WHY do you offer new versions of Firefox without warning that bookmarks will be lost and the last backup was 10 weeks ago???????????

Just upgraded to 3.6.3 and found that all bookmarks since April 16 (it is now June 25) are missing. I have read instructions for restoring bookmark backups but if possible would like to restore bookmarks between 4/16 and now. Restoring instructions say that I will lose those if I follow the instructions. Why was there no warning of this when the 3.6.3 upgrade was offered???? How can I get back 10 weeks' worth of bookmarks?

I have found an incompatibility in the older revision JSON files that your bookmarks are stored in to the newer client. It could be that the new client simply can't see them as a result of this incompatibility.
Please check the following directory for JSON files dated older than the update in May just in case: C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[generated stuff].default\bookmarkbackups
If you're unable to see the AppData Folder, please enable Hidden files and folder by clicking on the Organise button from any folder (located top left of window), and then the following:
Folder & search options > View Tab > Show Hidden Files, Folders and Drives.
If JSON files are located there, which are dated older than the update and you wish to restore them, please make a copy of this folder on your desktop, and uninstall the current revision of firefox (Temporarily). Reinstall an older revision, import the JSON file of your choosing, then export them as an HTML file, before finally upgrading back to the latest revision of Firefox. Once the latest revision of Firefox is installed again, import the HTML file, and this should restore your bookmarks.
If an older JSON file is not available, see if there's a shadowcopy of the file by going to Computer, right click your drive, Restore previous versions, click on the date of your shadowcopy and click on open, then navigate to the same location mentioned and copy it onto your current desktop.
If no shadowcopies are available, you could be out of luck. You could try a system restore point dating to before the update, which should roll back Firefox to the older revision, and may restore your bookmarks too, but at this point hope is sparse.
I've experienced the same frustration myself just recently. I was able to fix the issue, and I hope the same applies in your situation o_o"

TS2570 On start up of my new iMac it locks on the grey screen with the apple logo and the progress wheel spins. Boot up in safe and this is where it stopped at "BootCacheControl: Unable to open /var/db/bootcache.playlist: 2 no such file or directory. "

Reinstalling MacOS does NOT fix the problem for me. I'm still searching a solution !

I click a link and it opens on the current page and a new tab, how do i keep the first tab on the current page and only have the link clicked on appear in the new tab?

I go to click a link for any site and it opens the link in the current page and a new tab. I only want it to open the link in the new tab. I want to keep the original tab what it was.

you can try to write some web driver to do this particular job for you, one such driver is Selenium. know more about it at https://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list.
But this thing will need a good programming skill. Otherwise you have Adblock plus addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/), you can try this. you can also contact its developer to include this particular facility also in this add on

I am unable to open certain pages on sites. I have to switch over to IE because the new Firefox update is not accomodated on their websites! When will this be fixed... sites included Ameritrade, FAFSA, and others...

First and foremost, you should update to 3.6.17 because the version you're running at the moment is insecure and exposes your system to attack. Update via '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''.
That may even fix the problem since several minor bugs were also fixed in later versions.
Similarly, after updating, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update those which are necessary.
If the problem persists, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
I didn't experience a problem myself accessing any of those sites you mentioned. See screenshot.

Firefox 12 is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are opening it lags.

Firefox 12 is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are opening it lags. I've tried everything (e.g virus, defrag, I've created a new profile in "run", etc). I've had my router/line etc all checked and after 2 weeks of cleaning/testing etc its all pointing to Firefox as the problem. Please help as it's driving me nuts.

I have the exact same problem.
Not only does it load pages very slowly, sometimes the page will stop for a good 45 seconds and stop loading, only to finish it much later.
Something is wrong with Firefox 12, it shouldn't be this slow.
How is that each version is progressively worse than the one before it?.
Stop releasing so many versions Mozilla, release one that works and build from there.

When I try to open a recent document I get the following message "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have downloaded version Pages version 5.2.2 and the app store confirms this, but my Pages About reports that I am using 4.3

When I try to open a recent document I get the following message "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have downloaded version Pages version 5.2.2 and the app store confirms this (and won't let me download it again), but my Pages About reports that I am using 4.3

Here is the solution that I received from the chat line.
When you update applications like Pages it usually keeps both versions on the computer. So what most likely happened is it didn’t put the new version on your dock. So to fix this, open a finder window. And go into applications which should be listed on the left. Scroll down and you will see Pages listed in here. And the icon should look different. You can drag that icon down onto your dock.Open that and you then can access your documents

In Firefox 4 with IE Tab 1.98.2011.322 Right clicking on a bookmark in the bookmark bar no longer brings up the option to open in an IE Tab.

In the previous version of Firefox when I right clicked on a bookmark in the bookmark bar the IE Tab options would appear. They no longer do since I have moved to Version 4. It would be great to get this ability back.. Thanks

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

This issue occurs with most of the PDFs that I open up. I am using the latest version of adobe reader on my windows based machine and it is a general PDF. I saw a similar post online stating that if you look at the fonts used in the document and it doesn't say (Embedded) next to it, then Adobe Reader will try to pull the font(s) from your computer and if it doesn't find that font then it will replace it which makes it look funny.

