I lost my firefox settings!

Hi, I had to reset my laptop because of some issues so I had to reinstall Firefox again. I've lost my history, bookmarks, add-ons etc. I looked around in the forums and it looks like I need a Sync account to save my settings but I didn't have one! Chrome was able to save everything. Is there anyway I can get my preferences back?

Sorry, if you don't have a backup of your Profile folder, then no.
''btw, Sync wasn't intended to do that. It is for synchronizing user data between multiple devices. Sync isn't the same thing as what Chrome does.''

  • I get a "Unable to process the back up file" error message when trying to restore the bookmarks I lost when I follwed the prompts to Reset Firefox settings.

    I followed the prompts over the weekend to reset my Firefox settings, reassured by the message that said it would save my bookmarks, and now they appear lost. I followed the steps of your help articles and got the error message above. Help!

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

  • How can I make my current Firefox settings the default settings, so that PC Tools won't delete the menu bar?

    I use PS Tools Performance Toolkit to clean/repair my (Vista) registry. When the utility runs, Firefox closes. When I start Firefox again, the appearance on screen has been reset to default -- no menu bar and the the web address line is scrambled. All the settings can be manually corrected, but can I prevent it from changing in the first place.

    Can you configure your external software not to clear your Firefox settings (as opposed to, say, cookies and history)?
    Unfortunately, there is no handy backup file of toolbar configuration information (localstore.rdf) to restore, so you would need to build your own system to restore it.

  • I set up iCloud on pc, ipad etc was asked to copy contacts to iCloud and have lost all the settings and groups that they were in for over 2000.  Can I get it back?

    I have Outlook on my PC and thought it would be smart to have my contact in the Clouds where my ipad, work pc, home pc would be updated etc.  So I was asked I though to copy my contacts from Outlook to iCloud.  Instead it moved them and in doing so lost all the settings like Categories and reset how they are listed (used first name because have a lot of drs, phds, msws etc) now listed with last name and so I have a lot of people with md as last name.  This is an organization list and is about 2000 contacts so having to go back and fix it will be a nightmare and unnecessary work.
    Is there any way I can fix this easily instead of correcting each contact one at a time?
    Thanks.

  • I have lost the export settings for FCP7. How can I get these back?

    I accidentally threw a folder in the trash. I got a lot of stuff back using Data Rescue, but not everything.
    I have lost the export settings for FCP7. How and Can I get these back? tia

    Sorry for the delay in response. It sounds like you have somehow deleted your quicktime ProKit with the codecs by what ever process you were trying to restore  you trashed files.
    Go to the Apple Menu > System Updates and see if the updater sees a need to install them.
    If this doesn't work - it might be
    the best thing to do would be to get FCS Remover from Digital Rebellion (free)
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    and try to remove all traces of your corrupt installation and then do a clean install from your original disks, followed by updates to restore the new ProKit codecs.
    If your system has been corrupted by whatever you did, it might be best to wipe the drive and start from scratch - but understood this is not a pleasant choice.
    Other posters may have different or better suggestions. The FCS Pro Apps require a lot of files and file structure that may or may not be apparent, and were never drag and drop installable. They always needed to be installed with the proper installer.

  • Upgraded To Leopard, lost files & user settings?

    Trying to update from Panther to Leopard on 1.25 Ghz iMac, used the Archive & Install. It looked like a successful install until the very end, whereupon the warning "Installation Failed due to problem migrating user data, try again." Perhaps foolishly, I did try again. This time, no error messages.
    However, upon restart, the "Welcome" screen came up, as though I was a new user or had used the Erase option, which I hadn't. I thought this wasn't right, tried restarting in safe mode. This time, I tried to migrate data from existing volume. It came up with the user name, a good sign I thought. Then, it said that migration had failed, due to a folder buried in iPhoto with too long of a name.
    Thinking I was smart, I started up the computer in target firewire mode, connected to another computer. I found the folder, shortened the name, exited firewire mode and restarted. Also ran Diskwarrior to rebuild directories.
    After restart, migration from "another volume" worked fine, but now no documents folder, empty iPhoto folder, mail lost it's settings, etc. The only thing which remains is the user name.
    I noticed a folder with a lot of .plan files, decided to run the Leopard installer again, thinking that it would use these .plan files to resurrect the missing files/settings. No such luck.
    How can I retrieve the missing settings and files? The disk appears to be fine in disk 1st aid and DiskWarrior.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    iLife is not part of the OS. iLife is on the system restore disks that came your Mac. You can restore it using these disks - do a Custom Install.

  • How can i access firefox settings on toshiba ac100?

    I am trying to enable java but I can't access the firefox settings? If I click on forefox logo it just takes me straight to last viewed page and if I right click it just shows menu bar for device.

    You should install a more recent version of Firefox mobile 4.0 b7 is quite old. The preferences can be checked by panning to the right till the sidebar appears and clicking the Gear icon.

  • Can't view an e magazine received in email..Is this a Firefox settings issue?

    Hello,
    I have an e-magazine in my email. When I click to view the e-magazine it will not let me view the magazine.
    I tried turning off my security software to no avail...
    Might this be an issue with Firefox settings ???
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Is this on a webmail site you are viewing in Firefox, or in an external email client?
    Is the magazine supposed to appear in the message, or are youc licking a link to view it in the browser, outside the message?
    Often e-magazines use PDF or Flash; have you noticed any problems with these plugins? In your "More system details" you have two versions of Flash listed, which probably doesn't help. You may need to drill down into the Windows folder to delete the older one (C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash).

  • Help!!! Lost all my settings!

    Help! Just lost all my settings. Didn't do nything, just went to look at my Mail. Clicked on Mail in dock, and found that all my emails had gone from all boxes. Closed Mail and re-opened. It showed a box headed "Wecome to Mail" with "You have no email accounts configured to use Mail. Please enter the following information to send and receive email." The address book was empty. Clicked on Safari and found all Bookmarks gone and my homepage was now set to Apple instead of the previous setting to Google. Clicked elsewhere and got the beachball.
    Rebooted machine (had to press the button.) When it came back the dock had reverted from the previous small magnifiable setting to what seems to be the original "out of the box" dock (ie all my additions that I had previously added, had gone. Mail and Safari were in the same boat (ie no data.) Also iCal has lost all it's entries.
    Help! What's happened? What can I do?

    My first reaction is to suspect your log-in.
    Did you log-in (perhaps by mistake) as a different user ?
    This might explain your being treated as if you just logged in for the first time with all the attendant defaults.
    Is this Mac used by persons other than yourself ?
    If not, do you recall setting the Administration rights to your account?
    If yes, can you get the Admin to look at the state of your files.
    Things to look for: could a folder have been moved or deleted by mistake?
    Last but not least, do you have a (current) backup?
