How do I link my Favorites in 'My Computer' to the Favorites Menu in Mozilla Firefox?

I do not have a back-up to restore them from, but they are all in 'My Computer'.

There's a great addon that takes care of that for you: http://www.iosart.com/firefox/plainoldfavorites/
I've been using "Plain Old Favorites" through about the last 6 versions of Firefox ... since something like 3.6.12. It works great. You can access your computer favorites directly from the Firefox strip menu item, 'Favorites'.

~~I'm using Firefox 4.0.1 on top of Windows XP Professional.

  • My iphone is registered to my old macbook.  How do I link it to my new computer?  I can't add any new music to it.

    My iphone is registered to my old macbook.  How do I link it to my new computer?  I can't add any new music to it.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How do you receive a call on your computer with the new OS X?

    How do you receive a call on your computer with the new OS X?

    The following quotation is from http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/continuity/
    The link shows a picture of the Notification. Below it says there is "nothing to set up" but I believe that you need to have FaceTime activated (signed in) on both devices as there is a setting on iPhone/iPad in Settings > FaceTime where you turn "iPhone Cellular Calls" on/off.
    Sometimes when your iPhone rings, it’s not where you are. Maybe it’s charging in another room. Or it’s buried in your backpack. But your Mac or iPad is sitting right there. Now you can make and receive phone calls on those devices as long as your iPhone running iOS 8 is on the same Wi-Fi network. Incoming calls show the caller’s name, number, and profile picture. Just click or swipe the notification to answer, ignore, or respond with a quick message. And making a phone call from your iPad or Mac is just as easy. Simply tap or click a phone number in Contacts, Calendar, or Safari. It all works with your existing iPhone number, so there’s nothing to set up.

  • Hello how can i transfer photo for my old computer to the new one

    hello how can i transfer photo for my old computer to the new one

    If your computers are connected to the same network, you can turn on Sharing to allow you to see the contents of one from the other and do transfers. If there is no network, you can use "target disk mode" explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13842
    Otherwise, you will need to use external storage such as a USB flash drive.

  • How do I change Text Colour in a Spreadsheet?  The Help menu doesn't help.

    Simple question whcih i cannot find the simple answer to:  How do I change Text Colour in a Spreadsheet?  The Help menu doesn't help.

    Hi Lecia,
    You have several choices.
    Use the first set of controls in the Format Bar. One of these is a Color well (red in the image). Select the cell(s) in which you want the text coloured, then click the well to open its Color palette, and choose your colour.
    Use the Text Inspector. Open the inspector, click the Text button (T), and use the tools there (similar to the set in the Format Bar).
    Press command-T to open the Fonts Window. This offers a few more options than are available in the Inspector or the Format bar.
    Regarding "Help": I'd recommend using the Numbers '09 User Guide, which you can download via the Help menu. Easier to search, and easier reading than the individual Help articles. search 'text color' to quickly get to instructions on applying colour to text.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Thanks for the Firefox 4 upgrade. Here is my concern - Previously, the "Check for updates" option is found under the Help menu. In Firefox 4, I cannot find this option; how will we be able to check if there are available updates?

    Previously, the "Check for updates" option is found under the Help menu. In Firefox 4, I cannot find this option; how will we be able to check if there are available updates?
    Can this new version update itself automatically? How do I set this option?

  • HT1420 I can not find "authorize my computer" in the store menu.  How do I authorize my new computer?

    I can't find the "authorize my computer" in the store menu. I want to access my Itunes music. How do I authorize my new computer?

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • I am new to this. How do I get my movie from my computer to the tv. I have apple tv.  I am really dumb when it comes to this stuff.

    I am new to this. How do I get my movie from my computer to the tv. I also have apple tv.

    In iTunes turn on homesharing.
    On your ATV turn on homesharing.
    The ATV should then see your computer as long as you enter the same id on both machines.
    Your content should then appear under the computer setting on the ATV, then watch away...

  • I want to transfer/sync my "favorites" from Internet Explorer 9 to Fire Fox, which only offers "Bookmarks." How do I import my favorites from Explorer to Firefox?

    I was unable to view Comcast videos, only, using IE 9, and a Comcast tech came out to my home to troubleshoot the problem. He could not resolve the issue within IE9 and I am operating from a Lenovo Laptop model type R500. The tech suggested that I use Mozilla Fire Fox for several reasons: 1) Fire Fox provides better security; and 2) it fixed the problem of me not being able to view Comcast videos, which I can not view in Fire Fox but not IE. I can most videos in both browsers, just now Comcast videos in IE. I have used IE for many, many years and have important websites stored in my IE "favorites" feature, but when I transferred usage to Fire Fox only my Bookmarks imported and not my "Favorites." How can I get my "Favorites" easily imported into Fire Fox?

    Dear mbrubeck: Thank you for so quickly responding to my question and I was able to import my favorites based on your help -- thank you for your generous spirit of volunteerism to assist me. The only thing that has seemed to have become problematic, is that after I followed the instructions and successfully imported my favorites from IE9 into FF 5.0, the bookmark symbol, formally located on the right upper hand corner of the FF page next to the "home" button has disappeared and I do not know how to make it return, so that I can easily access my bookmarks. Any ideas on how to get that icon to return? Thank you again for your assistance, as I am brand-spanking new user of MFF. Thank you again for your help and if you can help figure this one last quirk, I would be most appreciative. TH

  • How do I get my Favorites from IE9 to Firefox

    I just downloaded Firefox because my son does not like IE which I have used since I had a computer. I checked the places when I downloaded but I did not get my favorites from IE Please help me. They are important.

    The most trouble-free way to do it is in two steps: export from IE to a specially formatted HTML file, and then import that HTML file into Firefox. Here are a pair of "how to" articles for reference:
    IE: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Import-or-export-favorites-in-Internet-Explorer Import or export favorites in Internet Explorer]
    Firefox: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Importing%20Bookmarks%20from%20an%20HTML%20File Importing Bookmarks from an HTML File | How to | Firefox Help]
    Any luck?

  • How do You Link to Archived Sites, or files, on the Server via the Wiki?

    I've saved an archived site to workgroup/sites/www.archivedaite.org/. What I want to be able to do is to put a link on my wiki to pick up the index page within this archived site.
    I've tried to use "file:///volumes/groups/workgroup/sites/www.archivedsite.org/index.php.html". While this works fine in the browser location bar, the wiki won't accept it. By this I mean that even if I go in and edit the HTML the wiki deletes the link when you save the page.
    Could I save the file to the "Sites" folder on the server for one of the userers (like the serveradmin one), as a work around?

    Sadly I am having the same issue, and there is nothing in the control center that helps. In previous versions of iOS, I could easily listen to podcasts or my iTunes library though my Bluetooth headset. Double pressing the home button would bring up controls at the bottom of the iPhone screen and to the far right would be an icon where I could select the audio device I wanted. If there was a Bluetooth device synched to the phone, I could choose to listen to the music either via my phone's speakers or via the Bluetooth. This option does not exist anywhere anymore. I just hooked up my Bluetooth (finally got around to it since upgrading) and when playing music either from my phone's internal memory or via iTunes radio, it just comes out over the iPhone's speakers. There is no way to select any other option. Hopefully they'll fix this in 7.0.5.
