I lost my bookmarks, saved passwords etc while doing trouble shooting information and made reset and it asks import form any browsers i clicked cancel.please help me how to recover my old bookmarks and saved passwords?

Hi,
You can try to start the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Managing-profiles#w_starting-the-profile-manager Firefox Profile Manager] and choose the '''*.default''' profile. Hopefully the bookmarks, history and passwords will be back. You can also check in the other profiles by exiting the currently started Firefox and starting another, or you can also try to start all the profiles one by one by using '''firefox.exe -p -no-remote'''.
As a precaution you may want to take a backup of all the profiles: Type '''%appdata%''' in the Run box (Windows key + '''R'''), open '''Mozilla\Firefox''' and copy the '''Profiles''' folder.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Trovi," "Conduit," or "SearchProtect" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove these files in the same way:
~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/searchplugins/MyBrand.xml
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/External Extensions/fjadmdmahkpbhgbmmkiiaanlnlekelmn.json
~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/Extensions/{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}/[email protected]
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
"SearchProtect" may be distributed along with two other applications: "MacKeeper," which is a scam, and "ZipCloud," which, if not actually a scam, has a dubious reputation. Ask if you need instructions to remove those items.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Upgraded to 8.3, now auto fill is not working. I have checked, rechecked my info, saved passwords, etc. to no avail. Is this bug in 8.3. Never did this until I upgraded.

Upgraded IPad to to 8.3, now auto fill is not working. I have checked, rechecked "my info", "saved passwords", etc. to no avail. Is this bug in 8.3. Never did this until I upgraded. Wife is not happy I upgraded!

Auto fill works for me in iOS 8.3.
Try the standard troubleshooting steps in this order:
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
See here for more details on restore: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
If none of these work your device may have developed a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/

When I downloaded Firefox 4, I lost my norton saved passwords...how do I get that back?

The icon for norton saved passwords along with my passwords disappeared...I want to retreive them...How?

Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Hi Rajvidya Das,
Do the following, then try again:
1.     Close all open apps: Double click on the Home key and then swipe up on each of the thumbnails that appear above the open app icons
2.     Sign out of the iTunes store: Settings>iTunes & App Store, click on your Apple/iTunes ID, then sign out
3.     Check Settings>Safari, and make sure that "Block Cookies" is not set to "Always". If it is, change it to either of the other two options
4.     Make sure you do not have Restrictions turned on. If they are turned on, make sure that access is allowed for Safari, iTunes Store, Installing Apps, and Deleting Apps
5.     Reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays sign back into iTunes and try again
Cheers,

Why do we frequntly lose our saved passwords - will last for a week or 2 and then disappears - happens on 2 computers

Hello & welcome, let's see if we can help out here!
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...

Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?

How to restore old Firefox bookmarks, cookies, passwords, etc. saved in recovery directory to new install of Firefox?

Used Firefox as my browser. Used a cleaner program. On restart, Windows 7 would not boot fully. System Restore to before installing the cleaner program didn't work.
Used HP backup facility to create back of all files, etc. on my C: drive on an external drive. Used another HP facility to reinstall Windows 7, etc. as if computer just arrived the factory. Moved backed up files to C: drive in a Recovery directory.
Installed Firefox 5.0.1. Can't find and import the Bookmarks, passwords, cookies, etc. that should be in saved Recovery directory. Searched "bookmarks" in Windows 7 facility of my C: - got no results.
How to I find and import my old/saved bookmarks, etc. to new Firefox install?

Lost all my saved passwords and the master password. Why and how?

1. I have a blog that has Zazzle marketing "flash panels." About 4 months ago, I stopped being able to see them, even though others on Zazzle could see them. Yesterday I disabled AdBlock Plus and Adblock Helper so that I could see the flash panels. I could see them. Then I turned the addons back on. I think that the master password was still working, because I had to restart the browser and then Microsoft insisted on my restarting, so there must have been updates to install. They didn't immediately work, as I saw some context ads. I got a message from AdBlock that it wasn't turned on for that page, and I followed directions and got it back on. 2. Another thing that I did yesterday, that I don't generally do, was to clear all the cookies. I have Do Not Track, so I usually don't bother with clearing the cookies. I closed the browser. 3. Yesterday I tried some new addons that I don't recall the names of now. I wound up removing them all, so that I could go back to my previous well-running browser activity. 4. I went through my programs and removed all that I did not recognize, about 6 of them.

hello linda, according to norton the toolbar is already compatible with all firefox versions up to the currently released version. please run the norton liveupdate utility repeatedly & until all components are up-to-date. in addition make sure that the toolbar is enabled under ''firefox > addons > extension'' afterwards.
for more information please refer to https://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/Firefox-25-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/1041991

Certain (banking) websites are not allowing me to log in, other banking websites aren't saving password etc info. IE lets me log in.

since I upgraded to the latest version of FF about a week ago, some of my banking websites are giving errors when I try to log in. I can log into them fine using IE. Also the one banking website that does allow me to log in with FF, is challenging me with my security question each time -- even when I tell it to register my computer. Before the upgrade it did not do this.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
* "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
* "Remove the Cookies" from sites causing problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
* In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
* Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.

Firefox homepage changed. Lost Icons for Gmail, YouTube, etc that use to appear on the home page. How do I get them to appear back on the Firefox homepage?

A week ago, my Firefox homepage changed and I've lost the ability to have Gmail, YouTube, etc appear at the left top of the homepage. I tried to reset by going to settings and set the default but still can not figure out how to get Gmail, YouTube, etc to appear on the homepage.
Thank you,
Julia

Is your home page now https://www.google.com/ ?
If you are missing the traditional "black bar" at the top of the page, that has been replaced with an application button on the right side that looks like a grid of small squares. Some creative developers have posted add-ons to restore the old bar. I haven't tried these myself:
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/proper-menubar/ Proper Menubar]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/you-google-bar/ +You Google Bar] - reviews indicate some problems

I have a timecapsule, plugged into router and followed instructions. Firtly, it always flashes amber, secondly when accessing on imac it is asking for a password when i go to prefernces. nothing works and very disappointed how much time wasting in settin

I recently purchased the 2TB time capsule. expecting it to work like all of my other apple products. No chance. I have plugged into router and switched on. amber light just flashes away....
Opening Airport utility and it does see the time capsule, again with a flashing amber light next to it and a number 2 to the right, in red. when i click on it it asks for a password!!! no idea what password it is asking for, tried the network key, tried admin password, tried trusted etc.....
What is going wrong as online help and instructions do not provide any guidance.
thx

I recommend you do a fully isolated setup. Especially if you are using wireless.
Plug the TC into the computer by ethernet. Make sure it is LAN port marked <->.
Open the utility. It should not need a password now to access.. if it does, do a full factory reset.
This is done by holding in reset.. then power on the TC and wait for about 10 sec.. never releasing the reset.. front LED flashes rapidly.. then release the reset.. and wait for the TC to reboot.
In the airport utility select bridge mode under networking.
Go to the wireless page and setup wireless as you prefer.
Update the TC.. disconnect from the computer and plug it back by ethernet into the router.

The iPhone will only show in My Computer if there are photos in the Camera Roll that have not been imported to the computer yet. Also, if the phone has a passcode lock, you need to unlock the phone prior to connecting it to the computer for it to be recognized. Another part of this to getting the phone to sync is if you have been prompted to "trust" the computer. If you do not select yes to trust, the phone will not be shown in iTunes.
If you updated iTunes and it is still not recognized, then try the steps in this support document. Pay particular attention to step #5. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
