How to save my bookmarks in a protected folder(google has an add on for favorits which will never be deleted) in case of harddisk format or computer crashdown?

how to save my bookmarks in a protected folder(google has an add on for favorits which will never be deleted) in case of harddisk format or computer crashdown.

The built-in Firefox Sync service allows you to store your settings, including bookmarks, on a Mozilla server. This isn't accessible as a file like Google Drive; it can only be used by connecting another copy of Firefox to your Sync account. You can read more about this here: [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]] (I haven't tried it myself since it changed recently.)
The cross-browser Xmarks service is more focused: it just does bookmarks. http://www.xmarks.com/ (I've never tried this one either)
If you prefer working with files and you have a Dropbox or similar account, you could in theory back up your Firefox profile folder, or more particularly, the bookmarkbackups subfolder. I haven't tried that myself. To find the folder:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
A window should launch showing your currently active settings files. The bookmarkbackups folder should contain dated .json files which can be used to restore your bookmarks to another copy of Firefox.
Alternately, someone might have created an add-on for saving Firefox bookmarks to the cloud another way, but I haven't heard of one.

  • BI 7.0 webtemplates - How to save a bookmark

    Hi,
    In 3.x webtemplates/web reports we can save the bookmarks on the IE explorer current session directly(not going for FAVOURITES), where as in BI 7.0 webtemplates this functionality is not there.
    I want the same functionality to implement in BI 7 templates, how can I change the 7 webtemplates, so that when I click on 'Bookmark' function it should not ask me to save in Favourites, but display the created bookmark in the current IE explorer .
    Thanks & regards
    Ramesh

    You can do a Copy & Paste in the Bookmarks Manager (Shift+Ctrl+B) to create a copy of a bookmark.
    You can also drag the (fav)icon in the location bar to a folder in the Bookmarks menu drop down list or to a folder in the side bar (Ctrl+B) or to the Bookmarks Toolbar.
    In the side bar you need to click to the left of the icon to prevent Firefox from opening the bookmark.

  • How to save 2-3 doc in one folder on ipad

    How to save 2-3 doc in one folder on ipad.

    Got it figured out ... but I'll repeat it here in case it helps others.
    When I went to "Documents" it was always bringing me into a subfolder within (probably where I'd last been). And I think I had so many files in Documents from trying over and over that if I ever did end up there, I wasn't finding what I'd just opened because there were so many.
    Thanks again for your help!

  • In JS, how to save a bookmark which can open in main, not sidebar?

    I did lots of search on the web. People have been struggling with this problem for many years.
    The scenario:
    My standard_weight.php takes height parameter either from $_GET or from $POST. The web page has a form to let users type in height.
    Control-D can save the location, but not the height.
    My page is too simple to ask users to create an account and save profile.
    So I want to provide a link users can click and bookmark the current page with height.
    <pre><nowiki><script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript">
    function CreateBookmarkLink() {
    title = "my ideal weight";
    height = function_to_get_current_height_value();
    url = "http://my.site.com/standard_weight.php?height=" + height ;
    if (window.sidebar) { // Mozilla Firefox Bookmark
    window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url,"");
    } else if( window.external ) { // IE Favorite
    window.external.AddFavorite( url, title);
    } else if(window.opera && window.print) { // Opera Hotlist
    alert("Sorry, your browser doesn't support this function." );
    return false ;
    if (window.external) {
    document.write('<a onClick ="javascript:CreateBookmarkLink();">Add to Favorites</a>');
    } else if (window.sidebar) {
    document.write('<a onClick ="javascript:CreateBookmarkLink();">Bookmark Page</a>');
    } else if (window.opera && window.print) {
    document.write('<a onClick ="javascript:CreateBookmarkLink();">Add Bookmark</a>');
    </script>
    </nowiki></pre>
    When the link is clicked , a dialog will pop up and the user can save the bookmark.
    The problem is that when the bookmark is opened, it is in sidebar. The bookmark property has the check for "Load this bookmark in the sidebar."
    Asking users to clear the check is not a friendly solution.
    Is there anyway to get around this problem?
    If you google this topic, you can find that people has been struggling with this for long time. I guess that they just end up with saying "sorry, your browser doesn't support this function." on Firefox.
    Best wishes to Firefox !

