I want to restore my former Bookmarks from earlier Firefox editions.
Today I installed Firefox 7.0. My former Bookmarks list (a very long, must-have list, created over several years) has been replaced by a new Bookmarks function, which is unsatisfactory for my purposes. I want my former Bookmarks list back. If you cannot provide that list on Firefox 7.0, then I want to return to my earlier Firefox edition. Please attend to this problem at once. Thank you.
Do you mean that bookmarks are missing?<br />
Do you still see any bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar?

I prevsiouly owned an Ipad. Before selling it, I backup it on my Macbook. When the new Mavericks has been released, i upgraded my Mac. Now that I have iBooks on my Mac, I want to restore my iBook collection from my previous Ipad to my Mac. On my Mac, I can only see the iBooks collection of my previous iPad but not the books that I have purchased. I probably had more than a hundred books on my collection (in epub and pdf formats). I have already tried transferring purchases in iTunes and adding to my Library but to no avail.
Can anyone give me a solution to this.Restore as a NEW device to test. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

TS4036 what if i only want to restore my contact list from backup
what if i only want to restore my contact list from backup
Welcome to the Apple community.
Firstly, you cannot selectively restore content from your iCloud backup. Secondly, your contacts are not part of your iCloud backup. -
I want to restore my iTunes Library from Time Machine
I want to restore my iTunes Library from Time Machine, but when I enter the Time Machine, I don't know where to look for it. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
PaulYour iTunes Library is typically in…
Your home directory > Music > iTunes
… and if you restore that entire folder it will revert your iTunes Library in total to the state it was as of the date and time you select in Time Machine. -
I want to restore a back up from icloud from last year but it has disappeared! can i recover older backups?
No, once removed, backups cannot be recovered. Also, Apple will remove backups after 180 days of inactivity, which sounds like what happened here.

How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles (would like to move whole bookmark folders at once if possible) into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles? This is all under one window user account, I am using windows 8.1. Even if you have information on how to do it on a different windows, it may still be helpful. Thanks for any input you have.
Just a note about the difference between these two things:
* "export" and "import" use an ancient HTML document format that all browsers can understand. When you import bookmarks, Firefox may place them into an Imported Bookmarks folder, or into Unsorted Bookmarks. This does not displace existing bookmarks, and Firefox does not automatically remove duplicates.
* "backup" and "restore" use a more comprehensive JSON data file, which contains extra information about your bookmarks (such as tags) not contained in the traditional export file. HOWEVER, a restore completely replaces all existing bookmarks, so the restore feature cannot be used to merge in a set of additional bookmarks.

Some users find the disk-based Windows Favorites folder a convenient way to organize bookmarks. If you do, too, and you do not need to preserve tags on your bookmarks, you could export each profile's bookmarks to HTML and import them all into IE11. Organize them in the Windows Favorites folder, then export from IE11 to HTML and import that file into each Firefox profile.

How do i restore all my bookmarks from an earlier version of mozilla firefox?
Firefox has been reminding me to update my Firefox version. And I did. After installing the new version, it restarted my computer. Now the first thing I did is to restore my previous tabs, the tabs that were open when i upgraded Firefox. But there were no history of my tabs.
Then I started looking at my Bookmarks. I lost all my bookmarks. My heart is pumping now and I want to cry. these are years of bookmark collection from my various works. Am I being penalized?
Please help me. Can I just revert back to the old version? Will this permit me to access my old bookmarks (never mind the tabs, they are still fresh in my mind)? I can't even remember the old version of firefox I am using.
Why didn't Firefox made a warning?
I have been a user of Firefox for a long time. This is the first time that I have lost my bookmarks. This is painful. I seek your kind support. Thank you.

I was having problems with my Windows 7 computer, and HP assisted me in creating a new profile, and then deleting my previous profile (I'm the only user on my laptop). Unfortunately, I did not save my Firefox bookmarks - didn't think to do this! So, I have lost all my bookmarks. Is there any way to retrieve my old bookmarks from my previous profile, and install them into my new profile? IE did not suffer this same fate - all my bookmarks (albeit different ones and not as extensive, unfortunately as FF bookmarks were) are still intact.
Oh no :/ Unfortunately, if you deleted the old profile without saving, my hopes are slim to none on this, but we can try!
Try to search your computer for the file "Bookmarks.html". You can see if it finds it from your old bookmarks. If that doesn't, try looking for "places.sqlite". If you already have Firefox set up with your new profile, you may find the new versions, so make sure you check the dates of the files that are found.
You can read [[Recovering important data from an old profile|Recovering important data from an old profile]], which has more tips. -
Here's what I'm trying to achieve:
1. I use Firefox on someone else's computer and sync my account to retrieve my bookmarks. (This works.)
2. After finishing my browsing session, I sign out of my Firefox account, and my bookmarks are cleared from the Firefox browser. (This doesn't work.)
I have tried the following options:
a) Open menu > Options > Sync > untick 'Bookmarks' > OK. This doesn't clear my bookmarks from the browser, not even if I close and open it again. They all show up.
b) Open menu > Options > Sync > under Firefox Account click 'Disconnect' > OK. This doesn't clear my bookmarks either, only necessecitates me signing in to sync again.
I understand there used to be an option to 'unlink this device', which may clear all data including bookmarks, but I can't find it anywhere. I've also read an article suggesting clearing bookmarks etc can be achieved by deleting your Firefox profile from a device, but I fear this will delete global options such that I won't be able to access them on my home computer.
Surely there must be a way of siging in then out of the Firefox account on different computers, like you can with e-mail, without leaving all your bookmarks etc open for every other user to see afterwards? I'm transfering to Firefox from Chrome precisely because it doesn't have the capacity to do this (scarily), and to clear my bookmarks from a friends' browser, I had to uninstall Chrome on her computer!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.1. Sync wasn't intended to be used in that manner. You would be better off carrying around a USB Flash Stick with Portable Firefox for use on "strange" PC's.
2. You could open the "Library" {Ctrl + Shift + B} and highlight all those bookmarks and then delete them all at once. But that would also delete all the other bookmarks, and it isn't foolproof. All another person would need to do it to '''''restore''''' a bookmark backup file that has your bookmarks. Beyond that, a new Profile could be created and then the current Profile deleted; but that's "messing with" someone else's computer - an action that is worthy of terminating a friendship over, IMO.
And if that "public" computer was set up properly, Sync should have been disabled. -
How do I delete bookmarks from the Firefox Home app on my iphone?
I just installed Firefox Sync on my iphone and it has successfully synced all of my bookmarks. After I read a bookmark on my phone, I'd like to delete that bookmark permanently so I don't have to delete it on my computer as well. I can't find an option to delete bookmarks - am I missing something?
No. It's very involved. That initial syncing of the bookmarks
Was all done at once. After I processed the
Firefox home app onto the phone. there has to be a way that automatically transfers any new bookmarks from the PC to
The home app on the iPhone.
it's supposed to sync automatically. but there is no new data. -

Years of Bookmarks on Mac Firefox were lost when I recently upgraded from Mt Lion (10.8.5) To Mavericks. I refuse to believe there is no way to retrieve them. Suggestions? Thank you!
