How do I restore from a backup Firefox prefs and bookmark after a complete reinstall

My Mac HD software got damaged and I have to do a complete system reinstall. I have a complete backup using Time Machine and want to restore all my Firefox bookmarks and prefs, especially all the stored usernames and passwords. Where do I find the right files? I assume when I have the files, I just copy them into the new software, right?
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

  • HT4859 How do I restore from a backup after the initial setup?

    My phone died and I got a new one from the store.  I didn't remember what my account was and we started up the phone without my appleid.   Now I'd like to restore from a previous backup.  How can I do that?

    Go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.
    Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

    First, prior to connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and disable automatic syncing (iTunes>Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically").  Now connect your phone, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on its name and choose Restore from Backup.  When done, you can go back and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefer this.

  • IPhone app (shapewriter) is corrupted. App's no longer in the Store. How can I restore from my backup?

    An iPhone app that I love has become corrupted. This app is no longer available in the Store. Can I restore the app from my phone backup? How? Anything to watch out for?
    Shapewriter was purchased by Nuance. As most Dragon users will tell you, Nuance treats its customers badly; apparently it does the same to companies it buys. Soon after they bought Shapewriter, they took it down from the store. Rumor has it that they just bought it as a weapon in some patent battle. Sad: it's a really cool app.

    No app on the iPod is required.                           
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    iCloud: Erase your device
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • Hard disk crashed, restored data from tape backup, Firefox not showing bookmarks. What is the location of bookmarks & favourites to ensure I have restored the correct file?

    Hard disk crashed (XP), restored files from tape backup using Retrospect onto new Windows 7 laptop. Started up Mozilla after restore but bookmarks and favourites are missing.
    I still have access to the backup tape and files. I was wondering whether the bookmarks are kept anywhere special other than the Mozilla program file that I restored.

  • How can I restore from icloud backup after activating replacement phone as new

    I activated a replacement iphone 5. When I tried to restore from my iCloud backup, it said the os of the backup was not compatible with the replacement phone os so I chose the option to activate as a new phone. (Old phone was on 7 - replacement phone was sent to me with an earlier os).
    Is there any way to restore my settings from my last iCloud backup?

    Yeah - guess you're right. It just took me hours to figure out what to do/not do. New to iphones and never had to restore before. Maybe Apple could at least include the very simple instructions wjosten  posted. Would have saved me a lot of stress and time....
    Apple does provide instructions.

    Note that iTunes and iOS do not support installing backups of newer versions of iOS onto devices using earlier versions of iOS.

    iTunes displays the alert "The backup [name] cannot be restored to this [iOS device] because the software on the [iOS device] is too old."

    Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.

  • Am trying to restore from this backup (Firefox 3.6.12 (en-US) - 2010-11-18.pcv) I made but can not find out how.

    I made the backup from Firefox 3.6.12 with the backup program provided by Mozella. I made this backup from a prior computer and therefore do not have the restore program available, which is part of the backup program. I will have the same question for Thunderbird because I used the same program. PLEASE HELP!

    That backup program isn't ''from'' Mozilla, it's a 3rd party program. You probably used MozBackup to do that PCV backup.

    Sync it to iTunes or use the Restore Backup option in iTunes.

  • How do I restore from a backup

    I am interested in buying the Airport Time Capsule, on the basis that the backup-restore 'works'.  Thus, I want to understand the step-by-step procedure of what I need to do to restore my machine, which has been corrupted, from the latest backup stored in my 'new' Airport Time Capsule.  My concerns are, Anti-Virus inhibiting this to work, a poor backup (because it states that it backups 'continuously', once you have completed the 'initial' backup) and/or hardware conflict.  Is this idiot proof!!

    Read the info about Time Machine from the Guru of all TM.. Pondini.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html
    Start with how TM does its magic.
    Then look at how you backup and restore.. Q14-17 particularly on the later.
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    Then have a look at what goes wrong.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    TM is a very complex piece of software.. so we recommend people have both TM to do incremental backup and a disk image.. which enables you to quickly restore a computer to working condition.. a USB drive setup to boot the computer with a full disk image from a setup of a few months back.. can be restored and quickly updated by TM.

  • HT201250 How do I restore from Timeline external backup to a different drive?

    Good day!  Here's my current architecture
    1 MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2
    1 Lacie Rugged External Drive (1T)
    1 G Drive 2T RAID
    1 MyPassport External Drive (2T)
    I have been backing up weekly both the MacBook Pro AND the Lacie to the RAID Device. 
    Lacie Rugged: My Lacie has my iTunes.  Recently there have been issues with communicating with the Lacie.  Genius bar says there is an issue with the drive itself.  I purchased a new Firewire to troubleshoot.  Still shows that the drive accidentally disconnects (e.g. not available) after about a couple of minutes. 
    So I bought a new drive.
    Restore: When I plug in my new MyPassport and access my Timeline backups, I cannot see the Lacie backups to restore.  It seems that Timeline requires the original drive (Lacie) to be plugged in (which is the one I am having issues with).
    Question: How do I restore from a backup(Lacie) to my new external drive(MyPassport)?

    I imagine you mean Time Machine, not TimeLine. If you do mean Timeline, I have no idea what that is.
