How to export/import prefs.js? Copying the file doesnt work

I want to export/import about:config changes. The paths is "Firefox/Profiles/i63866ho.default-1384517947097/prefs-js". I copied prefs.js, all the content of the folder "i63866ho.default-1384517947097" and "Profiles" folder also. Nothing worked. When I copied prefs.js it didnt do anything and comes back to the old/first prefs.js after restarting firefox. When I copy the folder it says it cannot be done.
Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot

Thank you for the info.
I finally got the way, no need to change profiles.ini
I was as close as far from getting it. I was replacing Profiles folder when firefox was open. But firefox must be closed, I must copy all the content from the extrange named folder inside Profiles, replacing it for the content of the new one after restoring.
1. Set firefox with all changes on about:config, extensions, tabs, etc that I like, and then close it, cmd+q
2. Copy all content from the extrange folder in Profiles (something like niwxnm2h.default-1384723124135)
3. Open firefox and restore it, closing it again when it restarts.
4. Now, being firefox closed, replace the content from the new extrange folder by the old / copied.
5. Done, just start firefox.
So now I have two copies, with changes on about:config and with about:config and extensions.

  • How to start a database by copying the files(tablespace, redo, ctl files)

    Hi,
    I have two databases called Q1 and Q2. I am planning to copy from a cold backup files from Q1 to Q2 database.
    could anybody will provide the steps involved in how to copy from one database to another and how to rename the target database after copying and renaming the files in the target database to up and run?
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    For Oracle version from 9i the steps are :
    Perform Cold Backup of the Production database
    1. Note down the datafile, controlfile and redologfile locations on proddb
    2. Shutdown the production database Ensure clean shutdown.
    3. Copy the database files (datafiles, logfiles, controlfiles and parameter file) into the clone destination.
    4. Modify the parameter CONTROL_FILES in the pfile for clonedb to reflect
    the new path of the control files.
    1. Mount the database and rename the datafiles and redolog files.
    export ORACLE_SID=clonedb
    DB02> sqlplus / as sysdba
    DB02> startup mount
    DB02> alter database rename file '/u01/<path_to_proddb_files>/<filename>' to '/u01/<path_to_clonedb_files>/<filename>'
    2. Rename the database with the dbnewid (nid) utility
    3. Edit the pfile and update the new database name
    Modify parameter DB_NAME to reflect the new database name.
    also ensure you make necessary changes to the environment for ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME
    as needed.
    4. Open the clone database.

  • TS1702 I cannot contact the vendor the link page is false, how do i get my money back the app doesnt work

    I bought igtalk pro in good faith but it doesnt work, i cannot see any incomming messages and when i click the links the app crashes. When you try to "report a problem" the page is all about photos and solitare and no thing even in english its a jappanise or chinese site. how do i get my money back when i went through to i tunes it said contact vendor, well i cant as no links to vendor.
    Thanks in advance.

    When you say that you went through iTunes do you mean the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history, and on that did you say that you couldn't find any support from the developer ? If not then you could try that : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • How to export &import the OSS note?

    Hi Team?
    How to export &import the OSS note?

    Dear Jagadish,
    Download SAP Notes from the SAP Service Marketplace and upload them in Note Assistant.
    Start Note Assistant (transaction SNOTE).
    Download the SAP Note from SAPNet - R/3 Frontend. To do this, choose "SAP Note Download" (Ctrl + F8) and enter the relevant SAP Note number. The downloaded SAP Note appears in your worklist under the category New.
    Read the SAP Note!
    Check whether the SAP Note entails manual activities. (See also answers to questions concerning ABAP Dictionary objects and messages.)
    If this is the case, first perform the manual activities.
    Implement the SAP Note. To do this, choose Implement SAP Note. During implementation, Note Assistant may download prerequisite SAP Notes that must be implemented before.
    Also read and check the prerequisite notes! This is necessary, since they may also contain manual activities. If you don´t do this, the syntax check can bring up an error of the relevant field of the function module, for example.
    Reward points if it helps.

  • How can I import data in to the digital word generator in Multisim?

    How can I import data in to the digital word generator in Multisim?
    I just  received this comment from a friend, a RADAR engineer, who has just down loaded Multisim.  He has been using HP/Agilent software.  He has a work around using a piecewise linear voltage waveform with data imported from Excel but this is not really a good solution.  It would also be helpful to import data from Mathcad or equivalent.
    "I thought I was about to be impressed with MultiSim but it ended only in disappointment. There is a word generator in the simulation instrument panel which can drive the DAC with a waveform and it can have thousands of lines of values. I opened Excel, wrote the formula to generate the time and voltage points for a chirp, converted to DAC values in Hex and then went back to the word generator in MultiSim to load the values only to find that you have to enter each value manually. It doesn’t even allow you to paste in a list of values from a text file. I’m not going to type 5000 values by hand. If you get the chance to give feedback to National Instruments please ask them if the paste option can be added to the word generator. MultiSim is useful in many regards, but in this case, it left me with the impression that it is considerably limited in capability compared to what I’m used to."

