How do I restore firefox, saving previous bookmarks, by the least drastic method

Within the last several days, I have received on Firefox a Norton Alert as to higher memory usage, a stop error blue screen message concerning drivers and possibly unrecoverable hardware damage and another Alert this time concerning CPU usage. In an unrelated develoopment, I unplugged most of my cables in order to move computer away from my window due to the rainstorm. ( but later checked the cables) I also dropped the modem twice ( it still indicates things are working) I got online on Firefox but I could not get sound. I followed the step by step recommendations from EHow.com to determine what was wrong with the sound but could not get any. I decided to try"Driver Tool from SafeCart., but when they wanted to charge me plus taek my personal info I did not run the program. Finally, I hit upon the idea of solving the problem by eliminating currently operating files from Windows TAsk Manager. I deleted only one the one at the top, the most recent: " plugcontainer.exe. " That was enough. Needless to say, the action didn't restore my sound; it only crashed the firefox. I'm on IE now. I can't do Firefox. Whenever I try I get crashreport. I belive I have the latest or near the lastest version. Any help especially in selecting what is more likely to be relevant and what isn't from anyone will be greatly appreciated,

a little by-pass way !
download chrome because it has "import data from another browser" , ie9 it has not.
after downloading and install heat the FRENCH KEY then OPTIONS then in Preference go to PERSONAL STUFF then BROWSING DATA and IMPORT DATA FROM ANOTHER BROWSER then import FAVORITE-BOOKMARKS from FIREFOX. If all is ok you have it in chrome that mean you don't lost it. BUT i don't now how to import FIREFOX with this after re-install it.
i hope i help !
by the way plugin-container.exe is essential for firefox
than you

  • How do I restore Firefox base after reinstalling Windows , but I have file system safe(all program folders)?

    How do I restore Firefox base after I reinstalled Windows , but I have my system and program old folders safe. ( exact Firefox Application and Program Files folders etc)?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

  • How can I display all of my bookmarks along the left side of my browser window like earlier versions of Firefox?

    I like the bookmarks on the left side of the screen. I don't want to be navigating through a tree of all of my various bookmarks. How can I display all of my bookmarks along the left side of my browser window like earlier versions of Firefox?

    View > Sidebar > Bookmarks (Ctrl+B)
    Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.

  • Firefox 6 forces you to log into e-mail again & again, since you can't view an e-mail & simply close that tab.. I want to close the tab, not exit the function I am in. How do I uninstall Firefox 6 & go back to the previous version?

    With Firefox 6, you can't close the tab you are in and remain in the program; opting to close one e-mail means you are forced to exit the (e-mail) program completely and then go back into it...this is ridiculous if you are trying to read all your e-mails...not have this issue. How do I uninstall Firefox 6 & go back to the previous version?

    I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
    Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
    Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
    If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
    No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site?

  • Using Firefox 3.6.20 and Windows XP Home SP3. Firefox sporatically deletes bookmarks from the bookmarks toolbar. Additionally, when I try to import from a saved HTML file, Firefox does not import the complete file. Results are inconsistent.

    Using Firefox 3.6.20 and Windows XP Home SP3. Firefox sporatically deletes bookmarks from the bookmarks toolbar. Additionally, when I try to import from a saved HTML file, Firefox does not import the complete file. Results are inconsistent.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • I back up everyday and then my iphone synced before i could restore, how do I restore to a previous backup

    I back up everyday so that I can have piece of mind to restore, but my itunes synced and updated the backup to the way my phone was before I had the chance to do anything. How can I restore to a previous backup?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup to put everything on the new computer.

  • HT4859 My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox.  I kept getting a IMAP error.  How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

    My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox.  I kept getting a IMAP error.  How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

    It may be that the process you used to change the iCloud ID created these issues.  What I would suggest you do is the following:
    If you have any photo stream photos on your device that you want to keep, save them to your camera roll by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.
    Go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into your iCloud account and check to confirm that your data is all there.
    Assuming your data is on icloud.com, go to Settings>iCloud on your device, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted.  This will only delete the account and your synced data from your device but not from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
    Go to Settings>iCloud, sign back in with the correct iCloud ID and password and turn your iCloud data syncing preferences back on.  This will sync your iCoud data back to your device and recreate your iCloud email account.
    Try your Mail again and see if it works properly now.

    How do I restore to a previous backup?

    Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial device setup process.  If you have any newer data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  When you're done, go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  Then go through the setup screens on your phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  Be sure it is connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

  • How do I keep Firefox from asking to install the Flash plugin (which I don't want) ?

    Using Firefox 26.0 for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0
    How do I disable Firefox from requesting to download the Flash plugin every time I visit a site with video content?
    Frequently I visit sites that have some video content; 99% of the time, I'm not interested in seeing the video; if interested, will download it and play it locally with my own video player (not Flash). Some sites
    will let me play the video even without Flash.

    Go to your address bar and type "about:config", press Enter, in search bar, type "plugin.state.flash", on the option that will appears double click or click with right button mouse and click and "Edit...", then change its value to 0 (never active)
    0 <-- Never active.
    1 <-- Ask to active.
    2 <-- Default, always active.
