I lost all history, bookmarks and plugin's when I disabled plugins and reset Firefox

I tried to install a java plugin and it didn't work because it said Firefox had disabled it. I then stupidly disabled all plugins and reset Firefox. Now all my history, bookmarks, favorites and website addresses and information is gone. It also changed my homepage from msn to Firefox but I have managed to reset that. But I am lost without my website address and bookmarks.

Firefox should have imported the bookmarks when you reset Firefox.
If you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some of your data (bookmarks, passwords, cookies, form data) is automatically imported and your current profile will be moved to the desktop (Old Firefox Data).
You can recover more data from the old profile (be cautious with doing that).

You have an outdated Java plugin (7 Update 7) that has been disable for security reasons.<br />
You will have to update to the latest Java 7 Update 9 version.
Update the Java plugin to the latest version.

  • When I upgraded to FF 15.0.1 I lost all my bookmarks and history.

    I got a new Mac (OS 10.8.2) and I upgraded my FF (now 15.0.1) . But all my bookmarks and history are gone. What can I do?

    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • 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 had to re-install firefox recently and lost all my bookmarks and passwords, how do I retrieve them? I have already saved them as an html file on my desktop.

    I've been having problems with my computer, and had to delete Firefox entirely several times. I don't believe it was your browser that was the problem, though now I have lost all my saved bookmarks. I did export them to IE as an HTML file, which I still have on my desktop. I am now in the painful process of remembering and resetting passwords that Firefox remembered when I had it originally installed (I am back at ground zero with the browser now).

    Please read this article about restoring bookmarks:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks
    As far as your passwords are concerned, I don't think there's anything you can do. But for the future, you can use the following add-ons to avoid any future loss:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2848/
    or
    http://www.xmarks.com/
    Both are good.
    And a simple way to import your bookmarks (since you already saved it on your desktop as html) is:
    Bookmarks / Organized Bookmarks / Import and Export
    Good luck.

  • 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.

  • After a recent Firefox update, I lost all my Bookmarks and recent sites visited. Also, I am unable to Bookmark any page now.

    After a recent Firefox update, all the Bookmarks I had saved, disappeared. Also, I am unable to scroll down to see the sites I had already visited and saved. Now, when I go to a page I would like to Bookmark, I am unable to do so. I will click on Bookmark This Page but it does not work.

    For the lost bookmark issue, see [[Lost Bookmarks]] and for the bookmarking issue, see [[Bookmarks not saved]].

  • I installed Firefox setup 4.0 RC 1 , in this process I lost all my bookmarks and the passwords saved on various pages . What should I do to recover it.

    I just want to recover my bookmarks ... please help.

    I will repeat a post I have just made:
    See [[lost bookmarks]] and as a cautionary tale with a happy ending the [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/787020#answer-141048 thread] ''"I deleted by mistake bookmarks by uninstalling the previous version of Firefox beta 4.011b... Is there anyway to recover them? "''
    Sorry to hear of your problems and hope reading the other posts helps you with what may well be a very similar problem.

  • Firefox 4 has completely messed up my computer,lost all my bookmarks, and cannot replace them, Tried reinstalling 3-6-13, but they have all gone. It has ruined my browser.

    Installed 4, but it will not work or display opening page. Reinstalled 3-6-13,but the bookmarks toolbar has gone, replaced by sidebar, but it will not accept new bookmarks and will not sync with my other computers bookmarks. I am not an expert deeply regret installing 4, have spent six hours trying to sort it out. Even system restore will not recover the original bookmarks.

    There are two folders: in the original account main /Users folder there is an icon of a house and a shared folder.
    In the new admin account, there is the same thing.
    I do not have a backup, but I can eaisly backup all of my important data by just dragging the user folder onto an external harddrive.
    Yes, I did log out of the old account & into a new admin one.
    Other facts: I cannot create folders in the original (old) account. For both accounts, I cannot access any programs, except for safari and ones that I come with the computer. For example, I cannot open Chrome or Word. Safari sometimes pops open a window that says I have the wrong keychain. This does not happen all the time, so I do not know exactly what the message said, something about keychains.
    Also, when I click on the house in the User folder, I find that my old user folder is inside of it (that's where I can access all of my old documents). The old user folder has the old username that I tried changing (which started this whole mess)
    Thanks for the help--any ideas of what I should do?

