How to restore all your bookmarks after refreshing your computer and reinstalling mozilla?

my computer started bugging and then I was obliged to restart it but the computer proposed me to refresh because my computer does not start well and I did it and i hadto reinstall mozilla. now my problem is that i lost all my bookmarks and i really want to have them back because they are important. i tried all i can to restore them but without success

If for instance you reformatted the hard dive and reinstalled the Windows 8 Operating System then unless you had a backup disk image or specific backups elsewhere of Firefox data then you will have lost your bookmarks.
It depends rather on what you did when you refreshed the computer and reinstalled Firefox.
Firefox itself tries to keep bookmark backups, and WIndows tried to keep some previous versions of files.
Please try to give more detailed information about what you did.
'''Immediately backingup your Firefox profile''' may help to preserve some of those bookmarks and backups so you should do that. Then post back and explain what you did when refreshing the computer. Try use the same jargon as was in the instructions you followed, for instance did you reformat the hard disk drive?
* [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
For future reference it may be useful to make and keep occasional manual backups of Firefox bookmarks
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_manual-backup]]'''_manual-backup'''
Do you use Firefox Sync ?

  • How do I import a bookmarks folder from another computer and add it to my existing list of bookmarks folders?

    I have two computers. One contains a folder of bookmarks that I want to transfer to the other computer and add it in. I don't want to replace all my bookmarks on the second computer with those from the first computer. How do I do this?

    Which kind of backup did you do? A backup from the Bookmarks Organizer or a backup using the program MozBackup?
    If you used MozBackup, you need to install it on the new computer to decode the backup. http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/
    If you used the Bookmarks Organizer, you might just need to add .json to the end of the file name.

  • Can you rcover your bookmarks from a downed computer and if so How?

    The Win 7 computer that I use has 3 hard drives. on the first drive is the OS, the second has all my programs installed on it, and the third just has files. The OS drive has just died but the others are still good, so I'm getting a new drive for the OS. Is there any way to save my old bookmark or are they lost with the System drive. (the drive will spin up a bit but not for long before it crashes again so if it keeps the information on the system drive with your profile and not with the installation I may be able to retrieve it.)

    Profile is a folder which store all your personal data in a safe place

  • Had to refresh my computer and reinstall TB how do I get previous emails

    Refresh resets the computer and deletes apps so I had to reinstall TB. Now I need to get the emails that I had on the previous version of TB. I have gotten as far as learning about the profiles. But it gets too complex for me to actually get the old profiles into the new TB. Please help. thx

    You can create a new profile and copy the old one over it. That would assume you actually have a backup of your profile. See

  • How to restore all inbox data after obliged to create new mail account

    After my Thunderbird account mysteriously disappeared I had to re-open another mail account. After difficulty I restored address book. But only about 30 percent of email inbox restored. How can I restore the rest, many of which were important to me.

    '''Background info to help you understand your mail account:'''
    As you saw in the Profile folder mail accounts, 'folders' you see in the Thunderbird FolderPane are actually Files; mbox files.
    Emails are downloaded to your Inbox and stored one after the other in the order they were downloaded. So, the emails are not stored as individual files, they are written into a text file which can get bigger and bigger if you do not manage the Inbox.
    Any emails you delete, from your point of view they disappear from Inbox and reappear in 'Deleted' folder (Also called Trash).
    In reality, those deleted emails are 'marked as deleted' and are still in the Inbox, but hidden. This means that if you had accidentally deleted an email, it would be easy to quickly get it back.
    However, the deleted emails are still taking up space, so to clean up the file and remove those 'marked as deleted' emails, you have to 'compact' the folder. If you do not compact your folders then you increase the possibilty of getting a corrupted file and losing emails.
    Using folders to organise emails into groups keeps the file size smaller and makes it easier to locate emails. It is also less risky. Smaller files also use less memory to open.
    '''How to create Folders:'''
    Select the mail account name in the Folder Pane. If you want to create them in 'Local Folders' account, select 'Local Folders'.
    * 'File' > 'New' > 'Folder'.
    * Give folder a name eg: Bills or Family or Friends etc
    * click on 'Create Folder' button.
    you can create as many folders as you need.
    '''How to move emails from one folder to another:'''
    There are a couple of ways to this, so you could try out the methods and choose the one you find most comfortable.
    Suggest you move one email first and then try to move a group.
    '''1. Using right click options.'''
    * Right click on highlighted/selected email in list
    * select: 'Move to' > mail account / Local Folder > select name of folder
    '''2. Using toolbar: '''
    * Select email in list so it is highlighted
    * 'Message' > 'Move to' > mail account > select: Folder'
    '''3. Drag and Drop method'''
    * Left click and keep down on hilighted email in list to grab
    * Move the mouse pointer to hover over the Folder you want; this is dragging the email,
    * Release the mouse to drop the email into that folder.
    '''How to highlight several emails:'''
    All the above methods work if you select one email or a highlighted group.
    '''To select a batch of email eg: 10 adjacent emails'''
    * click on first email
    * Press 'Shift' key and click on eg:10th email - all emails in between become highlighted.
    '''To select various emails to put them as a group.'''
    * Hold down 'Ctrl' key and use mouse to select various emails.
    '''To select all emails in folder:'''
    * click on first email in list
    * Hold down 'Ctrl' key and press 'A' - All emails will be highlighted.

