I'd like to know how to backup my browsing and download history.

Title says it all. I want to backup my browsing history and my download list (ctrl+j). I have already backed up my bookmarks and don't care about other stuff.

That should be downloads.sqlite for the download history (Firefox 2 used downloads.rdf).

  • How do I save browser and download history with timestamps?

    I want to be able to have access to and be able to export all my browser and download history on Firefox with timestamps. From the looks of it, Firefox doesn't place permanent time-stamps on browser history, and begins removing download data from the main download window after it reaches a certain volume. I'm mainly interested in knowing whether I can retrieve and export history and/or download data which is months old for forensic reasons. Basically, I just want to have a day-by-day breakdown of the sites I visited over the last year on Firefox instead of a month-by-month one and '6 months or older' pile.
    It would be nice if someone could clarify whether or not Firefox supports or can be made to support any of this, and if months-old browser history still has original time data associated with it that I can use to categorize it day-by-day.

    You can open the downloads.sqlite file in a program or extension that can handle SQLite database files.
    * SQLite Manager: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
    # Open Profile Directory -> XXX.sqlite -> Go
    # Hit the Execute SQL tab
    # Use a Select like this:
    <pre><nowiki>SELECT datetime(startTime/1000000,'unixepoch') AS startTime,name,source AS url,target,currBytes AS bytes,((endTime-startTime)/1e6) AS time,currBytes/((endTime-startTime)/1e6) AS speed,mimeType
    FROM moz_downloads
    ORDER By startTime DESC
    </nowiki></pre>
    If you need more (or less) data then add open the XXX table to see the names of the available columns and add them to (or remove them from) the SELECT line separated by commas.

  • Our daughter figured out on her own how to delete songs and apps from her IPAD2. Her parents would like to know how to delete such files and then how to prevent our daughter from doing it.

    Our daughter figured out on her own how to delete songs and apps from her IPAD2. Drives us crazy since we continually have to reload these files. Her parents would like to know
    1. how she did it (delete files) and
    2. how to prevent her from deleting files in the future.

  • I'd like to know how to remove the upside down triangle history

    I don't remember seeing the upside down triangle in the location bar before. Is it something I can remove?
    I tried to add a screen shot, but I couldn't figure out how to do that.

    That drop down marker has always been there and will show items that you have types or pasted in the location/address bar ordered by frecency (recently and frequently visited sites).
    It is possible to hide this icon if you really want to.
    Add code to the <b>userChrome.css</b> file below the default @namespace line.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
    <pre><nowiki>@namespace url("https://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
    .urlbar-history-dropmarker { display:none!important; }
    </nowiki></pre>
    The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
    *Use a plain text editor like Textedit on Mac to create a (new) userChrome.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
    *Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
    *Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line

  • My iPad was stolen and I want to know how I can deactivate it and how do I transfer my account to my new iPad

    Hi there  My i Pad was stolen and I would like to know how do I deactivate it and how do I transfer my account to my new i Pad Thanks Linda

    If you enabled the "Find My iDevice" feature prior to the device being lost/stolen, log into iCloud and deactivate it. If you did not, there is nothing that can be done.
    As for the content, it should all be on your computer, simply connect the new iPad and sync what you would like to the device.

  • I would like to know how to extract my old contacts from the iTunes backup? Please explain in basic english i am a beginner

    I have had my old Iphone 5s replaced with a new one but I would like to know how to extract my old contacts from the iTunes backup? Please explain in basic english i am a beginner

    Hey,
    I think you will find that you have to have a debit/credit card stored on yur account regardless of whether your have iTunes Credit or want to purchase a free App. I don't know why, I assume its for ID verification or is part of the terms and conditions. I occasionally have to re-verify my credit card info even when just trying to run Update on one of my Apps or like I said downloading a free App.
    If you need further clarification all you can do is contact iTunes Support:

    Hope this helps. Andrew

  • HT4910 A question I would like to know how I can eliminate old backup in I Cloud so I can have more space

    I would like to know how I can Eliminate my old backup, so I can have more space for new storage

    You can delete it by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the device you want to delete the backup for under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.  Note: be absolutely sure you no longer need to the backup for anything as once deleted you can't get it back.

  • Three annoying issues we would like to know how to fix

    Three issues with our new iMac that we would like to know how to fix:
    1. Sometime (not always) when we shut it down it restarts instead.
    2. Sometimes (not always) the display won't sleep.
    3. Time Machine keeps asking us if we want to use an external drive for backup. We say no. We don't even have Time Machine on so why does it keep asking us this?
    Can you tell us please how to fix any of these issues?
    Thank you.

    Is your software up-to-date; Mac OS X, Security, Firmware, etc?
    Try resetting both the SMC and the PRAM.
    Reset the PRAM
    • (Re)start the computer
    • Immediately press & hold the CommandOption+PR keys
    • Wait for two startup chimes
    • Release the keys and allow the computer to boot.
    Reset the SMC
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Detach the computer's power cord.
    • Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    • Release the power button.
    • Reattach the computers power cable.
    • Turn on the computer.

  • TS2755 I would like to know how I can save a years worth of text messages from my iphone 4s to my computer. (I have verizon as a carrier)

    Hey:
    Hi everyone.
    would like to know how I can save a years worth of text messages from my iphone 4s to my computer.
    (I have Verizon Wireless as a carrier), I have tried the app store but it is okay for one messgae but not for hundreds.
    Can you help me.
    Thank you in advance. Happy Thanks Giving.

    There is no Apple provided way to save text messages to a computer.
    The iPhone backup done via iTunes or iCloud, will backup the messages but they are not accessible on the computer.
    A google search may reveal options to saving the messages to the computer.

  • I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like those special toolbars at all.

    I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like special toolbars at all. I find it irritating that you included one in the newest version of your browser. In the future I would hope you would leave this or any other out. Firefox used to be my favorite browser to use, now I am not going to want to use it because of the extra toolbar. Please tell me there is a way to remove this, not just hide it.

    You can't move the Yahoo Toolbar from IE to Firefox, they are totally different "behind the scenes". However you can install it, [http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/ http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/] and I believe if you log in with your Yahoo account it will sync your data.
