Is it possible to access my bookmarks without being able to actually open firefox?

Firefox stopped working suddenly yesterday, no error messages, no response whatsoever, it simply does not open. I don't mind reinstalling, however I would like to get to my bookmarks first. Is there any way to do this without being able to open firefox? Thanks,

What you really need to be doing is backing up all of your user data.
If you are backing up all of your Firefox profile to an external device your Firefox application would be protected. Bookmarks are an important asset, but so are your passwords, your options, your extensions, etc.
You can export your bookmarks to an HTML file on a USB thumb drive and access it almost anywhere on any browser without installing it on a borrowed system. You have to export with Firefox up, and you may be able to use Firefox in Safe mode. You can fix a lot of problems from within Safe Mode, I would see if Firefox works in Safe mode.
If the question is about where to grab your bookmarks so you can reinstall them if need be, your bookmarks are in places.sqlite along with history, but the bookmarks themselves are backed up each day you use Firefox in the bookmarkbackups directory as .json files which can be used to quickly replace all of your bookmarks in Firefox while Firefox is up.

  • I can't access my playlist without being connected to my external hard drive

    I can't access my playlist without being hooked up to the external hard drive. With the external hard drive connected I can sync it on my iPhone and iPad but won't do it for the computer

    If you mean photo albums that were synced from your computer then no, then can only be deleted by re-connecting to your computer's iTunes, de-selecting them on the Photos tab and re-syncing.
    If you mean music albums then yes, you can press and hold an album on the album selection screen in the Music app, and after a second or two you should get an 'x' on it - tap that and it should be deleted.

    I saved some of my music to a Cloud I can't access. Now, they show up as "Purchased" in iTunes, and I'm not given the option of re-downloading OR repurchasing them.
    Music purchased from the iTunes store is not stored in your personal iCloud account, and an iCloud account is not required to redownload them.  You should be able to redownload them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.  If you are unable to, contact iTunes store support for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click ‘iTunes', and then 'iTunes Store', then 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption'.

  • How do i find my serial number without being able to turn on my iphone 4?

    how do i find my iphone 4s serial number without being able to access my phone?

    So, if your trying to locate your serial, or IMEI number in iTunes, assuming that you do have a backup there, click on the half white and half black box in the top left hand corner in iTunes for windows, and iTunes in the top left hand corner on a Mac. After that scroll down to preferences, and then a window will pop up. Select Devices up top in the list of options and then you will see your backups. Hover your mouse over the backups and it will show the serial/IMEI number for your device

  • Trying to switch primary displays without being able to see

    my roommate has an Intel iMac Duo and the built-in monitor is not working. the image is totally obscured by tiny lines. only faint shades can be made out and it's not usable. he bought a miniDVI > DVI adapter and a DVI > HDMI adapter and connected his iMac to his TV. the TV was automatically set as the secondary monitor. so upon start up, his login screen is still on the broken built-in monitor.
    so, my question for y'all is how can we set the TV as the primary monitor without being able to see what we're doing. to do this, we'll have to first log in, (which he said requires typing his user name and password). he tried to log in once by typing his name, hitting tab, typing his password, and hitting enter, but he didn't hear the successful login sound (sound was confirmed to be on by pressing the volume adjust keys). he left for work so i haven't been able to mess around with it. i'm thinking he may need to hit tab first, then type his username, then tab, etc...
    can anyone help with logging in and/or changing the primary monitor? be creative!
    much appreciated,
    eric
    oh ps, i don't know the exact version, but i know it's 10.6 also! if anyone can suggest a better place to post this question, that would be great too.

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Depending on the Mac, the F7 or Command-F1 keys are supposed to toggle in and out of "mirror" mode, which shows the same thing on both displays. I'm not sure if that will help you or whether that will work without your being logged in.

    Thanks, Zombaby.
    I was trying to drag and drop the file out of the download file instead of where the actual file was stored.
    This it doesn't do.
    All these little twists between the brain and  success.

    Does Firefox switch to full screen if you press F11 ?
    You can also try the F10 key to see if that brings up the menu bar.

  • HT201303 using a new computer, and cannot download music without being able to answer security questions.  Is there a way to reset these or get the answers sent to you for one's security questions.

    using a new computer, and cannot download music without being able to answer security questions.  Is there a way to reset these or get the answers sent to you for one's security questions.

    If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within, I think, about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

  • Can I require password to Firefax on my home computer so that a guest can use my computer without being able to access Firefox and my most frequent Websites and my automatic passwords?

    Basically I want to let someone use my desktop computer at home without that person being able to pry into my Google email, Firefox bookmarks, etc. I want to leave computer on because I want remote access when I travel.
    If you have a solution that does not require a Firefox finesse, please let me know that too.
    P.S. As is obvious, I am moderately, but I believe, not hopelessly , computer-challenged. Simple is best.
    P.P.S. I don't know whether it is relevant, but I have not even set up a home page.

    It is best to setup a separate Guest Windows account for that user and protect your own account with a password.

  • After merging MobileMe to iCloud I am left without being able to access all services

    Before iOS5 I had two accounts with Apple
    [email protected] for iTunes. (this is the id name)
    [email protected] for MobileMe
    Last night I merged my MobileMe to iCloud using my MobileMe name [email protected]
    This address doesn't allow me to access support
    It doesn't allow me to use tools such as Find my friends
    When logging into [email protected] it asked me to add a MobileMe Address so I added [email protected]
    I am unable to verify the address as its used on the other one.
    How can I a) keep my [email protected] address b) ensure I keep all my data and c) merge the old account leaving me with just the one?

    I am/was having the same problem. I ended up logging into my MobleMe/Apple ID account with iTunes and authorized my Mac to use the Apps/music. That's working great now, though I'm locked out of auto-sync and redownloading any purchese I've deleted for the next 90 days, but all is great with Wi-fi syncing! :-)
    The problem I'm left with is not being able to access any of my MobileMe stuff. May iCal and book marks won't sync and I'm not sure if it's because I'm now using Lion or if it's actually MobileMe. To update any Calendars and have them sync to my iPhone, I have to go into iCloud.com. I'm still left without bookmarks though.
    I'm not sure why they can't merge the two accounts, it's very frustrating for me and I'm sure thousands of other people!

  • I'd like to know if it's possible to access an older version of a web page in Firefox.

    I'm wondering if it's possible to access an older version of a webpage I've since made changes to -- the site is through Livejournal.com -- in order to see the information that was on the older page. I'd like to keep it consistent with the new page, but am not sure how to do this. I very stupidly didn't save a copy of the old page!

    If you know where the page is at, I myself don't see any reason why you can't access it.
    The only thing I could think was if Livejournal.com had a lock on the page or if you had to sign-in and your u/n and p/w had expired.
    I'd say go ahead and at least try.

  • TS3623 is it possible to watch rented movies without being connected to internet?

    Is it possible to watch rented (itunes) movies without being connected to internet?

    Being connected to WiFi or a cell network has nothing to do with charging. The iPad will charge when connected to the charger or an appropriate USB port regardless of whether the iPad is connected to a network of any type, or even has ever had such a network connection set up.