  • How to restore backed up files after I used Rescue and Recovery

    Hi there lenovo community,
    so I'm struggling to find a solution on how to open these files right here:
    Link to image
    First of all, the program I used to back up my hard drive was the Rescue and Recovery that my lenovo desktop came with. I used an external hard drive (WD My Passport, specifically) to back up my old hard drive. The problem that I'm facing right now is how I can open these files, they seem to be not working with any of the option programs the "open with" thingy offers me. If anyone knows  an easy solution for this please please respond to me immediately.. I would really really appreciate it.  I have important documents there.  
    Thanks,
    Enrico

  • HT1296 how to restore a deleted calendar after sync with computer

    I wanted to back up my contacts and calendar to PC, so i changed the phone settings to syn with calendar. The outlook sync would not work so i changed back and now my calendar is gone. How can i restore it on my phone

    If you have not synced since this happened you may be able to restore it from the backup made at the beginning of the sync process.  To do this, before connecting the phone, go to iTunes>Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  Now connect the phone, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on its name and select Restore from Backup.  See if that restores the calendar.

  • I lost all my bookmarks,after switching to 3.5 silent how can i get them back?

    i lost all my bookmarks,after switching to 3.5 silent how can i get them back?

    Clarification:
    I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
    If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

  • HT1766 How can i restore all my data after deleting the apps? can i syncing back from the macbook?

    How can i restore back all my data after deleting the apps and re-install back.
    After reinstall back stll retrieve all my data.
    Can i syncing back the original frm my macbook since last update is Mar

    Favor the route via iTunes and local storage on the computer. MUCH faster than any cloudy backup, no matter the speed of your Internet connection. No network beats the speed of a hard drive. Just make sure there's enough room on the computer before you start, must contain all that's on the iGadget.

  • Reset all settings. how to recover all the bookmarks and add?

    Please, help.
    At one point, without my knowledge, reset all settings. How to restore all the tabs and add? It is very important to me! How could this happen and why? I did not do anything.

    If you have you have reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop to an "Old Firefox Data" folder.<br />
    Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.
    If you otherwise created a new profile then check if there are still other profiles present
    You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder and go back one level to go to the Firefox/Profiles/ folder.

    If you use the Time Machine then you can try to recover files there and copy them to the current profile folder.

  • How do i retreve my bookmarks after buying a new computer

    how do i retrieve my bookmarks after buying a new computer

    For other information stored in the Profile folder on your old computer.
    See: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles#How_to_find_your_profile How to find your profile] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders Show hidden files and folders]
    When copying data from your OLD profile to your NEW profile, copy individual FILES (some require more than 1 FILE). DO NOT copy the entire OLD PROFILE folder; it will not work.

    Thanks Eric,
    After inserting the original DVD I installed OSX and after reboot I had a working computer.
    There was no opportunity to restore the TM backup. however when I rebooted from the
    DVD again I saw that possibility from a menu of the install utility.
    I ran through the restore over night (8 hours) and when I woke up, I had my computer back!
    Thanks for helping me out.
