How do I view bookmarks from a saved profile from 7 months ago

I am missing some bookmarks. I must have accidentally deleted them some time ago. I have an old profile saved from 6-7 months ago that would have the missing bookmarks. How can I open one of the backup bookmarks files from the old profile or convert it to html?
I know how to export to html but that appears to not give me the option of selecting a specific file to convert. Conversion only converts existing bookmarks to html which will not help me, if I understand correctly what I have read. I know how to restore the bookmarks but my understanding is that they are then added to existing bookmarks. I don't want to do that because probably 95% of my current bookmarks are in the older much larger version I have saved in the old profile plus much more that I wanted to get rid of.
I was thinking of exporting to internet explorer, since I never use it and it has no bookmarks. I don't know how to select a specific bookmark file for export or if it is even possible to do that. If I can do that, however, I can search the bookmarks there for what I need and then add them back to FF.
Can you help we with this. Thank you for your assistance.

Do you have an HTML backup of the bookmarks?
If you only have a backup of the entire profile folder then probably only the places.sqlite file in that backup has all bookmarks.
You can open a second Firefox instance with that saved profile folder at the same time and copy the wanted bookmarks to the <u>clipboard</u> in the Library in one instance and paste them in the Library in the other instance.<br />
You can select more than one item via the normal way (Shift click for a range or Ctrl click for individual items).
Create a shortcut with this command line to start a second Firefox instance with a path to a specific profile folder (in this case the backup).
* "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -no-remote -profile "<profile_path>"
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Command_Line_Options

You can use the Profile Manager to create a new profile and copy the places.sqlite file to that profile folder or import a JSON backup.

  • How can I extract and save a color profile from an existing file?

    I've been give a tiff file with an embedded color profile from a customer. I want to be able to save that color profile for future use. I've tried various methods with no success.

    I've tried various methods with no success.
    And those were...? You need to be specific. Generally though one would simply install the profile file rather than jump hoops to extract it from an image, where it may be incomplete or lack other critical info like other profiles or specific printer or monitor information it may reference.

    Hi everyone,
    I downloaded several apps from Ovi store, but since upgrading my phone's firmware (at Nokia's request) I have lost my purchases, and can't redownload them. Does anyone know how I can access them again?
    I tried contacting Nokia support via their UK website, and initally got a very friendly response, but as my request was bounced between several departments emails became less frequent, and eventually the correspondence stopped. Furthermore, my requests for updates on their progress have been repeatedly ignored.
    That was nearly three months ago.
    I provided all the account, purchase, and technical details Nokia asked for within a few hours of Ovi support requesting them, but have had nothing in return. Does anyone know how I can get support to listen to me? If anyone from Nokia reads is reading this, could you please process my request? Or at least give me an update?
    I'm normally a huge fan of Nokia's products, but unfortunately have to report that their "support" is amongst the worst I have ever encountered.
    For the record, the apps I purchased were Tetris, Bejeweled and Best Timer.
    Regards,
    Andrew
    Hello FluidDruid,
    I have sent links to download your purchased applications Bejeweled, Tetris and Best Timer to your device. Please send me a pm if you need anything else.
    Thank you,

    Thanks!
    It's a shame that it took a post on a discussion board to get this resolved, when going through the correct channels failed, but everything is working now, so that's the main thing.

  • How can I restore Google graphic, which I removed some months ago when they tried pushing images?

    I would like to restore the Google Doodle to my Google homepage. Some months ago, when Google pushed pictures, there was a way to change a switch in Firefox to keep the pictures from showing. That also switched off the Doodle function. I'd like to know how to find the switch and what setting to use to restore the Doodle. Thanks.

    Try clicking the Google emoticon in the web address, then click ''More Information''.
    In the menu which appears, click '''Media '''and then click the Google web address to highlight it.
    Then check to see if the box to block the image is checkmarked or not.

  • My program does not recognize my DVD drive and says, " No burner available". How do I fix this? It worked until one month ago

    I have an HP Computer., approximately one year old. Since I bought the program,( about 8 months ago) it had worked correctly, but last month, I could not save projects to DVD because program said, " No burner detected" . Welcome any help as I am trying to convert Family VHS tapes to DVD.

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Assuming for now you are aiming at DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc and not AVCHD on DVD disc.
    We can try at least 3 different approaches to restore Premiere Elements burner location recognition for your DVD/CD burner (assumed not Blu-ray DVD burner).
    For now, I am going to assume Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    1. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole 12.0 Folder in which it exists.
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    12.0
    and in the 12.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then you delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
    2. Deactivate the program from within the opened project - in version 12, Expert workspace Help Menu/Sign Out. Then uninstall the program via the usual Control Panel route. Next do a ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts) to get rid of leftovers from incomplete uninstalls and reinstalls.
    CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
    Finally reinstall the program with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
    3. Refresh the DVD drivers.
    CD, DVD drive not recognized after Adobe application install | Windows
    We will be watching for your results.
    Thanks.