  • 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.

  • I have lost all my bookmarks and screen short cuts since the outside telstra cable was damaged and repaired. How can I get them back?

    my internet had been running slowly with lots of fizz and crackle on the line. Telstra came and fixed it, necessitating my having to reset the modem. At first boot up after that, all screen short cuts were gone and all bookmarks were gone. Can I get them back? Help!!

    Hello,
    Please confirm that the problem you faced was this
    #You had an issue with our Internet access
    #Telstra fixed the issue and restarted your modem
    #Now in Firefox you are unable to view your bookmarks
    Is that the issue? If so, it is unlikely that a connectivity issue has caused this problem. Also, can you please confirm if you have enabled Firefox Sync?
    Thank you

  • I upgraded to Firefox 7 and lost all my Bookmarks and the Toolbar which I use every day for all the important things I do on my Mac.. PLEASE HELP ME... Is there some way to restore my previous settings, go back to the older version or something?

    PLEASE HELP!... I am seriously freaking out... I use my Toolbar all the time!... and ALL OF MY BOOKMARKS ARE GONE ALSO!

    I am not an expert or even close, and I offer this only because this is how I figured out how to do it. I used a similar approach to importing all email accounts, email content and the address book into a new version of Thunder bird, but I assume this is common knowledge.
    My system:
    Windows 7 64 bit, recently upgraded from XP64. Installed Mozilla Aurora but seems the same as recent Firefox versions with respect to these features.
    Limitation:
    This solution depends on whether or not automatic backups were done of the bookmarks when you used your old installation. They were on my system and I don't remember doing it, but maybe I did. Others might know if this is periodically done by default. Assuming you have some backup (*.json) files,
    Locate your the bookmark backup files from the old version of your browser. On XP it was located in
    E:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.<your computer name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\bookmarkbackups
    Each of the bookmark backup files look like this example:
    bookmarks-1010-09-22.json
    They might also be located one folder deeper, in my case:
    E:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.<your computer name>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\x72qybcl.default\bookmarkbackups
    Again, they will look like this:
    bookmarks-1010-09-22.json
    Copy all of these .json files to the backup folder on your new installation. On my new Windows 7 file system system I found their new home at:
    C:\Users\Art\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0ptl24i3.default\bookmarkbackups
    On an XP system I'm sure they would be found along a path, possibly on a differed drive, similar to where your got them from as above.
    I fired up Aurora. Drop down "Bookmarks" tab, Select "Show All Bookmarks" (found near the bottom). This brings up the "Library" window. At the top of the window is a tab "Import and Backup". Click this and select "Restore". All of the prior backup files will be available indexed by the date of backup. Select one and all of your prior bookmarks will be repopulated, including the bookmarks Toolbar.
    Hope this helps.

  • I lost all my bookmarks and i can't find them in the last ten packups.How can i bring them back?

    i'm not sure what i have done...either i reinstalled forefox or updated it before and then..i didn't find any of my bookmarks..i restored already the oldest one of the last ten packups...but i couldn't find any of them too..i don't know how this could happen with firefox..plz tell me how can i bring them back?..

    Hi youssef8888, you might also want to search your entire C drive to see whether your bookmark backup files might be in an unexpected location. I would try this pattern:
    bookmarks-2013*.*
    To make sure your search checks for hidden files and folders, see this article from Microsoft: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files].

  • How can i recover my old browser with all my bookmarks and its toolbar

    My laptop was running perfectly well till yesterday. today when i opened my laptop there was a HP update required massage window I pressed O.K as always. After a while when update was completed it has put a funny wall paper on my lap top, and worse, my internet browser has been removed. I changed my browser back to Mozilla Firefox, but now I lost all my bookmarks and its toolbar.
    I also lost all my user I.Ds and password linked to these I.Ds. Now how can I recover this information? I did ran system recovery couple of time from last months dates but I still unable to get the setting of my orignal browser.

    Hello downtownbrown,
    You want to restore your files after a refresh.
    Once you have run a refresh on your PC everything that was not preinstalled on the system is deleted.
    The only way to get the information back on your PC is to have a backup of everything on an external drive.
