How to restore bookmarks prior to crash

Mazilla crashed yesterday. The bookmarks are no there. When I try to restore, the only dates available are 9/21 and 9/22. I need the back up from 9/20, or earlier

Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
There would normally 10 JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder. 
If you have less then check that Firefox didn't create a new profile at some time.

Bookmarks intact, but Bookmark Sidebar is empty. How to restore bookmark list in sidebar?

My bookmarks are intact in the Library window, but the Bookmark Sidebar is empty. I don't remember when or how it occurred. I would like to restore my bookmarks to the Sidebar location. Thank you.

I found that after Firefox v29, a LOT of my settings and 
add-ons were changed / reset. Try this; 
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
 While you are in safe mode; 
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. 
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''. 
Then check ALL of your settings. Browser and add-ons. Then restart.

FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild your
extensions individually into installable .xpi files. 
It will also make backup of files that you choose. *

Palm 755 how to restore a prior version of hotsync or a backup

I had a system that crashed, and through recommendation from verizon, I downloaded the newest version of palm, did a hotsync but the sync that is now showing is like 6 months old, I need to restore to the most current hotsync done just prior to the new file being installed, can you help me?
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Verizon)

Okay, Thanks! Here's the steps that you will need to follow in order to possibly recover your data from your most recent hotsync. Go to Start=> My Computer=> Programs=> Palm=> (Your chosen username folder, this is the username thats used to store all of your data in Palm Desktop)=> Next, Go into all of the Conduit Folders that you use to store data(such as calendar, address, task, memo's)=> click inside of each of the conduit folders and change for example( inside the address folder you will see two(2) files, one named "ADDRESS.BAK" and the other "ADDRESS.DAT" ; You will need to rename the "ADDRESS.BAK" to "ADDRESS.DAT" and "ADDRESS.DAT" to "ADDRESS.OLD"
You will need to follow the example I have listed above for each individual conduit (calendar, address, task, memo's...etc) Remember that all files listed as
address.dat becomes .old------------address.bak becomes .dat
Hope this Helps!

How to restore sys after disk crash

Have HP Pavillion dv9500 laptop with Vista Op System. I had disk crash. Not recoverable. No recovery disks. I have ordered a refurbished exact same disk drive 120GB. How do I reload operating system onto refurbished disk and get system operable? I have a windows 7 home op system disk and license. Can I install the windows 7 or do I have to find a vista op system? What are the steps required to make laptop operable again?
Thanks.

Hi,
I don't know the damage of the old HDD therefore can't not say much. Now you've got new HDD, new OS (Windows 7 disc), my suggestion: install Windows 7 to new HDD from scratch and work out how to recover data/files on the old HDD. If no physical damage, you can recover data from it then use it as an external HDD such as put it in an enclosure.
Happy New Year.
BH

How to restore bookmarks after fully uninstalling?

Hello, I accidentally fully uninstalled my firefox and cleared all the settings but I forgot to backup my bookmarks. Can I recover my bookmarks? I need them cause lots of important materials for my work was bookmarked there. Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated. And I used Iobit Uninstaller in advanced mode to uninstall firefox. Please help.

Best is to first find and undelete the previous profile folder and then undelete the bookmarkbackups folder in it with the JSON backups (bookmarks-####-##-##.json)
If you can recover an uncorrupted JSON back then you can use it to restore the bookmarks.
