How to backup, export & import browser history?

I wish to undertake a removal & then a subsequent reinstallation of FF. However, I wish to retain the browser history _as is_ (though not in JSON form) & import this to the newly reinstalled version.
Can I do this? If so, how?
My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate.

The only way to backup history is to copy history items to a bookmarks folder and export them that way. 
Firefox only keeps backups of the bookmarks and not of the history.

How do I export my browsing history from one computer to another?

I am using a new laptop and want to export my whole browsing history inc. bookmarks, cookies etc from the old one to the new. Can this be done? I am using Firefox 4 and Windows 7, but am no longer able to connect to the internet on the old one.

You can do that by copying the relevant data files from the profile folder on the old computer to the equivalent folder on the new computer. For details of the files to copy and the location of the profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile

How do I export/import keyboard shortcuts to a text file

How do I export/import keyboard shortcuts to a text file?
It would be nice to export them, edit and/or add to them in a text editor on my iMac, then import them back into iPhone and iPad.

You can backup the bookmarks to a file, then copy that file to the new computer and import them, for details see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]].
You can copy more than just the bookmarks. The user data, such as bookmarks and passwords, are stored in the profile folder. You can copy the data manually by copying the contents of the profile folder, for details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup Profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] or [[Backing up your information]].
There are some add-ons and utilities that can make this process easier. The first one is the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109/ FEBE] add-on which can be used to copy a profile. Another option is the free [http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ MozBackup] utility.

How do I clear the browsing history on my iPad?

How do I clear the browsing history on my iPad 2?

Settings > Safari > Clear History (and Clear Cookies And Data if you want to clear them as well).
If you also want to clear your search history (i.e. the words/phrases that you've typed in the search box) then you may also need to close Safari completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

About How to delete STMS - imports- goto- history- import history log

Hi guys:
How to delete STMS ->imports->goto->history->import history log ?

Hi,
Sap recommends:
Use
Over time, a large number of potentially large files can accumulate in the subdirectories cofiles, data, and log of the global transport directory. These contain important information, but they also require space and become obsolete.
Procedure:
To generate a list of all deletable files in these directories, enter the command tp check all. Files are considered deletable when the accompanying request is not marked for import into an SAP System. The list that is generated is stored as the check.log log file in the tmp subdirectory and can be read.
If you want to test the command tp clearold all, enter the command tp testold all. tp testold all simulates the actions performed by tp clearold all and writes the results to the file testold.log. This file is in the subdirectory tmp. The log file contains details of the actions of tp clearold all when cleaning up the transport directory.
To delete files from the subdirectories cofiles, log, and olddata, and to move files from the subdirectory data to the subdirectory olddata, enter the command tp clearold all. (This command works using the list generated in step 1.) The tp clearold all command writes the results to the clearold.log log file. This file is located in the tmp subdirectory.
For more information on the parameters for these commands, see Transport Profile. To get the current values, use the command tp showparams <sapsid>.
You do not need a connection to the database to execute the commands that are mentioned above. The function is independent of the installed SAP R/3 release.
Pl follow the link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/3d/ad5d384ebc11d182bf0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm.
Hope this fulfils your need.
Pl award suitably.
Regards

How can I print my browsing history?

For tax purposes I have to account for how many of my web searches are personal and how many are related to business. So I need to print a list of all of the web pages I have searched.
Thanks

The above posted steps wouldn't give you the browsing history.
Firefox doesn't have a way to save (backup or export) the history.
The only possibility you have is to copy and paste history items to a bookmarks folder.
You can look at this NirSoft utility:

You can make Firefox 3 create an automatic HTML backup (''bookmarks.html'') when you exit Firefox if you set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML] to ''true'' on the '''about:config''' page.
That backup is created by default in the profile folder as bookmarks.html, but you can set the file name and path via the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.file browser.bookmarks.file] on the about:config page.

How to find less recent browsing history?

Browsing history in Firefox goes back to the latest 3 months. Since I lost some data, I need to go further back in time. I find help pages mentioning that firefox keeps browser history and buffer or cache and how to clear them, but not how to find it.

Sorry but the History is only really kept in one file and not backed up. In future consider
# bookmarking more items.
#ensuring you back up bookmarks manually occasionally [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_manual-backup]]_manual-backup
#* or sync them onto another device [[Firefox Sync - Take your bookmarks, tabs and personal information with you]]
Unless you have been clearing/not saving History, have an enormous, number of bookmarks, or only started using Firefox recently I may have expected you to have a longer period of saved History.
The cache is unlikely to help,it is accessible by typing into the address bar ''about:cache'' The information is not very user friendly. There may be addons available that present the information in a better way (Recent changes may stop many such addons from functioning)

Can anyone please Tell me how to get a complete browser history including Date and TIME?

I really need help finding out what time a website was visited that is in the browsers history. How can I get a complete browser history or set the iPhone to keep longer than a week. Is there a way to look back further than the dates shown? IOS there a app you can download that will keep track of safaris browser history and what time a site was accessed ? Thank you for your help:)

Sorry, this just isn't possible.

4.test run will effect the prd system.(ie client wants to lock during the client copy testing..)
5.what are the other things i want to follow.
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: rameshsrina on Mar 21, 2011 4:57 PM

You may want to do the client copy when users are not working on the system. For the client export/import, source system can be used as soon as export process is ready. You can use reports like RSSPACECHECK for the size of client. Client copy export/import timings depends on your hardware configuration, database size etc. You will need to decide on client copy profile before starting the export.
You may want to refer to the following SAP notes:
SAP Note 552711 - FAQ: Client copy
SAP Note 489690 - CC INFO: Copying large production clients
SAP Note 118823 - CC-ADMIN: Size of a client
SAP Note 24853 - CC-INFO: Client copy, functionality

The recommended way is to export the User Manager configuration template out (using the AdminUI), import it into your new enviroment (again using the AdminUI - you have to type the password of the LDAP user in since it is not exported) and then initiating an LDAP Synch.
