If you have software like Advanced SystemCare that might reset some files to older versions to protect these files against changes then check the settings or uninstall this software.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Beta but im afried if i di i might lose all my bookmarks and add ons so is installing it going to erase it or not?

if that happened how to get my bookmarks again

What is supposed to happen is that when you install the beta, it detects that you already have a Firefox settings folder and it just replaces the program files. However, you're right that there is a small risk of data loss.
A backup is a great idea. These articles should help:
* [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]] - all settings your active personal Firefox settings folder, also known as your Firefox profile folder
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] - just bookmarks

Do not use any option to remove personal information, whether from a Firefox or a Windows prompt. You do not even need to uninstall the existing Firefox version.
As long as you follow the suggestions above you will be ok. Firefox will install the Beta over the existing Release without removing your bookmarks.
Additionally it is good practice to occasionally backup your bookmarks manually.
* see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
So as a belts and braces procedure why not back them up first.
It is possible to install and run multiple versions of Firefox. Although easy that is often considered advanced or is unnecessary.

When I downloaded the new Firefox about a week or two ago all my bookmarks, and add-ons disappeared and I want you to give them back to me asap?

When I downloaded the new Firefox about a week or two ago all my bookmarks, and add-ons disappeared and I want you to give them back to me asap?

You shouldn't wait that long to ask advice. Firefox only keeps a (rotating) backup of bookmarks for the last 5 days that you started Firefox. So you may be out of luck.
You can check that you still use your old default profile that had your bookmarks.<br />

After updating to Firefox 9 I have lost all my Bookmarks and Add ons

Firefox updated it's self to version 9.0.1. When I opened Firefox all my bookmarks and add ons where gone.
I have searched the help section with no help.

cor-el,
This turned out to be the root cause for my problem. Simply renamed the
places.sqlite.corrupt file to places.sqlite and my profile (including bookmarks) worked again. Thanks!
By the way, I first noticed that something was wrong with my _profile_ when, in addition to lost bookmarks, I noticed that I couldn't create _new_ bookmarks. Also was not able to restore bookmarks from a backup .json file. So I created a new profile, and was able to restore the bookmarks from the original profile's backup. That led me to exploring your suggestion. Thanks again!

I just upgraded my Norton Internet Security and I've lost ALL my bookmarks and add-ons. The add-ons aren't a big deal, but can I get my bookmarks back?

After rebooting my PC to finish Norton's installation, I opened Firefox and all of my bookmarks and add-ons were gone. My persona was also missing, too. Is there any way to remedy this without having to go through and re-bookmark every page?
I also found an article entitled, "Bookmarks and toolbar buttons not working after upgrading," to which I was redirected after clicking on the link "Configuring Norton 360" from the article "Lost Bookmarks." However, it says that "This article is no longer maintained, so its content might be out of date."

Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

I can't click the buttons in youtube videos. I've tried clearing the cache and disabling all the extensions and add-ons. No dice. The videos work in IE.

See above. Video will play automatically if on youtube, but I can't pause it, etc... Also if the video is embedded in a different website, I'll click play and nothing will happen.
Have tried clearing cache.
Have tried disabling add-ons and extensions.
Nothing works.

What is NSAppshell event window and how can I remove it? Have tried disabling all plug-ins and add-ons and it's still there and makes our computer slower than dial up!

Whenever I log off of my computer I get a message "NSAppshell event window," which slows down the performance of Mozilla and anything else we're trying to run on our computer. We're forced to log off and on to reboot and this happens nearly all the time. We have tried disabling all add-ons and plug-ins, to no avail. We are using Mozilla 4.0. Thanks for any help you can provide, as we don't want to go back to using Internet Explorer if we can help it.

I'd like you to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, and tell me if that fixes your problem.

The firefox button with all the plugins and add ons and stuff doesnt appear... what do i do?

I saw the tutoring video for firefox and it says that if I want add ons to appear I have to click the firefox button but I don't see it anywhere... how do I add it???

The Firefox button is not available on the Mac, this is due to the way that the Mac handles menus.
For the Mac, to access the add-ons manager, in the Tools menu select Add-ons.

