How do I import my passwords and bookmarks from a backup on the desktop after a fresh install of the new Firefox 9

I had problems with an older version of Firefox so I backed up my passwords and backed up my bookmarks and put the backup files on my desktop and then reinstalled a the new Firefox 9.. I cannot find out how to reinstall the passwords or bookmarks into the program now.. Please advise.. Thx

Hi,
All of the links above are very old.
I have problem with restoring my saved password in Firefox 9.
The profile is no longer located %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
In windows 7 the all of the setting of Firefox 9 are located inside (Drive:\\My Documents\FireFox Settings) folder.
I have copied all of my old setting including bookmarks and cookies and they word perfectly.
However I have problem with saved passwords. I copied the files "signons.sqlite" and "key3.db" into (Drive:\\My Documents\FireFox Settings) folder but I don't have my password.
I tried to set a fresh "save password" and then replaced the files "signons.sqlite" and "key3.db" but no luck.
Please help.''' I don't like to use any utility to recover my password.''' I can't trust them. It should work with the file within my system.
Than you

  • 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 do i import my movie and dvds from my computer onto itunes. it not importing

    How do i import my movie files from my computer onto itunes? its not importing when i go to file and import files.

    If you backed the library up by drag-copying it, drag-copy it to the same location on the new computer. If you backed up an entire iTunes library, you can also drag it to any location, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and specify it.
    If you used a backup product, check that product’s documentation.
    The song files must be located on the computer’s internal drive for them to play without the external one connected. If needed, organize the library in iTunes.

  • HT201302 iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer, but I want to reverse the process and copy images from my desktop Windows PC to my new iPad Mini.  Is this possible in some more direct way than through copying several

    Instead of copying images (jpgs, etc) from my iPad Mini to my desktop PC, I'd like to do the opposite, that is, copy existing images from my PC files to my Mini without going through a multi-email process which involves resizing the images by experiment.
    I hope someday Adobe Lightroom can add this feature, but I'll settle for some simple transfer, perhaps by cable between my PC and my Mini.

    You can do it via your computer's iTunes. If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

  • My laptop crashed, how do I get my folders and everything from my laptop to my desktop firefox?

    My laptop crashed. I am trying to get the information, files, favorites, ects. to my desktop. How do you do this?

    If the music on your ipod was purchased from the itunes store, this article from the apple support website might help out.

    If the music was imported from another location, you can search yahoo, google or which ever search engine you like and search for transfer from ipod.

  • How do I transfer pictures, videos, and music from my Playbook to my desktop?

    I have downloaded Blackberry to desktop. Now I can't tranfer photos...ect Please help!!!

    The description about Jiggle does not help explain much.
    We need to talk between more than PlayBooks and Windows PCs, but we need to access various Linux boxes and a NAS box. DLNA access would be really handy, too.
    What can we use?

  • I cannot sign on to sync to get my passwords and bookmarks back after update of FF... Please help

    A few weeks ago my FF browser updated to 29.0.1 and since then I can no longer access my saved password file or bookmarks. This is extremely frustrating and I have tried everything I could figure out to try, even used my back - up to reload from a previous date with no luck. Then FF reloaded the new version again. Here is my problem. I have other devices, (Smartphone, Android tablet) that both use FF mobile on them and they have my bookmarks still. I think if I could retrieve my sync account, I could get this all back, only problem is, I have not had to use that password in years along with changing my ISP a few years back, so it does not even recognize my e-mail address. FF apparently has no phone support or at least I cannot find it and I would like to straighten this out with them. I tried reaching them on Facebook with no reply. I just don't know what to do any more and need those passwords and bookmarks ......
    PLEASE HELP ME..............................! ! ! ! !

    hello, firefox 29 has introduced a new sync system which isn't compatible with accounts set up in prior versions.
    # in this case you'd probably have to use a workaround and first download the prior firefox 28 version and disable automatic updating for the moment (in options > advanced > update): [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
    #on your android device go into the system's ''settings'' app and into ''accounts & synchronisation'' (might be worded slightly different on various android devices), go to firefox sync & tap on pair a device.
    #on your desktop go to ''firefox > options > sync > set up firefox sync > i have an account'' which will show you a 3x4 character code that you'll have to enter into your android device in order to complete the process.
    #after you have successfully restored your data this way you can upgrade to firefox 29 and probably also switch to the new sync system on all of your devices: [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]

    In Firefox 3.6 on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
    Press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar.
    Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide.
