How to retrieve deleted firefox history

I recently deleted a day's worth of history which I really need to get back. I tried downloading index.dat viewer, but that did not bring anything up. I have searched and searched the internet, but can not find an answer, although I do read everywhere it is not permanently deleted.

In Firefox it is permanently deleted when you delete the history. The index.dat file is used by IE and not by Firefox. Firefox uses a SQLite database file named places.sqlite to store the history and the bookmarks. You would need to restore an older copy of this places.sqlite file to recover the deleted history.
You can try to restore a previous version of the places.sqlite file if there is one with a promising date/time stamp.<br />
Make sure to first backup the bookmarks because those will be restored as well.
*Right-click: Properties > Previous Versions

    How to retrieve deleted web history.

    If it's firefox, the complete setup is in ~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles.  You can just go get the whole Profiles directory off of a Time Machine backup, grabbing a time slice that was before you deleted the stuff.

    If you have a Mac that is signed into your account and you are using Time Machine to back up your Mac, you can recover the deleted document using Time Machine.  Otherwise, without a backup souce there is no way to recover it.

  • How can I delete the history of wireless connections?  Need to delete it entirely, as I have a new airport extreme and I named the network the same as it had previously been,

    How can I delete the history of wireless connections?  I got a new apple extreme, and I kept that same network name as I previously had with the LinkSys.   Now the Mac won't automatically connect to the network.  Genious Bar fixed my Pro, they said that you have to delete all the history, not just the network name.  I wasn't at the Genious Bar to see how they did it, now I need to fix the Mac.  Appreciate any help!

    Yes, so...
    I have also closed iTunes, reset network settings on the iPad, then shut down and restarted the iPad. Still, I end up with greyed out rectangular icons for all the movies I've ever streamed from my Mac Mini to my ipad via my home wireless router.
    Again, I have watched all the way to the end of the movie, selcted the movie in iTunes and chosen "mark as watched", and then deleted it in ITunes.
    Any ideas?

    HOW I CAN DELETE FIREFOX ON MY IMAC

    Hello, it seems that you can mirror your Mac desktop on your Apple TV if you have a very recent Mac and OSX Mountain Lion. The other alternative is the very efficient third party software called Air Parrot (http://airparrot.com/)
    I've just started using it with my Mabook pro Mid 2010 running on Mountain Lion. It works perfectly well and only costs 10$... Hope it can help

  • Please can someone explain how to retrieve deleted text, I was clearing old text when one came through at the same time so was also deleted.

    Can someone please tell me how to retrieve deleted text. i was clearing old texts when a new one came through at the same time and was deleted also.  My last update was  iOS 8.1.2

    You restore from a backup that was created after the text was received but before it was deleted.
    But if you literally deleted it right after it came in, then it's not recoverable.  Have the other person resend the text.

  • How can I delete Firefox? Will history from previous browser still be there?

    I just downloaded Firefox as my browser and decided I would prefer a different browser.
    My questions are -- How do I uninstall Firefox?
    Also, if I uninstall Firefox, will I still have the history, favorites, etc. from previous browsers?

    If you go with clean uninstallation, it will remove everything from your system
    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean Uninstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.