I lost all my bookmarks and add ons , firefox sync restore only three addons and no bookmark.

I perfom a format to my computer and install firefox again but sync doesnt work.

Hello there,
Unfortunately Firefox Sync isn't meant to be used as a backup device, but merely to sync data between multiple devices. So it is not guaranteed that you can restore data from the Sync server.

You can't open Tools > Addons and then open Extensions & Plugins?

All of my extensions, and add-ons were deleted overnight. I can't find an old firefox data folder to restore my old profile

Firefox deleted all of my extensions and add-ons overnight. None of the fixes I've found work, I need help restoring my old profile

''cor-el [[#answer-716602|said]]''
<blockquote>
Did you only lose the extension or did you lose other personal data and settings as well?
You would normally only lose the extensions if you create a new profile folder, either via a reset/refresh or possibly because of problems with the profiles.ini file.
With a reset you would have an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop.
</blockquote>
I only lost the extensions. I left the PC on to do a steam download overnight. When I woke up and opened up the browser it was in base mode. All of my tabs, saved data were present. I looked for the Old Firefox Data folder then, but it isn't there.

I can reenable them but FF will disable them on the next startup. I uninstalled version 13 and installed version 12. Problem gone! So I'm still using version 12 and am afraid to update to version 13.
This problem began when I was trying to research and fix a problem (no history all-of-a-sudden) so it probably was something I caused. Can't recall everything I did though.
So: Does the addon problem I described have a solution? If so, I'll update my version 12 to version 13. Please respond.....

Moving Calendar to a New Computer & Moving Data: Downloads and Add-ons

Moving Calendar to a New Computer & Moving Data: Downloads and Add-ons
The handle says is all. Totally lost here & in a virtual house of cards. Please first see screen-shot.
I have the Mozilla calendar (Lightening?) program on my computer. Is this screen-shot Thunderbird or is it an add-on called Lightening that was added on to Thunderbird? I don't even recall how I acquired in a few years ago. Whatever it is I find in invaluable. Indispensable. Brilliantly conceived. A superb creation.
Notice that I have several calendars in different colors for different purposes and a long task agenda on the right. Wonderful program!! I absolutely love it! I can not afford to loose these calenders and this data. However, big caveat, entrusting my life (our lives) to it has become extremely dangerous for it's a virtual house of cards upon the purchase of a new computer. The move-over is more like a career most of us already have one. Need anyone really wonder why PC sales are down? Res ipsa loquitur.
FIRST ISSUE:
I must move this/these Mozilla program/s and calendars over to the new computer but I don't have a clue where to begin. What must I download? Thunderbird? What must I add-on? Lightening? Is this a suite of programs? All I care about are my calendars and task agendas that you see in the screen-shot -- not any email programs etc. Just this personal management system that you see.
SECOND ISSUE:
After I downloading, installing, and adding-on what I need, how do I then move (migrate) my profile (data) over to new computer?
Please know that I do know where that 'profile' and its .ics calendar profiles are stored. I am also well backed up. I just need to know how get (downloaded/install) what I need and move this over to the new computer. (See screen-shot)
First, what must I download and install and add on. Second how do I move this data/profile (a virtual Life) over to the new computer without it all coming down like a house of cards?
Please, unless it's all been documented in one location, a link to this and a link to that probably won't be very helpful. Anyone who can lay-out a simple, easy to follow plan (1, 2, 3, 4, done) will be a hero and make a significant contribution to people who dread buying a new computer for precisely these reasons. It will certainly encourage more people to use this absolutely wonderful personal management system. It's the best I've ever seen and I must keep it. But it's soooo risky.

