I lost all my bookmarks downgrading to the previous firefox because the new one is horrible

I downloaded the new firefox today but it sucked! All my plugins didnt work, and it just kept pissing me off. I had to keep updating stuff like adobe for youtube.
What I did was I kept the old firefox on my mac and put the new firefox in a different folder. I uninstalled the new firefox after finding out how horrible it is, all my bookmarks got deleted in the old firefox too! All my settings and plugins too!
I looked in the application data folder, then went to firefox and bookmarks.html. and the other one in there. but still nothing! Both files wiped dry!
I liked firefox before but this is a huge downfall. Im ready to leave firefox if I dont get my bookmarks back!

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • I lost all my playlists when downloading the new itunes. Anyway to get them back?

    I lost all my playlists when downloading the new itunes. Besides honestly wanting to cry, is there anyway to get them back without making them all AGAIN? And thanks so much, stupid Apple. Am looking for a new MP3 player to take your stupid ipod player's place. I used to love my ipod...now everytime I turn around, apple has screwed with something that causes ME time and trouble.

  • I had a recent loss of my iphone. i had purchased another iphone, and had all my info transfored onto the new one . i have either lost,or some one else has taken it. if battery is dead and the phone is not activated how might i still locate this phone????

    i recenly purchased a new iphone,and had my information transfored from from the old iphone onto the new one. i have either lost,misplaced,or someone else has taken the iphone. the old phone was momentarily out of service, however i had activated the "find my phone" in the settings. i figure the battry has already ran down so if it were in the house i would still be unable to locate the phone.when logging into icloud to try and locate the phone all i can find is the new iphone i recently purchased. does anyone have a few suggestions i might try to locate this phone ,or am i S.O.L. ??????

    If the battery is dead the only way to find it is to physically look for it.

  • I got a new computer and all applications were transferred to the new one. When I launch Acrobat 8 Professional, I get a warning that Acrobat cannot be launched now and that I need to launch another application e.g. Photoshop which is already launched. An

    I got a new computer and all applications were transferred from the old one. However, when I tried launching Acrobat 8 Professional, I get a message that says: "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be opened at this time and I need to launch another application in the suite e.g.Photoshop" which is already launched. Is there some help around this?

    It appears that you have the CS. What new OS do you have. If it is Win 8.1, you may have to purchase a new version of Acrobat for that system. Folks have succeeded with AA 8.1 on Win 7, but I have not heard of any successful installs on Win 8.1. As for the issue you have with the new OS, you do have to follow the CS install process that is different than the stand-alone Acrobat (there are some posts that discuss the process if you search).

  • I lost all my email accounts except the first one listed with the 24.5 update

    I haven't used thunderbird in several weeks, working only from my gmail online accounts. I opened TB 24.5 to find all my email accounts missing except for the first one in the list. 4 gmail accounts are now missing. Just recently updated to 24.6 and this did not solve the problem. I am using Win7 pro.

    can you explain more

  • Today withI have lost all my bookmarks passwords profile after Firefox updated to the newest versionout asking me first

    I have lost all my bookmarks passwords profile etc after Firefox updated to the newest version today without asking me first. I liked what I had & several times a day it would say there are updates but I closed those popups or messages. Im now using the latest version just so I can have some use while I try to sort this out & get help.

    I'm adding that I tried system restore several times .... & my last full backup.... but each time something was corrupted or would not launch or there was no '''.exe '''file in the program folder...Ive never seen this before, & the Mozilla backup I had was useless... it was unable to launch either

  • I backed up my new iphone and only got the pictures from the old phone i lost the ones on the new one. is there a way to get them back ?

    i have an old iphone and than i got a new one but never backed the new one up because i was waiting for a computer charger i just got the charger today i backed the old phone up than the new one i transfered the pictures from the old one to the new one with no problem but lost any pictures i had on the new one can i get them back

    It sounds like you restored the backup of your old phone to your new phone.
    Unless you backed up the new phone first or manually copied the pictures off prior to restoring the backup, the pictures are gone.

  • How do I change the default program to open Pages docs to the old (4.3) version instead of the new one (5.0)?

    How do I change the default program to open Pages docs to the old (4.3) version instead of the new one (5.0)? When I do what Apple said and go to a Pages file in finder and select "get info" then select "Pages 4.3" and "change all" it just defaults to the new one even though I'd selected the old one. Do I need to completely uninstall the new version of Pages or is there another work around because the new version of Pages comes dreadfully short of the features I need that are included in the old one?

    HOWEVER, if you modified a document in 5.0, 4.3 can't open it. You'll have to use Time Machine to replace the modified version with an earlier version that was last modified in 4.3.
    Actually there is a workaround.
    If you open the file in Pages 5, it can then be exported on Pages 0.9 format to another folder. I had to do this as the document was only in iCloud and couldn't be recoverd by Time Machine.
    Worked for me!

  • Lost all my bookmarks. According to Mozilla Health Check I got 58 (thought it was more). How to I get them back? Tried to follow your notes but got nowhere.

    I have iMac upgraded to Snow Leopard. 30/7/13 obliged to reboot my computer and when it restarted found I was upgrading to Firefox version 22. Lost all my bookmarks. Understand bookmarks are in profiles/places.sqlite. Upgraded to version 23 on 7th Aug. and repeated attempts to restore bookmarks have failed.

    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
