I can't find firefox.exe on my hard drive after a reboot; is there a way to restore previous windows and tabs after I reinstall?

I closed firefox and rebooted. After rebooting, I tried to load Firefox but the firefox.exe file was nowhere on the hard disk.
I would like to restore my previous windows and tabs. How do I do this?

It is one or the other. Since you're Restored the phone from the previous backup, the new content is gone (unless you did a separate backup) and whatever was in the old backup is all you've got. And there is no merging capabilities.
Beware that if you do not password-protect a locally-stored backup made on iTunes on a computer, not all the content gets saved. I suspect it is similar when using iCloud, but I never use that so don't know for sure. Just Restored my new iPhone 6+ from the full backup of the previous iPhone 5 and all was there save a few passwords such as iCloud.

  • Windows Vista can't find Firefox.exe on my hard drive, but it is there. How can I get Firefox to run?

    Windows Vista can't find the Firefox.exe program on my machine but it is right there in program files. Windows won't run it. After clicking on the short cut icon and after a delay I get an error message saying that windows can't find it. What can I do to fix this problem?

    Hey merodi,
    I dont fully understand your problem here,
    1. Did your computer shut down or 'die' or did you save and then you cant find it?
    2. Have you tried looking in spotlight (little magnifying glass up the corner)
    3. Have you tried opening the program again? In word and pages, if the program exited forcefully, opening it again will restore the document.

  • On a clean Firefox download I consistantly can't open Firefox because "Windows can't find Firefox.exe" - doesn't look like it's being downloaded.

    I have used several download sites including Mozilla's to try and download Firefox. In every case, when the download is "complete", the Firefox icon appears in the taskbar. When I click on it to open Firefox I get this message "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again." I've searched my computer and FIrefox.exe is not there. When I looked at the files that were downloaded in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox there are quite a number of files including one with the Firefox icon and the name "Firefox". Clicking it once again brings up that can't find Firefox.exe dialog box. I'm on an Acer Aspire with Win 7 32 bit. I did have Firefox on the laptop but a virus forced me to restore the laptop to its original configuration. I've reloaded my programs with the exception of Firefox.

    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, if exist, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Thank you.

  • Where can I find an Apple certified internal hard drive?

    I have a December 2006 MacBook Pro that I upgraded RAM and hard drives (twice) from OWC. After having Apple replace the display and the motherboard (again twice) I've been having boot problems. My local Genius Bar told me to replace the RAM with my original RAM and see if it solves the problem.
    Well, it seems to solve it, but my internal HD shows up as "Failing" in disk utility. I cleaned off my original 120GB HD and installed the OS (Snow Leopard) and whenever it's plugged into firewire, the system will boot automatically to it rather than the internal drive.
    There's an Apple logo on the original drive, so there's something about it that the Mac likes. There seems to be something to the "official" Apple hardware deal.
    My problem is that the Apple Store doesn't seem to sell either internal drives for notebooks or memory for MacBook Pros as old as mine.
    I can take it back to the Genius Bar to find out if they can sell me the right stuff without having to install it themselves, but I'd much rather do it myself, so I don't have to let go of my computer, which I use every day.
    Any thoughts? Apparently I can't trust the hardware that OWC sells. Does this make any sense?

    Where can I find an Apple certified internal hard drive?
    At Apple
    But if you want to spend less ..... OWC have a great selection and are very Mac Friendly

  • ITunes can not find my music on external hard drive

    Had to redo my hard drive; had all music on external hard drive; copied iTunes folder onto external hard drive. Now that my desktop hard drive is clean, and new iTunes downloaded, it can not find my music on the external drive which I have always used. Is there some setting I am missing, do I have to copy music onto CPU?

    Hold the SHIFT key while launching iTunes. You will get the option to navigate to the iTunes folder on your external drive. In the iTunes folder point it to the iTunes Library.itl file.

  • Firefox start with the previous Windows and Tabs, even the optin I have chosen is the Homepage.

    At start up Firefox does not go to my Homepage

    Cor-el, thank you for your support. Unfortunately the same thing happens whether I close by using the x or by using exit in the Firefox Tab. I go to Options and make sure that "Show my home page is chosen in the "when Firefox starts" option box. Between the time I close and when I bring Firefox back up that option gets changed to "Show my Windows and Tabs from last time"

    I recently was having problems with my computer where it would crash and I had to do a system restore. I am now not able to open firefox, I found this page explaining how to fix the problem:http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+will+not+start?s=icon+won%27t+open&as=s The solution says to delete the process of firefox.exe in the task manager, however I can't find this process.

  • Can't find imovie file on my hard drive

    I have a imovie file on my hard drive that I can't find. I really want to delete it so
    that I can free up some room on my hard rive. It's at least 15 gigs big. I tried using the search icon in the upper right hand corner and I tried using the 'find' option under the 'finder' menu, searching for any files over 5 gigs in size. Can anyone help me find this file so I can get rid of it?
    [email protected]

    An iMovie project is a package, not a file; the actual files inside it are smaller. Use a tool such as WhatSize to locate it.

  • Can't find my files on external hard drive

    My old computer (iBook G4) recently died, and I extracted the Hard drive from the computer. I got an external enclosure for the hard drive and got it up and running, and it shows up on my MacBook Pro.
    My problem is that I can't find the files I really want, which were in the "Users" file. I can get to the Users file, and it says that there is 15GB in the folder, but when I open it there only like two files, and I even checked the hidden folders and they simply weren't there. Any ideas?

    I'm guessing it's related to Permissions have you tried repairing them on the old volume ?
    Did you try running Migration Assistant to see if it can see the content you want to bring over ?

  • How can I find saved movies on my hard drive?

    I am trying to clean out my hard drive by putting a lot of pictures and videos on an external hard drive.  I went through all my saved videos that were in Iphoto and transfered them to the hard drive and then deleted them. 
    When I open up my storage information it still says I have 84 GB of videos on my Macbook Pro hard drive, which doesn't make sense because I just transfered and deleted 77 GB of video.(Had 84 to start with)  I tried searching the hard drive but I have no clue where else the videos could be saved. 
    Can anyone help??
