many, many Thanks, Ottodewy

When you reset (refresh) Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop to an "Old Firefox Data" folder.
Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.
It is possible to recover data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Note that is is also possible to use the Profile Manager to create a new profile.
That way the current profile isn't moved to the desktop, so you can return to it at any time.

  • I have 2 iphones in the family and want to use itunes match on both devices, but my husband has his own itunes acct, how can he use the main itunes library and get out music on his phone also

    I have 2 iphones in the family and want to use itunes match on both devices, unfortunately my husband has his own itunes acct and when i change on his phone to my itunes acct it states that the email is already in use, any help on how to get the itunes match to go onto both devices, thanks

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

  • How can i convert the firefox-history-timestamp in places.sqlite into a normal date format? The firefox-timestamp is not equivalent to the unix-timestamp, that's why I ask. I could not find a conversion function. Does anyone know something about this?

    As I opened the places.sqlite with an sqlite-editor I found out that firefox saves the last_visit_date via a timestamp which is 16 digits long. I realized that the first 10 digits are similar to the corresponding unix-timestamp but not equal. So.. how can i convert the firefox-timestamp into a normal date? Or into the corresponding unix-timestamp?

    Write a bash script or 'C' program to change the date format and then use the sql update function to receive the stdio output 'where date_field='embeded date value'.

  • After getting an update from 10.6.8 many of my programs were no longer able to open. How can I undo the update or solve this problem another way?

    After getting an update from 10.6.8 many of my programs were no longer able to open. How can I undo the update or solve this problem another way?

    Do you have a bootable clone from prior to the update? If so, roll back with that.
    Are your apps that won't open PPC and do they need Rosetta? Do you need to activate Rosetta?
    Have you considered reinstalling 10.6 from your install disc and then coming forward with the 10.6.8 Combo Updater, then doing software update and not including whatever it was you installed that caused this propblem?
    By the way - what update was it that caused this problem?

  • How can I clear the stored browsing history in iCloud?

    As the headline says, how can I clear the stored browsing history in iCloud?
    After resetting my iPhone, previous history came back as soon as I signed in with iCloud on it. I would really like this to not occur.

    The only place that Thunderbird gets suggested addresses is from your address books. I have seen some not show up in the books because some key info was never stored when the contact was saved.
    Sometimes you can start a new message and when the bad contact shows up select it. Create the message and save it to drafts. Then you can go to the Draft folder open the draft message by right clicking and select Open Message in Tab. Then click the star to the right of the contact and it will open the contact edit button. From there you can delete the contact.
    This does not always work though.

  • How can I undo the deleting of a calendar?

    How can I undo the accidental deleting of a calendar within the ipad calendar program? How can I generally undo things I did within the ipad programs?

    Hi,
    Per my understanding, you might want to check if there any overlapped recurring events in Event Receiver.
    You can build the query with <DateRangesOverlap> to return the recurring events with Server Object Model.
    A code demo in the thread below about how to get recurring events from Calendar for your reference:

    Hello RationalPuppet
    If you go to Settings > Music and then toggle off Show All Music that will prevent from seeing your downloaded music. I have also provided other articles for hiding purchases and even deleting purchases from iTunes in the Cloud.

    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,

  • How can i extend the Apple TV storage to get an 1 TB? apple has any external hard disk or similar?

    how can i extend the Apple TV storage to get an 1 TB? apple has any external hard disk or similar?

    Only AppleTV1 has an internal PATA drive. The largest PATA drive available is 250gb.
    Hacks are available to use the USB port on AppleTV1 to access more storage.
    AppleTV2 does not have an internal drive.
    Why do you need more storage in your AppleTV? iTunes streams video to AppleTV so no need to store it locally.

  • How Can I have the MB display (1280X800) and a  1440 x 900 ext not in miror

    How Can I have the MB display (1280X800) and a 1440 x 900 ext not in miror mode ???
    I have a Lenovo external display :
    H19-inch (483-mm) viewable image size
    Optimum resolution: 1440 x 900
    Tilt stand for viewing comfort adjustments
    16 x 10 aspect ratio
    Analog attachment

    I just bought a wide screen display that also uses 1440 X900 resolution. In mirror mode mine also only allows a maximum of 1280 X ???. I think may be a limitation of the GMA 950 graphics chip set. I never use it in mirrow mode so it doesn't bother me. I prefer extended mode. That way I can keep more windows open and visible.
    I use the question mars because on mine I can use 1280 X any of the resolutions that go with it.
