I had to reset FF. My toolbar with all my saved sites has disappeared. Never did that before.

Good day! I recently reset my FF. Suddenly, all my saved sites (on toolbar) are missing, as well as those saved in the drop down on the side of the toolbar. This is the first time they ever disappeared when I reset FF. HELP!!! Please. They were used for business as well as personal use. Thank you,

Sorry, by saved sites, do you mean your bookmarks or your last set of open tabs?
When you use the Reset feature, Firefox creates a folder on your desktop named Old Firefox Data and moves your settings (profile) folder in there. So you can recover many settings from there (some easily, some not so easily).
'''Bookmarks'''
You can use the Library dialog (Ctrl+Shift+b) to double-check that they're really gone and not just discombobulated in some manner. Check the 3 categories on the left: Bookmarks Menu, Bookmarks Toolbar, Unsorted Bookmarks. If they're all gone, you will need to restore a backup.
Consider: have you created any new bookmarks you want to keep? If so, here is the "four step" process. (If you don't care about the new ones, you only need Step #2.)
(1) Export ''current'' bookmarks to the HTML format. See: [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]. It's a good idea to open this in Firefox as a web page and skim through it to make sure it's complete before proceeding.
(2) Restore the latest JSON-format backup file. See: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]. Click "Choose File" and then click up to your desktop, into Old Firefox Data, into your old profile folder, into the bookmarkbackups folder, and then select the file with the most recent date first. If that doesn't restore, try an earlier date.
(3) Re-import the file of your most recent bookmarks from step #1. See: [[Import Bookmarks from a HTML file]].
(4) Re-organize the imported bookmarks into the proper location(s). See: [[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites]] (skip down to "How do I organize my bookmarks?").
Does that work?
'''Tabs'''
This is messier. Let me know if you need this.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Firefox Home with Search panel does not load/appear. When I click the home icon a message appears that says Firefox is not a valid URL. Never did that before?

    Nothing different from the question. Firefox just does not load. When I place the mouse cursor over the home icon and do not click, a message panel seemingly powered by My Yahoo states "drag the AT&T globe to the left of the home icon in the toolbar and drop it there, then select "yes" from the pop up window and you are done." This was an action I did recently (not today) but don't see what this has to do with Firefox

  • I had to reset a PayPal account with iTunes and now I keep getting a your apple I'd has been disabled on both my phone and iPod. I've already done the steps in iTunes on my computer now what?

    I had to reset my PayPal account with iTunes and now I'm getting a apple I'd has been disabled on both my iPad and iPhone. I've already done all the steps on my computer.  Now what?

    They give me that option when I'm setting up my account and I've got all that worked out. But my apple I'd is still disabled on my Mac, iPad, and iPhone. I can't download anything nor can I update any of my apps. I've even changed my account to a credit card and it still didn't help.
    Any ideas?  I've put in a support request. Hopefully they won't take too long.

  • TS1702 I'm not able to update Smurf's Village. Tried most of the things proposed on the net including restarting the iPad and trying syncing with the computer. Had a similar issue with another application. Had to delete and reinstall it, with all history

    I'm not able to update Smurf's Village. Tried most of the things proposed on the net including restarting the iPad and trying syncing with the computer. Had a similar issue with another application. Had to delete and reinstall it, with all history lost.
    Tried following up with the developer's instruction. Didn't help. Developer suggested contacting Apple if their instruction didn't work. Tried the various methods recommended on the Apple site. Same result.

    Telling is that you tried most of the things on the net doesn't tell us exactly what you did try, so we are all still left to guess .....
    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again
    If that doesnt work - go to Settings>General>Date and Time - set the date ahead by a few months. Try to update again. If you get an error message of any kind - go back and change the date and time to automatic again. Then try again.
    If that doesn't work, restart your router and reboot the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Emailing a photo, asked for my password(never done that before.  I put in my computer password, wouldn't take it.  Now just keeps coming up with wrong password, cancel or OK, but won't let me enter another password, so can't email a photo?

    I tried to email a photo yesterday (on gmail).  It asked for a password (never done that before), and I put in my computer password, and it rejected it.  Came up with OK or Cancel.  OK, box went away.  Cancel, it said do you really want to delete this email.  It would not come up with another box.  I think I was supposed to put in my gmail password probably.  I can still use regular email, but can't send a photo, the same thing keeps happening.  I even turned off my computer thinking that might reset it.  I cannot figure out where this password thing came up.  I checked the preferences, nothing there except requiring password for other people to see my photos, which is not checked.  I am stumped.

    Actually, no it doesn't. You can email a photo with Gamil via any Mail client and/or web browser.
    iPhoto Menu ->
    Preferences ->
    Accounts ->
    Delete and recreate your email settings.
    Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.

    Hey linfrommi,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble locating some application after the update to iOS 7. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s reset the home screen layout of your iPhone, which should move all of your applications to the second “page”:

  • My DVD write comes up with an error -43. Never done that before. What could be the reason. Please help

    My DVD write comes up with an error -43. Never done that before. What could be the reason. Please help

    iDVD is not involved in the process at all.
    What you want to do is create a data disk on a DVD.  That's done by inserting a blank DVD disc in the optical drive, Option+drag the files you want to backup onto the disc icon on the desktop and then drag that icon to the Trash bin in the dock which turns into the Burn feature. 
    Try that (the Option+drag and see if you can get your files to burn.

  • HT201272 Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased I had no problem retrieving from itunes with no charge but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again.

    Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased had no problem downloading to my new phone from itunes with no charge, but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again. How can I get these songs to my new phone without having to buy them again?

    Whether you can re-download music depends upon what country that you are in (and whether it remains in the store). If you don't have a Music section in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone for re-downloading it, then do you not have you library on your computer's iTunes or on your backup of your downloads ? If not then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download

  • I had to reset my phone and lost all my ringtones, how do i get my ringtones back if I already bought them?

  • I accidently closed my window with all my app tabs, now the only window that opens was a 2nd one I had open. How do I get back all my app tabs from the previous window, and why didn't it give me the usual warning you are closing more than one tab?

    I accidently closed the window with all my frequently used app tabs, now the only window that opens was an extra one I had opened. How do I get back all my app tabs from the previous window, and why didn't it give me the usual warning you are closing more than one tab? edit
    Details

    Then the (App) tabs from that window are lost unless you can restore an older copy of the sessionstore.js file (Time Machine?) that has that lost window.

  • How do I get rid of a toolbar with bing, weather, similar sites, etc? I don't want it.

    There suddenly appeared a toolbar on my browser that was not there before. It has - I think they are "apps". There are such things as a radio station button, the weather, facebook, bing, and so on. I do not want this toolbar at all. I don't make use of it, and it slows things down... not to mention the fact that it makes my viewing window that much smaller. Please, how do I get rid of it entirely? All I want is the navigation bar and the tabs that were there when I first downloaded FireFox. I've tried to uninstall them via the tools menu, but it appears I can't. I even tried reinstalling the browser, and that didn't work. Attempts to follow directions posted on various sites as to how to remove them have not worked either.
    I realize this question does not exactly fit the category, but I couldn't find one closer.
    Thanks
