I've clicked 'forget about this site', can I undo this by running the 'system restore' feature to recover my history?

I accidentally clicked 'forget about this site' and I'm looking for a way to undo this. I've heard there is no way to recover the history from a particular site once it has been deleted, but surely it leaves some kind of record in the system? I read an article that suggested running the 'system restore' feature which gives me the option of 'restoring my computer to an earlier time' before certain changes were made. Would this work?

no, updating the browser won't have an impact on your history - all your personal data will remain.
a general tip if you want to avoid data loss/highly depend on this data, is to back-up your firefox profile regularly: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

I use Firefox 'Most Visited' for easy access to the websites I use every day. I inadvertently clicked 'Forget About This Site' on a page that I need. That page is gone, apparently permanently, from my 'Most Visted' list. How can I get it back?

I use Firefox 'Most Visited' to access websites I use many times every day. I inadvertently clicked 'Forget About This Site' on a page listing that I need. That page is gone, apparently permanently, from my 'Most Visited' list. No matter how many times I re-visit the page, it will not show up on 'Most Visited'. How can I get it back? Thanks!

Most Visited is an automatically generated list that shows sites that you've visited. 
If you delete the history of a site then you have with a visit count of zero. 
To make that site reappear in that you you will have to visit that site often enough to make the visit count match the other sites in that list or clear the history from other sites in that list.
You can make the Visit Count column visible in the History Manager to see how many times you've visit sites.

I accidently hit "forget about this site" in my history, and it deleted all related sites to it. i desperately need to get them back. how do i retrieve the forgotten or deleted sites from history in firefox4 ?

i use the firefox4, and when i went to my history, i right clicked to delete a certain site, and accidentally hit the last option; (forget about this site) which deleted all the similar sites to the one i clicked! i.e. if it were facebook site, all facebook sites were gone..
'''how do i retrieve the sites i lost in history?'''

Tony, thnx for the prompt response,,
however, i didn't delete. i hit the below option which reads; "forget about this site" which is the last item in the list that appears when you right click any site in history.
i was told there are open source programs that can retrieve it.
'''how sure r u that they cannot be recovered?!'''

How to undo "Forget about this site" to restor my history???

how to undo "Forget about this site" to restor my history
i use this item in right click in history window
what do i do?

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove everything from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious if you need to keep passwords or other data from that site and you can't recover from that unless you have a backup of the affected files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

What is the difference between "Delete" & "Forget about this site" when deleting a single item in the 'History' as a 'customising' procedure ?'c'

I am still using Firefox on Windows XP

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

I am a very brand new Mac user. So anyway, when I point to the apple and click on "About This Mac", it says the operating system is, "OS X Version 10.8.2. The question, is this "Mountain Lion", or is that additional software I need to download?

Yes 10.8.2 is the latest version of Mountain Lion. 10.7 was Lion and 10.6 was Snow Leopard.

How do I Choose About This Mac from the Apple Menu.

I installed Maverick. Appears to have been a big mistake. So I went to Phone help and the want my serial number before they will talk to me. So their site says that I should "Choose About This Mac from the Apple Menu." I don't know where the Apple Menu is. Help.

The Apple menu is at the top left hand corner of your screen, click on it and about this Mac is the first choice.
Click twice on Version to get serial number.

I'm still with you, just having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that you reinstalled OS X, which is like shooting a mosquito with a cruise missile, yet the problem remains.
Here is the KB article for your review: Reinstalling Mac OS X
Admittedly there is not much to it, but it should have eradicated the problem.
I would guess that the 17 "hp_" messages have something to do with Hewlett-Packard and in fact I do use an HP printer with the computer. I uninstalled the printer software and reinstalled it. The printer seems to work fine, but the kernel extension error messages still keep appearing. I'm inclined just to delete these 17 kernel extensions and then, if the printer doesn't work correctly, unintall and reinstall the printer software again. Sound sensible?
It certainly does. The only thing I can think of is that the OS reinstallation did not recognize those kernel extensions and left them untouched, AND the HP uninstaller did not remove them, AND the HP installer did not perform correctly. Having suffered through several HP botched software attempts I tend to believe that remains a posssibility.
If you are so inclined, I would remove the troublesome .kext files as you say, then reboot. Be prepared for the printer to stop working, but once you remove them try the printer again anyway. The vast majority of printers do not require any specific downloads since their drivers are already built into OS X.
As a last resort try reinstalling OS X again (I know...) and run Software Update to bring everything up to date. Apple released some new printer drivers a few weeks ago.
Finally, if this doesn't work post the same question as a new topic since I am out of ideas. A new topic will get more attention than unresolved questions with responses.

I can no longer hold down a key and get the character to repeat as say, aaaaa. Instead I get a menu of accented a's, such as àáâäæãåā. I can't find any thing in the System Preferences that allows my to turn this function off

Back up all data before proceeding.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled NO
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Log out or restart the computer.

In About this Mac, Storage, the Backups takes up about 49gb, do I need this and if not how do I get rid of it?

Yes, I used TM for the first time about a month or two ago, using an external HDD to backup my Mac and my daughters Mac's as well. The exHDD has not been regularly connected to my Mac Air and I've seen a couple of warnings come up stating- Time Machine was unable to backup your computer because..... (I forget ).
Correct me if I'm wrong but if this disc space is being used for the snapshots, then as I continue to use my computer then the space used for snapshots will submit? to the other apps requiring more space. So this probably isn't something that I need to worry about?

Upgraded to IO6, seems like the amount of system memory to run is higher, this causes issues with some Apps. I can't get SIRI to work because the amount of free system memory is not enough. how can I tell what is eating the system memory?

I am having trouble installing photoshop Lightroom. I have the S/N #... I need it to be confirmed and activated so i can receive an email to activate the system to my computer. I am not sure how to go about doing so.

I am having trouble installing photoshop Lightroom. The program is installed and has some sections blocked off. I have the S/N #... I need it to be confirmed and activated so i can receive an email to activate the system to my computer. I am not sure how to go about doing so.

If you have a serial number, you simply need to enter it into the proper fields.
Since you don't say what version of Lightroom, and what sections are "blocked off", let me guess that you have Lightroom CC, and you need to enter the serial number to turn it into Lightroom 6. Here are the instructions: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Help | Serialize Lightroom CC trial to activate as Lightroom 6
And if that's not the right assumption, then please give us the details.

Office 2013 - Word cannot establish a connection with this document after the system resumed from suspend mode

Hiya!
This issue has been answered numerous times for Office 2010 and Office 2007, but I have yet to any solutions or Hotfixes that work for Office 2013 (x64) on Win7.
How to replicate the issue:
Open a file from a network share.
Edit file.
Leave computer on with file open. Computer goes to sleep or into stand-by mode.
Wait a bit
Wake up computer
CPU opens file in Read-Only mode and gives you the following error "Word cannot establish a network connection with this document after the system resumed from suspend mode. Save the document into a different file to keep any changes."
What I've tried:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2434898 - Office 2007 registry fixes. Does not apply.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2413659 - Office 2010 problem. This exact issue. Says 'No microsoft products that match this hotfix are installed'
Work Around:
I can saving new versions of these files overrides this issue, but this is sometimes not possible for end-users who only have specific access to ONE SPECIFIC FILE in a particular network share.
Please let me know how I can alleviate this issue!
Thanks
-Chris

Hi,
Are those problematic documents created via previous versions of Office?
Please also try to run a repair of your Office 2013 installtion and check if it helps. See:

How could we do this without killing the system?

If we take in a file through the PI file adapter that has 1 million lines and read it in and process each line as a single transactionu2026 How could we do this without killing the system?