Unable to lookup System ...check the system object and the alias

Hi,
I am working on EP6 Sp 9. I have created iviews and integrated j2ee application by appIntegartor . everything is working fine . but these iviews are working only with superadmin role . with any other role am getting the error message "Unable to lookup System 'NNNJ2ee'. Please check the system object and the alias.."
Have created a role and done appropriate user mapping. Connection Test goes through successfully and iViews work fine as expected, but just in administrator login.
i found a a thread dissucing about the same problem in this forum and followed the solution given by them(assigning eu_role to the user) .
But still it is not working for me.
can anyone please help me in finding the solution .
Thanks,
Lakshmi

Hi,
<b>The cause is :</b>
When you create an item with the 'super admin role' user's , you don't have the role : 'eu_role' assigned.
So when you create a new item the role 'eu_role' is not spread to end user.
<b>The solution is :</b>
First add the 'eu_role' to the super admin user. For all next item created it's work fine.
For item already created,
- right click on the object, Select open permissions.
- In the display option, choose Permissions
- Search for role : 'eu_role'
- Add the permissions
- check the box 'End User'
- Save
- And test
For me it's work fine. Let me know if it's good for you...

I install at the new update cc2014 but for some reason in my computer appear double app the old one and the new but the new dose not gave the setup that I have in my old version! What happen ?

I install at the new update cc2014 but for some reason in my computer appear double app the old one and the new but the new dose not gave the setup that I have in my old version! What happen ?

Seriously, I doubt that your answer helped Erik. He has two issues.
He installed the new program and has a double icon folders with software. One for the new & one for the old. (I have this same problem.)
He must have attempted to open one of the products and no longer see his personal settings transferred over. (The install will ask to have those settings migrating, but you have to accept it. eh, I could be wrong; but, that what i remembered doing.
I concur with his first.
However, i can not get any of my products to work. Ie. have to constantly click on icon to open; once open i get a unexpected error and have to close. I'm on a mac pro w/ latest os system.
In addition, I have tried to uninstall the older by clicking on the application's manager icon.; Unfortunately, it shuts down at each attempt. Therefore, I am unable to un-install the old product or the new.
Possibly, we were hoping that the new product would be simply updated if an old recent was already installed.
Instead, the installation simply created a new icon and the new folder with product.

Hi Danny,
Per my understanding that you can't get the expect result by using the expression "=Count(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4) " to count the the TICKET_STATUS which value is 4, the result will returns the count of all the TICKET_STATUS values(206)
but not 180, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by you are using the count() function in the incorrect way, please modify the expression as below and have a test:
=COUNT(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4 ,1,Nothing))
or
=SUM(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS=4,1,0))
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

All iWeb options are greyed-out, and can't make a new sites or pages.

Hello,
I am having a very annoying problem with iWeb. Every option is greyed-out! I can't make a new page or site, and it quits as soon as I close the iWeb window. It is version 1.1.2 I have tried installing useless updates for iWeb that did nothing, and I've tried to open iWeb from iPhoto by clicking the iWeb button, which also did nothing. I'm just about to give up on it.
Can anybody please point me in the right direction or have a fix for this? All help will be appreciated!

Hi ineedagoodalias,
The answer to your problem isn't necessarily the simplest, but I'm 99% sure that it will work for you.
You need to delete and reinstall iWeb. Not hard to do; you just need your installation DVD's that came with your machine.
Drag the iWeb.app from your Applications folder to the trash. Spotlight for other elements of iWeb, and trash those as well. Empty the trash and restart your machine.
On your recovery disks, as you move through the prompts, look for "Install bundled software". Customize the install to include only iWeb. After reinstalling iWeb you will be back to 1.0.1.
Update the app to 1.1.1 directly from this link:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/iweb111.html
This will get you going, and you can update to 1.1.2 when you are sure everything is working properly. For other FAQ on iWeb, please see this link:
http://web.mac.com/varkgirl/iWeb/iWebFAQ
Be sure to let us know how it goes.

I've deleted the recently added and recently played tabs and want to get them back, how?

Hi
I've deleted the recently played, and recently added tabs on the left hand side of itunes, but I now want to gewt them back. I've tried to look online for solutions but they don't work, I get the icon up again, but nothing gets added. Am I doing something wrong.
Heres what I've done - Go to file - Create new smart playlist - then in the box marked random, drop down box to most recently added - then name the folder when it appears on the left. Thats great, but nothing appears in that folder. I've also tried clicking on the + sign bottom left then hitting shift, which brings up the same box, but it still doesn't work..... Help!

You need to specify what the values/attributes are for the two smart playlists. The below screenshots are from iTunes on my Mac (as that is what I'm currently logged in on), but I assume that the values are the same as they would be on windows :