  • How can you set up a password protected folder in OSX 10.8.2

    I'm trying to set up password protected folder on a new mac desktop. Version 10.8.2
    I have done this before in Mountain Lion and previous OS versions by creating a "Disk Image" in the disk utitlity. It's been easy. But in this newer version, it doesn't give me the same options that I've seen in the past nor see on many online posts. And when I try to create, it just gives me an error message saying there is not enough space, which is crazy as there is over 500GB open.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    It still works in Disk Utility (DU):
    1. Determine one file that shall be inside the DMG, e.g. one on the Desktop (obviously, you can delete it later again). say it's xyz.jpg.
    2. In DU, without a drive selected, click New Image.
    3. Expand to Finder-like view by clicking on the arrow next to Save As.
    4. Click on xyz.jpg, even if greyed out. It will show up under Save As with the .dmg suffix.
    5. In the bottom part, select Name, Size, and all other parameters. You want encryption, so pick one, then click Create.
    6. Next, enter and remember your password. Probably you will NOT want it to be remembered in Keychain...
    7. That's it: at the same location as xyz.jpg you now have xyz.dmg. In the Finder it's open, and you can manage its content until you eject it.

  • How do I move bookmarks from the imported folder,From Google Chrome, to Mozilla Favorites?

    I have imported my bookmarks from Google Chrome. A folder has been created in Favorites in Mozilla. I want to move some of the bookmarks to my Mozilla favorites.

    To quickly get to the bookmarks section of the Library dialog, you can press Ctrl+Shift+b. This should let you easily drag and drop (or cut and paste) bookmarks from the import folder into other folders.

  • How do I clean up iTunes Mobile Applications folder that has old versions of apps?

    I am using the latest iTunes 11.0.3 on my recently new iMac. Previously I had iTunes on my MacPro. The media folder was located on one of the extra (non-boot) volumes on the MacPro (MP). When I got my iMac I changed (in the Advanced section of Preferences) the location of the media folder to point to the same folder on the MP volume as I had been using. Everything seems to work fine. I can plug in my iPhone 4s and sync which goes thru a backup step.
    I was then poking around in the iTunes media folder on the MP and found that the Mobile Applications (MA) folder was full of older versions of the apps on my iPhone. They dated back to 2009, 2010 and most were 2011. A few were 2012 or 2013. I would like to get rid of the old versions as they take up space. Being that old I doubt they are useful for anything anyway. But my question is how?
    I have read and searched for other threads on this topic and have not found a solution. It appears that iTunes is supposed to toss old versions into the trash. I suspect it is doing that now but for some reason has lost track of these older version. The problem here is I don't know what happened.
    My inclination is to take all these app .ipa files and dump them... then do an iPhone sync and have it repopulate this MA folder. But I wasn't sure iTunes would do that. So I selected one app that is currently installed on my iPhone, found several older .ipa files in the MA folder that correspond to that app and deleted all of them. I then sync'd my iPhone and watched it go thru the Backup step. When it was done I checked my MA folder but it still had NO .ipa file for that app. Why is that? To make sure the backup step didn't place it someone unexpected, I did a system wide search for that app name (the core part of the name, not including any version numbers, etc) but it found only one match. It was old (2011) located on an all-together different MA folder so did not come from this iPhone sync.
    I wish someone would clearly document what goes on during an iPhone sync when the backup location is iTunes (not iCloud). Does iTunes store the current version of each app in the MA folder? I didn't see that happen in my example above.
    What does it mean to remove all .ipa files from your MA folder? It would seem that it doesn't matter EXCEPT for apps no longer available in the App Store. Otherwise I could re-install them, right?
    What can I delete safely without ill consequences?
    How can i indentify what to remove if I should keep the latest version around?
    Help would be appreciated.
    To be clear:
    * I use iTunes to store my Backups, not iCloud.
    * I have used Consolidate after making sure that Keep iTunes Media Folder Organizaed is checked and Copy File to iTunes Media folder is checked. It did not help here.
    * Given the dates of the .ipa files in my MA folder, this problem pre-dated my recent addition of my iMac.
    * I believe I'm using a new local (to my iMac) iTunes library file but my media folder is on the MP as described above. When I access iTunes app on my MP it too accesses the same media folder. It is used primarily for adding music and movies to, not iPhone apps as I now sync on the iMac.

