In firefox 14 on Linux, how do I restore normal bookmark menu functions?

I'd like to '''restore the normal function''' of the Firefox menus, to the default behavior for a Windows/Mac/Linux Application - where clicking on the menu reveals all of the valid commands as lines of text, with unavailable commands greyed out.
The "Bookmarks" menu seems to have been most affected by changes since 3.6 that were rolled out in release 4 or release 5. Sometimes, depending on the command you want, you have to trigger the bookmark menu dropping down with a keyboard command, and not the normal mouse movement.
I see tantalizing bits at https://wiki.mozilla.org/FX2_Visual_Update/User_Interface_Design, but I'm really looking for the '''User Interface design document that Mozilla developers follow''', while the web page shows something more like the output of a design session.

Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).<br />
You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or other menus like the Edit menu (Alt+E) and Bookmarks menu (Alt+B) and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
* "Bookmark All Tabs" (Shift+Ctrl+D) no longer shows in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
* "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.
* "Bookmark This Page" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of that browser page.

How can I restore my bookmarks with old Firefox Sync?

I have key sync and password from old Firefox Sync. And I want to restore my bookmarks.
Three years ago I use Firefox sync, but since i don,t use it.

You need to connect to Sync using a pre-Firefox 29 version to restore a connection to the Sync server and try to recover your data. Then follow the instructions to update your Sync account for Firefox 29. See this KB article - [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]
Firefox 29+ uses a hidden Recovery Key and no way to enter the old "Key".
Three years of inactivity? Your data may not be there, Sync wasn't intended to be a data storage cloud. It was created to keep multiple Firefox installations synchronized.

See if this works for you.
Open up Tools > Options -> General and toggle the first preference - '''Allow Firefox Developer Edition and Firefox to run at the same time''' - to get back to your previous Aurora Profile. It will tell you to restart Firefox.
If there's a check-mark in the box for that pref it shows the Aurora Profile, if you remove that check-mark it shows the Developer Edition Profile.

Sorry. Sync isn't really intended as a backup medium as you were trying to use it for. It isn't meant to be a storage "cloud". It's purpose is to keep Firefox bookmarks synchronized across multiple Firefox installations or Profiles - so all your bookmarks are the same on each device / Profile.

Bookmarks have disappeared on two machine unable to restore from backup folder in Firefox. How can I restore my bookmarks?

All my bookmarks have disappeared on two machines. I tried used the restore function it did not work, and I tried to updated my Plugins and for some reason Firefox would not register the updates . How can I restore my bookmarks?

Immediately backup the profiles on both machines. Keep the profile backup files and folders somewhere safe outside the Firefox program and profile paths. The Windows Desktop would be a suitable location.
* see [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* also note the information on bookmarks [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
Do you use Firefox sync ?
*[[Firefox Sync - Take your bookmarks, tabs and personal information with you]]
that is not itself a backup, but you may consider the synced second device to be a backup
Restored bookmarks overwrite the existing bookmarks. You may still have some left, but unfortunately you could have overwritten most or all of them with corrupt copies. If you backup the profile at least you have access to copies of whatever automatic backups were made. Note in future that it is good practice to periodically make backups.
Post back again once you have backed up the profiles, and read the linked articles.

My main menu does not appear when I turn on my apple TV first generation, how do I restore my main menu screen?

When I turn on, it asks for language choice, then it asks for 1080i, then it asks for network choices. I choose my network, then it asks for my network password. I enter the password, then it say it does not connect to network, and if I hit menu on remote, it goes back to network selection. I can not get to main menu to see my setting for the network, because there is no menu.

HT2477 HOW DO I RESTORE MY BOOKMARKS FROM TIME MACHINE

I just got a new hard drive put into my macbook pro....im lost with this whole time machine thing. how do i restore my bookmarks and playlists?

Do you only want to restore your bookmarks and playlists?
Or, do you want to restore your entire user? When you installed and ran startup, it should have asked if you want to restore from a Time Machine backup. That would have been the simple way.
The bookmarks are stored in your Library/Safari folder. In Finder, hold down the option key while selecting Library from the Go menu.
Enter Time Machine.
Navigate to the Safari folder and restore the bookmarks.plist file
Then, navigate to your home folder, Music and restore the iTunes folder.
You only mention playlists and not the actual music. If you've already imported your music, I'm not sure if restoring the playlists will actually work as they are indexed on the music files. If your music is stored someplace other than your iTunes folder, restoring the iTunes folder may work. You may also need to restore the com.apple.itunes.plist which is in your Library/Preferences.

No Mozilla Firefox of Internet Explorer How do I restore these?

Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox inactive. How do I restore these programmes?

Hi,
This is from Microsoft support:
If for any reason, one or more icons are not showing correctly, you can repair by rebuilding the icon cache. Icon cache is a hidden file located at the Local Folder. Here is how to do it:
1. Open Windows Explorer (any folder/drive).
2. As the IconCache is a hidden file, you need to enable “Show hidden files” option to see the same. To do this, head over to Tools > Folder Options, switch to View tab, and finally enable Show Hidden files, folders, and drives option.
3. Now navigate to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local folder and then delete IconCache.db file.
4. Reboot your computer to rebuild the icon cache.
5. All icons should be displayed correct now.
But, before rebuilding icon cache, I'd suggest you to create a restore point .
Regards.
BH
