How to to override content of server's backup by current browser's settings/passwords/bookmarks?

Typical scenario: after long manual bookmark organization Firefox Sync adds trash from its server to my laptop or tablet.
Where can I find how to override content of server's backup by current browser's settings/passwords/bookmarks? Stupid me, I set up new sync and lost this capability.

Sync has always had a problem'''*''' of mangling and duplicating bookmarks. I suppose I am not surprised to see it still happens.
I have not got time at the moment to give full details but hope this still helps.
Sync is very much a double edged sword,
*It helps by seamlessly syncing bookmarks between devices, and now New Sync even lets you use it from a single device to the server.
*But new sync gives no options to control Sync direction. And clearly is still capable of messing up bookmarks in a manner that is difficult almost impossible to sort out other than to rely on the last good backup.
You can use the bookmarks checkbox to turn off the bookmark syncing but you need to sort the mess out manually. Rather late now to mention that it is always a good idea to periodically manually backup your bookmarks.
First of all backup the profiles on each device (That at least preserves information). If this has happened recently you can possibly restore to a previous bookmarks backup. Take care though to make manual backups of bookmarks as you work. Restores overwrite & destroy bookmarks. Note HTML backups can be appended, and the files and folders are easy to edit and read.
There is also a possibility of the Windows OS having a copy of the database, (''places.sqlite'' - a hidden, Firefox profile file) but again care with ensuring you have backups before replacing.
'''*''' Bug 812348 - Firefox Sync duplicating and scrambling bookmarks & folders
'''(Additional info not updated for Fx30,''' - based on Firefox 29 menu - but '''linked articles will be up to date''')
If you have any current bookmarks save them now as an HTML files by exporting them as HTML. This sort of backup has the advantage that it can be appended to current bookmarks.
*see [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
It is important to note the ordinary backups overwrite and destroy any existing bookmarks when you import them.
*Do a full backup of bookmarks before you attempt any restore. <br />See [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
The bookmarks themselves are stored within the Firefox profile and the file is called places.sqlite , that is the file you want. (There are also backup bookmarks within a backup folder inside the profile,they may also be useful files.)
*You can find the profile from<br />Firefox Button -> Help-> Troubleshooting Information -> [Open folder] <br />See [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data#w_how-do-i-find-my-profile]]_how-do-i-find-my-profile
*This explains the Windows feature http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Previous-versions-of-files-frequently-asked-questions <br /> Previous versions are available from right click options. Just take care with overwriting files, always back them up first

  • How do I save content (such as images) from the Firefox browser in Firefox OS?

    I recently received my ZTE Open, and I was looking at customization options for the OS. First step: find a new background for the home screen. In order to do so I was trying to save an image (just something on imgur) but after the image was loading in the browser on the phone, I had no way of downloading / saving the image. In Android I would normally long-press on the image and it would give me the option to save-as, but not in FirefoxOS.
    Is this something that I can do? If so, how?

    It is not possible to download at this moment. You can download the picture and save it on the computer and then transfer it to a microSD card.
    Add: I have also just filed a bug for this.

    In order to read the content of the Redo Log files, you should use Logminer Utility
    Please refer to the documentation for more information:

  • Help me...How to read the content if "Transfer-Encoding:chunked" is used?

    I am doing a project for internet control using Java,PHP and MySql.All sites should go through the proxy server only.If the HTTP header contains Content-Length,am getting the content length as below:
    public class HTTPResponseReader extends HTTPMessageReader
        String statusCode;
        public HTTPResponseReader(InputStream istream) throws IOException,                     NoSuchElementException
      BufferedInputStream distream = new BufferedInputStream(istream);
      retrieveHeader(distream);
      StringTokenizer st =  new StringTokenizer(new String(HTTPMessageReader.toArray(header)));
      versionProtocol = st.nextToken();
      statusCode = st.nextToken();
      String s;
      while (st.hasMoreTokens())
            s = st.nextToken();

       retrieveBody(distream);     
    }After getting the Content-Length,i used read method to read the content upto that content length.Then i concatenated the HTTP header and body and the requested site was opened.But some sites dont have Content-Length.Instead of that,Transfer-Encoding is used.I got the HTTP Response header as "Transfer-Encoding:chunked" for some sites.If this encoding is used how to get the length of the message body and how to read the content.
    Can anybody help me.
    Thanks in advance...

    Why don't you use HttpUrlConnection class to retrieve data from HTTP server? This class already supports chunked encoding...
    If you want to do anything by yourself then you need to read HTTP RFC and find all required information. Well in two words you may reject advanced encoding by specifying HTTP 1.0 in your request or download chunked answer manually. Read RFC anyway :)

  • How to create custom content placeholder in sharepoint 2013

    Hi, I would like to create custom content placeholder don't know how to and add to my custom master page in sharepoint 2013. I have no luck searching on how to create custom content placeholder, any help?
    Thanks,
    Johnweb

    Hi,
    If you’re not fixed your requirement with the Out of the box SharePoint place holders, you can create as many as you want as long as the ID doesn’t conflict. On the master page add the content place holder 
    <asp:ContentPlaceHolderid="CustomName" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder> and add this to your page layout
    <asp:Contentrunat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="CustomName"></asp:Content>.
    I suggest you provide your basic requirement for further research.
    If you want to customize a master page, the Rajendra's method would be helpful.