    Hi,
    You can load your data automatically in the Multisim word generator. Follow these steps:
    - Save your data file (in excel .xslx ir .csv format) on your computer
    - Change the extension of the file to ".dp"
    - Double-click the word generator in Multisim and click on Set...
    - In the Settings dialog box, click on Load and then Accept
    - This will prompt you to select the .dp file you have on your computer, select it and you're good to go
    However, in Multisim you have the option of creating your own custom simulation analysis and instrument.
    I will try creating the instrument and send it back to you but it might take some time.
    Multisim and LabVIEW are very powerful in test automation, with the custom instruments you create for Multisim you don't need to export your data file into excel from LabVIEW (or MathCAD or other tools) and then reload it into Multisim. The test procedure is automated instead.
    Please check this reference design about automated simulation
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7825
    Here is how you can create your own custom measurement tool in Multisim and LabVIEW, but as I mentioned, I will create the word generator and come back to you anyways

  • How to export string in CDATA with the jaxb xml writer?

    How to export string in CDATA with the jaxb xml writer?
    It read CDATA no problem but it is lost on write.

    Found it:
    ### THIS WORKS WITH SUN JAXB REFERENCE IMPLEMENTATION. ###
    (Not tested with any other)
    In the xsd, you must create a type for your string-like element.
    Then associate a data type converter class to this new type, which will produce CDATA tags.
    Then you must set a custom characterEscapeHandler to avoid the default xml escaping in order to preserve the previously produced CDATA tag.
    Good luck.
    -----type converter-----
    import javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter;
    public class ExpressionConverter {
         * Convert an expression from an XML file into an internal representation. JAXB will
         * probably have already stripped off the CDATA encapsulation. As a result, this method
         * simply invokes the JAXB type conversion for strings but does not take any other action.
         * @param text an XML-compliant expression
         * @return a pure string expression
         public static String parse(String text) {
              String result = DatatypeConverter.parseString(text);
              return result;
         * Convert an expression from its internal representation to an XML-compliant version.
         * This method will simply surround the string in a CDATA block and return the result.
         * @param text a pure string expression
         * @return the expression encapsulated within a CDATA block
         public static String print(String text) {
              StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(text.length() + 20); //should add the length of the CDATA tags + 8 EOLs to be safe
              sb.append("<![CDATA[");
              sb.append(wrapLines(text, 80));
              sb.append("]]>");
              return DatatypeConverter.printString(sb.toString());
         * Provides line-wrapping for long text strings. EOL indicators are inserted at
         * word boundaries once a specified line-length has been exceeded.
         * @param text the string to be wrapped
         * @param lineLength the maximum number of characters that should be included in a single line

  • How to export&import data using sql *loader

    Hi all,
    How to export&import data from sql*loader. Give me the clear steps..
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi did you already exported data from SQL SERVER? if not using SQL*LOADER you cannot export data. SQL*LOADER is only mean for importing data from flat files(usually text files) into ORACLE tables.
    for importing data into oracle tables using sql*loader use below steps
    1) create a sql*loader control file.
    it looks like as follows
    LOAD DATA
    INFILE 'sample.dat'
    BADFILE 'sample.bad'
    DISCARDFILE 'sample.dsc'
    APPEND
    INTO TABLE emp
    TRAILING NULLCOLS
    or for sample script of control file search google.
    2) at command prompt issue following
    $ sqlldr test/test
    enter control file=<give control file name which you create earlier>
    debug any errors (if occured)

  • I have on iPad iPhoto, how do i import to my mac the albums that i created on the iPad iPhoto?

    I have on iPad iPhoto, how do i import to my mac the albums that i created on the iPad iPhoto?

    Here's a Mac World article that may help. Still not perfect but will help transfer edited photos. If done in groups you can re-create the Albums on the Mac.
    http://www.macworld.com/article/2010727/the-ultimate-iphoto-workflow.html
    Basically the process requires "Sharing to iTunes" through the iPad's app then syncing with iTunes. The shared photos will be found in the File Sharing section of the Apps tab of it's sync settings, not the Photos syncing tab.
    The other method is to save your edited photos to Camera Roll and import through iPhoto on the Mac or Photo Stream. Once again you'll need to do it in groups to save your Albums then recreate them on the Mac.
    I should also mention I have yet to use iPhoto on the iPad and there could very well be a better method out there. I have been researching for the best work flow to copy photos from my iPad which will be copied to the iPad with the camera connection kit, organized and edited on the iPad then copied in that state to my Mac once I get home. I like the idea behind Photo Journals while traveling and was disappointed to find they can not be saved, backed up or viewed through iPhoto on the Mac. I'm sure there are easier work flows but this is probably close to the route I will be taking.
    Any other input?

    I think there are third-party programs which will do that, but you can also do it with Automator:

    The file or clipboard contents will be in Tab Separated vars, so you'll have to open with a spreadsheet program and save as Comma Separated Vars format.