    ITunes has been a disaster for me.  It is filled with all sorts of things and there is no way to reorganize any of it.  I'm forced to use iTunes because I have an iPhone but the experience has convinced me that it is best to avoid Apple products and I would recommend that course for others.
    The operative word here is "avoid."  For products like the iPhone and iPad for which Apple has a superior product there is no choice.  The problem is Apple control.  That means that everything is compatible with everything else which is good.  It also means that everything is limited to products that serve Apple's bottom line, which is questionable.
    Hopefully, now that Apple's creative genius has sadly left us, other companies will step forward to create products that will allow us to avoid the complications of Apple.  I have found iTunes to be the principal complication.  iTunes regularly updates itself, practically every Sunday, and then I have to restart my computer which interrupts all the tasks that I have underway.
    Despite all these updates I don't use iTunes except for the iPhone and even that is problematic.  The entire experience makes me glad that I don't have an Apple since it must be very difficult for Apple users to work with Apple constantly demanding updates and restarts and proprietary software and the like.
    If you're not an Apple customer, but you've been listening their hype with their execs pacing a stage clad in jeans, then read this and heed.  My experience with iTunes is a warning for all.  Watch out.  Apple is not your friend.  It's a corporation bent on control, monopoly power and coerced profiteering.  We may all soon need nets to save us when Apple drives us out the window.

  • How to make a big screen PLAY button for FLV which will fade away after the movie starts?

    I wanted to make play button. Kind of this huge one in the middle of the screen as users used to see on YouTube.
    Here is the code for it which seems to work:
    play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_Play);
          function onClick_Play(event:MouseEvent) :void {
      SWF_flv2.play();
    The problem is it doesn't dissapear once the video plays. How shoudl it be done, the whole video has to go to another frame with no play_btn on it or there is a code which can make it fade away?

    The FLVPlayback component can be set to use any number of controls for the video playback. You should use those for playback control once the video has started. If you do want to create all of your own custom controls, here's an Adobe tutorial on the FLVPlayback control structure: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/components/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9c65b32-7f00.html

  • How to save PDF form to a KM Folder in Portal

    Folks,
    I have a requirement to save ADOBE Form to KM folder in portal and again access that form for changes.
    Thanks,
    Manish

    Hi Manish
    just a bit of rather high-level input: What you want is possible from a technology point of view, i.e. NetWeaver provides you with all the tools you need, but essentially you need to build an application that does all the things you want from scratch.
    Interactive Forms has no standard persistence mechanism for the generated PDF forms, as the way such PDFs are handled differ from app to app, from customer to customer, and NW isn't able to accommodate all wishes. Some of the SAP applications provide mechanisms sich as storing files in KM or Records Mgmt, but this is limited.
    You will need an application that
    - generates the PDF
    - assigns the PDF to a KM folder (after editing?)
    - allows the retrieval of the PDF from KM and editing
    - presumably, at some point send the data entered in the PDF back to the database (before archiving the PDF permanently?)
    So the forms aspect is only one of the important ones, developing on top of KM the other.
    Best regards,
