How do I extract my bookmarks from a copy of Firefox on another hard drive?

My main computer died. Apparently power surge fried power supply and mother board. The hard drive was removed and using a USB adaptor I was able to copy the c-drive contents to an external back-up drive. I need the bookmarks file from the version on the crashed system. I have yet been able to figure out a way to access the file. My latest try was to re-name the Mozilla Firefox folder in Program files on this computer and transfer the same folder from the crashed system hard drive. When I booted Firefox, the same bookmarks as ever on this computer,,,, HELP!!!

The bookmarks are not stored in the same place as the program. They are stored in a file called places.sqlite in the profile folder. For details of the location of that folder see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

    You would need Adobe Acrobat to do that, not Adobe Reader.

  • How can I return my Bookmarks from esktop back to Firefox Bookmarks

    For some reason ( unknown to me) the bookmarks in Firefox were sent to my Desktop and I can not return them back to the Bookmarks in Firefox. Would appreciate any assistance in accomplishing the return of my Bookmarks.

    Hello,
    Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.
    #Use <u>one</u> of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
    #*Click the ''[[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar|Firefox button]]'' to open the menu and click on ''Bookmarks''.
    #*Click the ''Bookmarks'' menu and click on ''Show All Bookmarks''.
    # At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
    # Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
    # In the new window that appears, click OK.
    # Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.
    For more information, see the [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] article. For other solutions, see the [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • I had my computer replaced but copied my hard drive and now I can't access my firefox bookmarks, how can I go and extract the bookmarks from my copied harddrive?

    My HP Touchsmart was sent back in to HP for repairs under warranty. I was advised to make a copy of my harddrive because they may erase my hard drive, which they did, if the problem had to do with a faulty motherboard, which it was. They replaced my HD with a brand new one and now I DO NOT have any of my data installed in the new computer. Luckily I still have an exact replicate of my hard drive on a seperate external HD. However, when I looked in the bookmark.html under the firefox folder, the bookmarks were all blank and none of my bookmarks were there. I checked the properties tabe and it was dated sometime in March of 2011, earlier this year. I have a lot of stuff I wish to pull out from. The Firefox version I was using was the 3.6.16 and the file version was 1.9.2.4095, my OS was use Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I would like to be able to access it again. Please help. Just a heads up but I'm taking a guess you guys already know, that the information under troubleshooting information is of my current computer and not the same as the one that is copied in my hard drive.

    Sorry, I don't find a support article for that type of situation. Read these two articles for help, as bookmarks.html isn't the file type you should be looking for.

  • How can I transfer bookmarks from my old (dead) computer's good hard drive?

    My old computer is dead but the hard drive is good. I had Vista on the old computer and Firefox 6 or 7, I'm not sure. The new computer is Win 7 professional, 64 bit and has Firefox 8 on it.
    The old C drive is now an external USB drive on my new computer and is working perfectly.
    I had an extensive list of bookmarks. How can I transfer them to my new Firefox?

  • How do I get sync data from my mobile device to the new hard drive in my computer?

    My hard drive crashed and I need to get my synced data back and the instructions for doing so aren't adequately explaining how to do so.
    I have my mobile device in my hand, which has my Firefox data on it. I can't find the sync key. It is telling me to go to "sync options" on my mobile device, but that isn't available on my mobile device.
    I just want to have my bookmarks. My hard drive crashed and I am having enough problems without not being able to sync my firefox data to the new hard drive.

  • How do I move image files from my aperture library to an external hard drive?

    I want to free up space on my MacBook Pro by moving most of my image files to a new external hard drive. I want to manage these image files with Aperture as referenced files.  I've read much about importing from external drives, leaving the original image file on the external drive, and managing as a managed reference file.  But but I haven't seen anything in the literature yet that tells me how to free up space on my laptop's drive.

    The screen shot got messed up so its hard to tell what part you're asking about. But if you're asking about this part of the window:
    That's were you setup the folders that the originals will go into and how you want the originals to be named (if you want to change the way they are named)
    The Subfolder format box defines how the subfolders will be named. IN the image above the subfolders will be named by the image date. A folder for the year, a folder under that for the month and then a folder under that for the day. Then finally the original files.
    The name format sets how the originals are named. In the case above they would be named by the version name followed by a sequence number.

  • How can i transfer my photos from my phone directly onto an external hard drive?

    My desktop is full on my macbook pro, so how can i download my photos from my old iphone 3 onto an external hardrive, without putting them on iphoto?