Obviously the screen-shot is posted so show what I see now and want to see when I am done. Was the ''really ''not clear? Nothing could be more germane ("Germaine" is a person's name) than a visual that shows the multiple calendar dynamic and what I actually want to see nor better communicants the fact that all I want is that and not other programs in a suite – a question btw asked but not answered.
"I have no idea what the threshold issue is. Perhaps Zeno can assist you."
I now see Zeno's reply but I never got an email re: my questions and just noticed it. I will respond to him separately. But ''obviously ''the ''''threshold'''' issue is ISSUE ONE (1) exactly what, and only what, must I download and install.
Was that really not clear? That was not answered in your first reply. And since you here, later, state that Lightening does not need to be downloaded and installed how on earth could you presume the first threshold issue (question 1) was a joke?
Once again I wrote and you even quoted me “Please, unless it's ALL been documented in ONE LOCATION, a link to this and a link to that probably won't be very helpful. Anyone who can lay-out a simple, easy to follow plan (1, 2, 3, 4, done) ...”
As this exchange demonstrates, that statement has certainly proven to be correct.
You then wrote, “Read the question... the question is. How do I move my profile to a new computer? You are the one making much more of it than that. ... All covered in the link.”
What “the” (singular) of several links (plural) you provided are you talking abut? But no matter. No it was not "all" covered in the multiple links you sent which do not address the more important threshold question (1). The only issue you addressed was (2) data transfer which is secondary to the threshold issue which is ISSUE question one (1). Threshold issue/question presented: before we can go to question (2) we must address question (1).
As I stated “Please know that I do know where that 'profile' and its .ics calendar profiles are stored.”
You replied “No you do not. Local calendars are not stored in ICS files.”
First please notice you make no attempt to clarify where they are; but, once again, please read carefully. I did not say that the calendars are “stored in the ICS files” but that the .ics files ARE the calendars and I do know there they are stored.
Please see the screen-shot you claim is not germane? Each of those different colored calendars are (“not stored” in but are) .ics files that are stored in the Profile directory. In the directory c:\Users\myName\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird is a directory or folder called \Profiles and in that directory is a file named 9w2ydrc4.default. That file IS the profile. In that profile is a folder called “calendar-data” and in that folder are the calender .ics files that are the different colored calenders you see in the very germane screen-shot. So I do know where the calendars are. So I gather that all I copy into the Profiles directory is the file (profile) called 9w2ydrc4.default.
Again, as I wrote before, I do not want a full suite with email. So what do I downloaded and install to get only what you see in the screen-shot. I don't think we ever installed a full suite before. I never saw and email program. So, again,'' asked but not answered. ''
Then you stated, I do not need to download and install Lightening (please notice, is a partial answer to my first, threshold, question you presumed was a joke) but only Thunderbird since “Lightning is already in your profile so will move with it When you actually move the profile.”
Well, since you like to use links, exactly what is your documented Mozilla authority for that hearsay? Since I posted the question I have spent much time at Mozilla. Literally everything I have seen indicates I must first download and Thunderbird. But again, I do not want to and never did, install a full suite of programs and, as far as I know, there is no Mozilla mail or other suite programs on this (my current old computer) and there never were. So, once again'', asked and not answered).''
Everything at Mozilla states I must first download & install Thunderbird'' and then ''add-on Lightening. Nothing I have seen at Mozilla suggests otherwise or states that when we want to get Mozilla calendars over to a new computer we must first and *only* download and install Thunderbird and then just copy the profile (9w2ydrc4.default) into the 'Profiles' directory. Nothing I have seen at Mozilla suggests I do not have to download and install Lightening. So please show me where Mozilla documents that. ''' Please notice that even Zeno states, “You download AND INSTALL LIGHTNING as an add-on.'''”
Since this contradicts you do tell me: what is your Mozilla authority for claim that I do not need to download and install Lightening because it's already in my profile? I see nothing in my profile that suggests Lightening is there.
Finally, I wrote to you “ ...it is axiomatic that Windows transfer wizard does NOT transfer programs but only data. You did not know this?” I only wrote that because it appeared your reference to Transfer Wizard was a response to the threshold question of (1) how to I get the program onto the new machine. But your response is''' very '''strange for you wrote “You are the first person I have encountered that thought it did more than transfer data.” Show me where I said that. I said the opposite. How on earth did you come to that interpretation as a response to my simple and very clear statement that " ...it is axiomatic that Windows transfer wizard does''' NOT transfer programs but only data.'''.”