    Add On...at the onset, please assure that the issue still exists with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

  • How do I move bookmarks, cookies, history and settings from an old Firefox version to my new one

    I have the previous version of my Firefox from an old computer now located on my C drive. I would like to move the bookmarks, cookies, history and settings to my new Firefox (it is an upgraded version on my new computer). When I click on the File drop down, the import section can not be opened because it is not active. I have dozens of bookmarks that I would like to have loaded in my new Firefox application. I would also like to have my passwords moved to the new Foxfire application. How do I get that to happen?

  • How to load views in an MVC 5 project from a referenced DLL

    I wish to compile some controllers, models and views into a single assembly and then include it in mvc projects as needed.
    I initially tried using a class library and packaging EF6, MVC etc into the library, but the project that referenced library was unable to find and serve the views.
    I tried to write a Virtual Path Provider (using this example), but if each view does not have a unique name (eg. Index in various subfolders) then I get
    an error:
    "resource name cannot be used more than once".
    Another complication of this seems to be that even if I can get the VPP to serve the file (through treachery and deceit), the application complains:
    "'ModelType' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level."
    If I try to inherit from System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage, as reccommended in the example linked above, I get an error:
    "The 'inherits' keyword is not allowed when a 'ModelType' keyword is used."
    It seems that it is a 'close but not quite' scenario.
    I would really prefer to NOT embed the views as resources anyway.  According to
    this post I should be able to create the dlls as MVC projects themselves and then include them in other projects (Full-Fat MVC Project).  It is claimed:
    "if you follow this approach you can use the routes, controllers and views as if they were part of the main web app."
    However, when I tried this I wasn't able to get the view engine to look into the dlls.
    How can I make the view engine see the dll and the pathed views within it?

    I would recommend posting your question to the MVC sub forum under ASP.NET:

  • How do I import all folders and saved messages from another email address?

    I'm using Mac OS X. Only my inbox messages have imported. I'm trying to import from my GoDaddy email account.

    ''re : Only my inbox messages have imported.''
    This sounds like you have created a POP mail account.
    Pop mail accounts can only get access and download from server Inbox to Thunderbrd mail account Inbox. This is not a Thunderbird quirk; it is how all POP mail accounts work.
    There is a workaround.
    In Thunderbird
    * Move all good emails from Inbox to other suitable folders.
    * Delete any emails you do not want.
    * Right click on Inbox and select : 'Compact'
    Now you have an empty Inbox which will make it easier to identify emails downloaded from different folders.
    * Log on to webmail account using a browser.
    * Move all emails from one of your folders into Inbox.
    * In Thunderbird select to 'Get Messages'
    * Thunderbird will download any emails not previously downloaded to the Inbox.
    * Create a suitable folder and move all those emails into it.
    Repeat this action to move emails in other folders into webmail Inbox and then download them.
    This will get emails from server folders into Thunderbird.
    From then onwards any new mail coming into server Inbox will get downloaded to Thunderbird mail account Inbox, so this workaround would only need to be done once.
    '''Note:'''
    Pop mail accounts usually download and delete off server, so if you do not want this to occur, check this first:
    Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
    OR
    right click on mail account in Flder Pane and select 'Settings'
    then 'Server Settings' for mail account.
    * Select 'Leave messages on server'
    If you want to auto delete some emails, you can select either ot both of these options:
    * For at most xx days
    * Until I delete them
    * Click on 'OK'
    If a POP mail account does not do what you want, you would need to see if your webmail account allows 'IMAP forwarding' and select that option.
    Then create a new IMAP mail account in Thunderbird.
    This would allow you to subscribe to see any folders on the server.
    IMAP accounts mean that you get a remote view of the server folders, so anything you do in Thunderbird will also occur on the server. eg: if you delete an email in Thunderbird it will delete off server as you are seeing one in the same folders.
    In both cases it is always advisable to periodically create a backup:

  • How can I view what is on my iPod from iTunes

    I have an iPod Nano 5th gen (click wheel) - 16gb. Apparently, there is no way to view what is/is not on the iPod from iTunes. When I click on music, I can see what playlists/artists/songs are checked for syncing - but not what is currently on the device. So to check, I have to eject, look, then re-connect. Overall, i'm really happy with the iPod compared to my previous zune. But the the zune did display complete device contents, artists, songs, etc from the zune program. Seems like a no-brainer. Overall, I have to say the iPod is way better from the device standpoint - but I'm a bit disappointed with iTunes compared the the Zune program in terms of usability.

    Hello rdorfman,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    If you click the small black arrow next to your iPod's *Device Name* in the left hand pane of iTunes it should open up a submenu underneath. Go ahead and click on Music to see what songs are currently stored on your iPod.
    Is that what you are looking for?
