If I upgrade to FF 4, will all bookmarks and stored passwords automatically be transferred to 4?

Nothing to elaborate on really. 3.6.17 is currently installed and I need to know if passwords, bookmarks [and settings] will be automatically transferred to FF4 ? If not, I won't bother as my wife is the only user, but the aforementioned content is VERY important to her.

The easiest way to update is to use the '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates''' menu.
Your bookmarks, passwords, customizations etc., are maintained in a folder which is not affected by the upgrade process.

    1. Should be possible to do that; go to the Utilities menu and select 'reset password' before starting the installer. (while booted from the DVD of course)
    2. Standard installation of SL only replaces system components; applications, user data and preference settings should not be affected.
    3. But you do have a backup just in case, don't you?

    As Austin Kinsella1 says, it's a good idea to check your program versions.

  • Bookmark function not working at all; lost all bookmarks and can't recover

    I have lost all bookmark function, all bookmarks, and have tried all of the suggested tips for recovering them. I found the "profile" file within Help->Troubleshooting Info.->Application Basics-> but there's no information about what to do with it once you find it. It's an application apparently. I have quit everything running, restarted, etc. Nothing is working. Please help.

    Thanks I've checked out the manual.
    Under the "Data Transfer" menu there are two options "Server sync" and "PC synchronisation".
    Neither are mentioned at all in the user guide!
    I assume it's the latter I'm interested in, and all it does is give an option for a user name and password.
    I've set a user name and password, but I'm not sure what they're for, there seems to be no option in PC Suite to put them in.
    Any other guidance much appreciated!

  • After upgrading toFirefox 4 and Syncing, I lost all bookmarks and history on one PC.

    I had been using FF 3.6 on 2 PCs untill yesterday, and only the native browser on an Archos 101 IT Android tablet.
    I have
    - upgraded 1st PC (Win. XP) to FF4
    - added FF mobile to the android tablet,
    - synched both : OK.
    Then,
    - upgraded 2nd PC (Win 7) to FF4,
    - synched with previous.
    Problems :
    1. on the 1st PC (Win XP), I still have an equivalent of the old horizontal menu (File, Edit, Display, History, Bookmarks, Scrapbook, ?) Is this normal ? There is no 'Tabs on top" option.
    2. on the 2nd PC (Win 7, with the new Firefox button and, whenever Sync is active, I get the unknown error : (translated from french) Sync has encountered an error while synchronising : '''unknown error'''. Sync will automatically try this action again.
    I have stopeed and restarted Sync : same.
    The Personal Bar shows multiple copies of a single button (which existed before on both PCs, once only). I cannot delete any of these button copies.
    3. on the same, I see History when pressing Ctrl+H (OK), but no bookmark when pressing Ctrl+B (empty). The Library (Ctrl+Shift+B) is also totally empty : no history, no bookmark.
    Some bookmarks show (copied from 1st PC, without my old bookmarks) in the Firefox > Bookmarks sub-menu.
    History is not synched.
    Bookmarks have disappeared from 2nd PC. I tried restoring from backups, but nothing showed.
    Anything I can do ?
    Thanks,
    Etienne

    Hi Diovizor,
    Make sure that you do not use [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.
    Also please make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.
    You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: Use custome settings for history. Uncheck "Always use permanent Private Browsing mode"
    Hope that helps!

  • When I update to ios 6 on my iphone 4, will all apps and contacts be erased?

    Want to update to ios 6 ... but will the update erase all contacts and apps....photos etc?

    It didn't for me, but make a backup first just in case. 
    That said, you should really consider whether to update at all, iOS6 is really, really, really bad!

  • Apple Time Capsule 3TB firmware upgrade 7.7.2 will not accept "&" in wifi password.

    Recently bought 2 Apple Time Capsules to backup my laptops, macs and so on. Installation was easy, I could easily connect them to my existing wifi router in 5 minutes.
    But, they stopped working 3 days ago and I was surprised why I could not see both of them on network.
    My Seagate's GoFlex Home works beautifully in every aspect. So, I thought there is no reason that both the capsules are not working any more.
    I spent whole evening to find the problem. And, the problem was that my router's wifi password had "&" in password characters. While, "&" worked perfectly in firmware 7.7.1, both capsules could not connect anymore because they upgraded themselves to 7.7.2. So, I removed "&" from my router password and reconfigured both the capsules and they worked like a charm.
    I love them because I can put them anywhere in the house and connect to them wirelessly from any device, watch movies and so on.
    Just wanted to tell my "&" experience and help, just in case someone gets lost with the same problem.
    Long live Apple! Miss you Steve.

    My continual refrain in these forums is that Apple now is using SMB networking.. Mavericks is SMB by default.
    See http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/06/11/apple-shifts-from-afp-file-sharing-to- smb2-in-os-x-109-mavericks
    The rules for SMB are much tighter and people are continuing to have issues because the Apple Setup is allowing and indeed defaulting still to names with spaces and non-alphanumeric characters.
    Although the rules are not as tight as this.. my rule of thumb is short.. no more than 20 characters.. 10 even better.. no spaces and pure alphanumeric. For the least issues with networks.
    Passwords should be 10-20 character mix of upper and lower case with numbers.. ie still pure alphanumeric.
    All names and passwords should follow.. except if you are really paranoid you can use passwords longer than 20 characters. 