    1. Start Image Capture on your MacBook. It may be in LaunchPad under "Other" or you can start it via Spotlight (Command + space bar).
    2. Connect your phone to the MacBook. If iPhoto starts automatically, quit iPhoto.
    3. At the bottom of the Image Capture window where it says Import To, select Other and then navigate to your external drive.

  • How many transfers can I make from imported CDs to blank CD, external hard drive, via my Mac?

    Hi! I was curious, because I heard from a friend that if we wanted to transfer a song on our computer we had ripped from an audio imported CD to a blank disc, or external hard drive, there was a certain number of times we could transfer that particular song or transfer that CD, before iTunes would no longer allow us to transfer it anymore. Is this accurate? Is iTunes equipped to only be allowed to transfer iTunes Store content to blank discs or other non-Apple devices, as opposed to non-iTunes Store content (i.e. songs from audio CDs that were imported into the Mac)?
    If it is accurate that there is a limited number of transfers that can be done via iTunes with non-iTunes store content, is there a way around this? Possibly install another music program that allows unlimited transfers to blank discs and external hard drives, i.e. Windows Media Player?
    Thank you for your time.

    There is no limit for CDs you have RIP'd.
    For iTunes purchases with DRM, you are limited to burning a specific playlist 7 times to an audio CD.
    And the link posted above is three years old and irrelevant at this time.
    Just don't "share" (illegally transfer) files with others.

  • How do I create an account from a home folder already on the hard drive?

    I did the archive and install option after my Microsoft Office starting acting up. Unfortunately, it had an error about half way through, leaving my old accounts under the "Previous Systems" folder without migrating them. I managed to do a fresh install of Tiger on the drive, and can see the user folder fine.
    How do I take that user's folder and create an account out of it? The migration assistant doesn't see it because it is on the same volume. Can I just drag the folder to the "users" folder on Machintosh HD?

  • How can I keep Lightroom 5 from taking up space on my local hard drive?

    I have a relatively large photo catalog (200k photos +) that I am in the process of paring down with the help of Lightroom 5.  Along the way I have kept certain groups of photos published to Flickr using Smart Photosets so that if I eliminate a duplicate photo from the catalog I will be able to "re-publish" and eliminate that duplicate from the published collection.
    My Catalog Files, My Backups, and the actual image files that are referenced in the catalog are all located on an external drive.  I did this so that I could have everything on one drive for the time being while I eliminate a ton of photos from the catalog.
    The issue that I am running into is that while a collection is being published to Flickr I get a message popping up telling me that I am low on disk space on my local (C) drive and that I need to free up some space.  This is odd because everything is located on the external drive (catalog and image files) and I am publishing to Flickr.
    I am just trying to figure out if there is a default somewhere that is causing Lightroom to create new thumbnails or previews somewhere on my C drive while I am publishing images to Flickr or something like that.  Any idea what sort of data might be accumulating in the process here?  And is there anyway to move it all or eliminate it for the time being while I am finishing the elimination of duplicate files from my catalog?
    Thanks!

  • I need to bring bookmarks from 1 computer, using Firefox, to another - also using Firefox. Is there a 'bookmarks' file somewhere on computer A that I can move to B? If so, where do I put it ? If not, what do I do? Thanks.

    That's all the detail I have.

    You can also use the most recent JSON (bookmarks-xxxx-xx-xx.json) backup in the bookmarkbackups folder and copy that file to the other computer to restore bookmarks.

  • How can I recover my files from a My Book Essential 3TB external hard drive?

    The hard drive was no longer showing up on the desktop or Disk Utility even after changing cables and power supplies. So I tried another remedy and took out the hard drive of the Western Digital case and put it in a Rosewill external case. Still no luck. The only thing that shows up on the Disk Utility is what I assume is probably the external case itself but it doesn't detect the hard drive. Are the files recoverable? Will a program like DiskWarrior work? I am a little irked by the price especially if it will not work for my situation. Please help! Thank you!

  • How to copy AAC format to another hard drive but leave apple lossless

    I've created duplicates of my mostly Apple lossless files as AAC versions in iTunes 11.1.4, that bit was easy. Now I only want to copy the AAC files and the folder structure to an SD card to play in Golf Mk VII that won't accept cable connection of an iPod. Finder sees all files as mpeg4 so I can't filter them in finder.
    How do I go about this?

    iTunes Preferences > Advanced, and set "iTunes Media folder location" to a new temporary place.  Now do the conversions to AAC.
    This puts the new AAC files in their own Artist/Album folders, not intermingled with the Apple Lossless originals. 
    Now, you can simply copy over those entire folders to your SD card.
