I want to restore my information on a computer that was recently reformatted

I recently had to have my computer reformatted due to a virus and want to restore firefox as it was before. I have mozilla backup, but the profile stored there is out of date. But I had been using firefox sync before the reformat, so theoretically the updated info is available. I just need to know how to access firefox sync on my newly reformatted computer and sync up firefox with sync.

Thank you for reporting your results back!
Regarding the documentation, yep, this is such a new feature that it doesn't cover all of the use cases. If you have a spare hour, you can submit proposed edits to the existing knowledge base article, or propose a new one. The folks who maintain the articles could always use some help.

  • Is there a way to get back lost information on a phone that was synced to the wrong itunes account

    is there a way to get back lost information on a phone that was synced to the wrong itunes account? My sister and I share a computer and she accidently did the itunes restore on her phone under my name so all of my contacts, apps, ect are on her phone and all of her info is gone. Is there a way to undo the reset? PLEASE HELP!!!

    She can restore to a previous backup, if she has one. Or she
    can restore via iCloud if she has that setup.

    Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    I lost purchased music on my computer that was purchased in the last 4 to 5 months because of virus. I did not back up the few songs I purchased on cd. I also lost all data on my Ipod nano and had to restore it. How do I download these purchases I lost?

    Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time; you can see what content you can download here:

    You can also re-download content using an iOS device.

    This if course will not apply to songs you did not buy through the iTunes Store.

  • HT1766 How can I bring back the information from an application that was mistakenly deleted?

    How can I bring back the information from an application that was mistakenly deleted?

    Only if you backed up the phone before that and did not back up after that. App settings and data are part of the backup. But all other data will be set back as well, you can't choose a single app to be restored from the backup.

  • I recently backed up my iPad and then I restored it to factory settings. Now, I want to restore it from the back up that I created, but it will not accept my Apple ID password. Is there any way that I can save my data?

    Hi,
    As I have said in the title, I was supposed to do a restore on my iPad for work. I backed up the device and then I restored it to factory settings as I was instructed. Now that all of that is complete, I tried to restore it from the back up point I created and it will not recognize my Apple ID password.  I really hope that I won't lose all of my data, but I don't know what else to do. I have tried entering my password numerous times. I really hope that someone can help me.

    Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
    Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password.

  • If I was to restore my iPhone on a computer that does not have my back up on it could I later restore it to the computer that does have my back up on it?

    Hey Everyone!
    I've been having the worst luck with my updating my iPhone 5 to the new update 7.1.1. In order to recieve the new update or use my phone at all I have to restore my phone and then use one of the previous backups on my computer. The thing is my phone will never complete the entire restore so I keep having to start over when there is 20 mins. left. I was thinking that maybe it is my computer. If I were to restore it on a different computer would I be able to use the previous back up that I have on my other computer?
    PLEASE ANSWER THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE
    Thank you,
    Chelle616

    Hello Chelle616,
    You would want to clean restore your iPhone, then update it like it were a new iPhone and then restore it with one of your backups. Do let me know if still have doubts

  • How do I restore Iphone 4s from back up that was backed up twice in same day?

    I accidentally synced my phone to a friends computer that backed up and synced my phone... I lost all my contacts and  photos and I realized that it was backed up so I forgot to uncheck the "auto sync" and its synced again.  I gound the folder of the back up of the original on the computer but the manifest is different and I cannot seem to restore it to the initial back up.  How do I go around doing this?

    Hi, Nikolaos44. 
    Thank you for the question.  The article below walks you through how to restore from backup for both iCloud and iTunes.  Once you select the restore from backup option, you will see a list of backups that you can select from.

  • Is it possible to restore lost data from an app that was deleted then reinstalled?

    I had a problem switching the accounts on ITunes and accidentally deleted an App, all of its data was deleted and when I repurchased the app(free app) I cannot access the games account. Their support won't let me solve it. Can I restore the lost data?

    Ah. That is a pity, my last backup on Itunes was 2012, the app i only recently got.

  • There is any way to recover some information of a backup that was interrupt for a call?

    Hello,
    I was doing a backup of my iphone 3GS on itunes before a update it. This backup was interrupted for a call and I didn't noticed that, so I update the mobile and recovered it, but when the recover did not work because it was interrupted and I lost all my data, contacts and photographs. There is any way to recover it? I found a part of the backup that was interrupted on the folder of itunes.
    Grateful,

    Unfortunately if your backup is password protected you can't extract data from it without the password.  There are programs that will extract data from an iPhone backup, but not if they it is password protected.  (This is actually a good thing since it protects your security.)  My suggestion is that you make a copy of this backup to a save location somewhere else on your computer so you can restore to it in the future to recover you photos should you remember your password later.  If you leave it there, the next time you sync your phone it will overwrite the backup and will never be able to get it back.

  • I want to restore my home page the way it was before I downloaded Firefox 4 which destroyed my home page features (news, currency converter, horoscope, weather etc.) so I deleted Firefox 4 and re-installed Firefox 3.6.17.

    The look of my home page was perfect with Firefox 3.6.17. I had a strip of whales breaching around the Google logo. Underneath I had all kinds of wonderful things (I forget what they're called) on the page which was divided into sections: weather, CNN, Reuters, currency converter, Rick Levine's daily horoscope, health tip of the day etc. I promptly removed FF4 because my home page was totally ruined and I can't figure out how to restore all these wonderful easy features. Could you kindly help me or has FF totally changed the entire home page layout and I shall never be able to restore them. I have saved a copy of my Profile on my USB stick. I have a MacBook OSX 10.5.8. Sincerely, Myrna Goldstein

    I, too had my book marks disappear when I upgraded to FF 4.0
    I am now back and enjoying FF 3.6.17 (my original) yet I am still
    without my book marks and am floundering trying to recoup.
    Any help appreciated. If unable to see my book marks in the near
    future I will definitely jump ship. It's too bad that FF people have
    created this problem. I am mystified and disgusted with their actions.