  • How to clear all bookmarks and then IMPORT

    .Mac synch messed up my bookmarks. I really thought "merge" meant add any that weren't there before. Instead every single bookmark now appears twice, including the bookmark bar.
    How do I delete everything - to start with a clean slate, and import from an export I created from my Powerbook? I think it is time to ditch synching and do it manually. I never really worked for me anyway.
    I looked at <<Reset Safari>> but that doesn't mention bookmarks?
    Ian

    Hi Vegemite,
    To CLEAR ALL Bookmarks you can trash the Bookmarks.plist. You will find it here ...
    Finder>Home_Folder>Library>Safari Folder>Bookmarks.plist
    I suggest to drag the Bookmarks.plist first to the desktop an import them again from your Powerbook. When everything is OKAY than trash the Bookmarks.plist from the desktop.
    Good luck ... post back ...

  • My daughter has loaded a security system, and has forgotten which one, and we have lost all bookmarks and history.

    We cannot access any bookmarks or history since my daughter downloaded a security system to protect the computer files. She cannot remember what the file was she downloaded. How can I get the bookmarks and history back?

    And does she have current backups of all her important files?
    Operating a business with a computer and not keeping current backups is a very dangerous thing to do. Hard drives can fail at any time. Experienced IT people will tell you there are two kinds of hard drives - those that have failed and those that are going to fail. The only question is when.
    Best of luck.

  • Lost-All bookmarks and bookmark folders

    All my bookmarks and bookmark folders have disappeared. How do I recover them? I am using safari 1.3.2 Can anyone help with this?

    warning: it's long
    I too lost all my bookmarks/folders in Safari -- after a Verizon DSL install-induced browser hi-jacking. See http://www.red-sweater.com/blog/?p=78
    for a story that captures my own experience nearly to the last detail. But, unfortunately, unlike the blog author my bookmarks.plist was not a back up of my extensive bookmark collection -- it was a big zero, like some other responders to that reported.
    I am a total amateur, just your basic user, and couldn't follow the code discussion toward the bottom of the blog, it's over my head. But, although not knowledgable, I am desperate and persistent and rarely accept "can't be done" answers, even if I don't really know what I'm doing and keep getting that same answer.
    I tried all the standard suggestions so far, searching .plists, searching my hd for anything safari, anything bookmark, anything .html. Read many of the discussions on lost bookmarks, tried everything I could understand how to do.
    I stumbled upon in the ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari over a thousand files with crazy number/character names that all have suffix ".webbookmark" I probably did have over 1000 bookmarks. When I double click one of those .webbookmark files in that folder, a webpage springs forth in Safari, one of my former bookmarks. Also, click in the finder on one of those ~.webbookmark file and 'get info' and it shows the .html file name and bookmark name for it.
    I believe this is somehow my old bookmark collection, and not a history cache, for various reasons: upon clicking, I recognize the webpage that appears and I know bookmarked anywhere from a few months ago, as well as some oldies, but have not visited recently. Random spot checking seems like no sites I recently visited but did not bookmark are showing up.
    Would not be fun to double click every one of the 1000+ .webbookmark files in the metadata/Safari to open the page it represents and then "add bookmark" in Safari, to restore my bookmarks. Is there some automatic way of doing that? Am I not understanding the metadata folders enough and have tricked myself into believing they are my real bookmarks and not history or useless stuff. It's totally possible my ignorant forays and fleeting glimpses (but not, out of the corner of my eye....) are fool's gold.
    Can someone let me know whether this is worth pursuing, and if so, how, and if so how so in plain terms because of my limited knowledge and floundering around without understanding what I'm doing and what it means.
    I know, I know, I should have backed up before I did the *&^@! install, I should back up before I do anything, and do it regularly anyway. Don't laugh too hard now, but get this, when I did back up before, I didn't know what I was doing and just backed up "documents" folder (see, told you I was ignorant; but, older and wiser now...) But I had no idea something like getting DSL would screw up my browser (and my apple mail -- that's a different awful story too, still unresolved) and who knows what else.
    No, I have not used another browser since early 2005, and wasn't as 'bookmark crazy' then as I've been the last few years (or my life wasn't as complicated then and I didn't need to bookmark a lot of important, and I mean important, as well as obscure sites, that I don't need on a daily basis, but do need, but don't want to search through thousands of google hits to find the right one, when I realize I need it again...). Yes, sure, i will salvage what I can from IE and Netscape although they're way incomplete and frozen in time of simpler days.
    A thousand curses upon my evil DSL provider who thinks browser/mail/etc. hi-jacking is fun and smart PR.
    I will appreciate any help. (and it's understood if the real answer is "can't be done;" worth trying here though) Just point me to the right discussion if this has already been attended to.
    Thanks!

  • Lost all bookmarks and backup bookmarks all of the sudden

    As of now, I only have bookmarks as of 8-17-2012 and all othher bookmarks are gone. I restored bookmarks I had backed up in a HTML file from 6-15-2012. I have lost 2 month's worth of bookmarks and I don't know what they are. How do I get the bookmarks that I made between 6-15-2012 and 8-17-2012?

    First, let's make a safe backup copy of any remaining bookmark backups.
    Open Help > Troubleshooting Information and click the Show Folder button.
    Do you see a folder named bookmarkbackups? Make a copy of that folder somewhere safe (e.g., the desktop). If you look inside the folder, are there some that appear larger than the most recent ones? If so try to restore the larger one using the procedure described in this article: [[Back up your bookmarks or move them to another computer]] (see the Restoring from Backups section).
    If none of the backups look promising at all, is it possible that you created a new settings (AKA Firefox profile folder)? In the Windows Explorer window, navigate up a level and see whether you have any other profile folders. If so, investigate whether any of them might have recent bookmark backups.