  • How do I configure OS X Server (Mountain Lion) to deliver mail from another domain to my mailbox?

    How do I configure OS X Server (Mountain Lion) to deliver mail from another domain to my mailbox?
    I run a personal Server at my office. It's configured under my own domain as server.mydomain.com. It's setup that it properly receives and sends e-mail for mydomain.com. I use my own mailbox [email protected] to get all my personal mail.
    I'm looking to add another domain as a secondary way for people to get to my content and information.
    I want the same address [email protected] and [email protected] to arrive in the same mailbox at my server.
    How do i do that?

    it does look like you can add virtual domains in the GUI of Server.app on at least some versions, but I don't have an OS X Server 10.8 version handy to check.
    I'd encourage spending some time to learn the command line.  In general, the payoff for learning the command line will be worth the effort expended.  You're running a mail server here and sooner or later the capabilities of the GUI will fail you.  This whether due to a configuration omission in the GUI itself, or due to the need to troubleshoot a malfunctioning mail server, a need to automate one or more of the Postfix-related sequences, or some other IT-related task.  Entirely FWIW, of course.
    Here's a cut-and-paste of the sequence just used to test the command line access to the Postfix configuration, first fetching the current value, appending example.com as the second domain, then displaying the new value, then restarting the Postfix server.  Don't enter the dollar signs; just the postconf command and following.  Adjust example.com to match your domain...
    $ postconf mydestination
    mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
    $ sudo postconf -e 'mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, example.com'
    Password: {your admin password here}
    $ postconf mydestination
    mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, example.com
    $ sudo postfix reload
    The Postfix and Postconf commands work irrespective of the OS X Server version; the tools reference the data files as needed.

  • How do I get Apache web server working ...

    How do I get Apache web server working on my MacBook Pro, which is running Leopard 10.5.8?
    When I enter 'http://localhost/~username/' (without the quote marks) as a URL in my Firefox browser on the MacBook, I do not see any result at all(!). I do have Web Sharing on in System Preferences on that machine. But the browser does nothing whatever for that URL ...
    On my other computer, an iMac running Leopard 10.5.8, when I enter 'http://localhost/~username/' I see the default "Your Website Here" page. That same default page is in fact the index.html file I expect to see on the MacBook Pro. But it isn't getting invoked for some reason. Nothing is happening ...
    When on the iMac I try 'http://10.0.1.18/~username/' (10.0.1.18 is the local IP address I see under 'Web Sharing: On' on the MacBook) I get "Unable to connect: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 10.0.1.18."
    When on the MacBook I try 'http://10.0.1.5/~username/' (10.0.1.5 is the local IP address I see under 'Web Sharing: On' on the MacBook) I see the default "Your Website Here" page.
    It is the same on my iPhone: Using the same local IP addresses and usernames, Safari can see the index.html page on my iMac but not on my MacBook.
    It looks as if Apache is not working on the MacBook, while on the iMac it works fine.
    On the MacBook I can see (after I use 'defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE' in Terminal) a /private/etc/apache2/ directory with what look to be(?) the usual contents. So it looks like Apache is duly installed, as far as I can tell.
    On the MacBook I don't see a file at /private/var/log/apache2/error_log, which is the location for 'ErrorLog' given in the httpd.conf file.
    That about exhausts my understanding of how to get a handle on my problem.
    Any advice or suggestions from those who have more expertise with Apache will be much appreciated ...

    Okai, so we are getting somewhere, but not quit there yet :-)
    I opened the Kenneth.conf file using the command: vi Kenneth.conf

  • How can I determine what dns server the wifi client use within airport

    How can I determine what dns server the wifi client use within airport
    I want to use dns servers other then the one that airport extreme is using. For example I got the 172.16.1.1 (the default gateway - airport extreme), but I want to use the office dns servers, that are in a 10.x.x.x range.
    Is there a possibility?
    Thanks and happy eastern

    The Airport Extreme uses the DNS servers assigned by the network that it connects to. Is you Airport Extreme on the 10.x.x.x network? if it is then you are already using the 10.x.x.x DNS servers. Check your Airport Extreme with the Airport Utility and you will see in the Internet tab, the DNS servers used. The devices connecting to the Airport Extreme are assigned a DNS address of the Airport Extremes IP, In your case 172.16.1.1 but all DNS searches and resolution are done with the DNS servers you see in the Airport Extreme.
    If you want to use some other DNS then you can override in the Airport Extreme which will be used by all devices connecting too the Airport Extreme, Or you can edit the DNS address in each devices wireless settings.
