Is my Firefox profile information stored on the Net? I deleted it in a system restore and need to retrieve my Zotero library.

I was wondering whether Firefox profile information is stored on a server. I use Windows Vista and recently did a system restore, wiping my hard drive after backing up my documents. Unfortunately I didn't realise that my Zotero library and notes were all stored inside the Firefox profile folder, which seems to have been deleted with everything else. Would any of my information have been stored on a server anywhere?

It is not. For future reference see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information#Backing_up_your_profile
By default, your profile is stored in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\ Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Appdata by default is a hidden folder. You can show it by going to Organize | Folder and search options | View tab | Show hidden files, folders, and drives

Firefox shut down & updated in the middle of my work; I could not restore my session; you have literally cost me my job and future.

Firefox shut down & updated in the middle of my work; I could not restore my session; you have literally cost me my job and future if this cannot be fixed. I don't understand why it updated without me prompting it to. It also never ask to report a crash.
I went to play a youtube video, my entire screen flashed, when the screen came back, the youtube video screen was green. I refreshed the page and my system stopped- a blue screen appeared and something about verifying disk or something. My system the restarted, and when I opened firefox, it first said preparing updates and when it did finally open, the new updated version, of course, I could not restore my previous session.

You can check in the Firefox profile folder to see if there are numbered sessionstore-##.js present.<br />
The sessionstore.bak file could also have a previous session.

You can also try to restore a previous copy of the sessionstore.js file if there is one present that could contain that lost session.
*Right-click: Properties > Previous Versions

Be sure to make a backup copy of all sessionstore files before making changes.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

I can only print first 80 or so pages after I download firefox - if I do a system restore and uninstall firefox, the problem goes away... until I download firefox again and then I again can only print the first 80 or so pages - even if I am using IE!

This began when business increased in January and our print jobs got big (printing invoices off the internet). It can print any small job no problem but if it's over 80 or so pages, it will stop and show a spooling error. I have done system restores and uninstalled firefox and then Internet Explorer will print the big jobs UNTIL I REINSTALL FIREFOX. Then the problem resurfaces whether using firefox or IE!!! Why?! I don't care why - how do I fix it? All 13 other computers use firefox and that is how my staff is trained. I hate IE.

Hi,
Yes, you can save each form after filling the information, but each with a different name.

You're saying that when you click on the iCloud preference pane button it sends you to the defunct MMe
rather than giving you this?
Is your profile up to date, i.e. are your running 10.7.5? Make sure you click on the iCloud button and not the MMe button.

The difference between system restore and last good known configuration

hi,
what is the difference between system restore and last good known configuration.
in which situation you use system restore ,and in which situation you use last good known configuration.
very short answer wil be enough.
thanks
johan
h.david

Last Known Good Configuration deals only with Starting Windows eg. a bad registry or incorrect driver is preventing Windows to start.It recovers the registry settings of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet
While System Restore uses restore points to return your system files and settings to an earlier point in time without affecting personal files. Restore points are created automatically every week, and just before significant system events, such as the installation
of a program or device driver. You can also create a restore point manually.You can undone system restore but there is no such option in Last Known Good Configuration.
Last Known Good Configuration is disabled in Windows 8 or,Windows 8.1 by default.
Try using Last Known Good Configuration if you can't start Windows, but it started correctly the last time you turned on the computer.
Try using System Restore to return the system to an earlier point in time when things worked correctly.

Time Machine is one such program, although it is a recursive backup program which offers limited archive capability, based on the capacity of the backup destination, and it requires you set it up before you start editing your files. Some programs are also Versions aware, which offers a kind of restore capability by file. Again needs to be setup before you start editing.
Just a for-your-info:
Mac is not an acronym, it is a nickname for Macintosh.

It helped earlier but it has come back again. I don't know what to do. I tried what you said earlier but this time even this is not working either. And quite intrestingly my phone won't turn off. I turn it off, it goes off and then restarts on its own and then keep giving the same message again and again.
Could it be a charging cable, is there any chance that the cable which was working fine one day could turn to be "incompatible" with iphone the other day????????

all my programs are opening in adobe even the system restore and the regisrty -
how do I reset all programs to their originall default programs.
Please help.
PS I have also tried starting in save mode and still have the same problem.

Hi,
As
BurrWalnut mentioned, first please run a virus scan to eliminate virus infection (if AV program is not opened in adobe)
The files association could be corrupted in your situation, apart from the solution posted in the first reply, I also suggest you check Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set your Default Programs or Associate a file type or protocol
with a progra,, manually check the association and check if it can do some help.
Add: another way to open restore point is launching it in recovery console, please refer to this guide

IMO, seeing that you are using WinXP, you might be better off with the older Flash 10.3.183.90 version. Flash 11.0 and later have "improvements" that don't work on WinXP - only Vista and later. Adobe did continue to support and provide security updates for Flash 10.3 until a few months before WinXP went EOL back in April of this year.

When I type fi in InDesign, the f is deleted. If I hit backspace, the f comes back, but the i is deleted. I even tried to copy the text I need from Word. When I paste it, the f is deleted. I've restarted InDesign and tried a different keyboard.

Why did the latest update delete my music from my phone and laptop?

Is there a solution to this problem? Right now I am not very happy with either of these applications. Not only that it add stuff to my iphone that I will never use and can not delete it from the iphone.

I have lost the purchased downloaded files to install Photoshop Elements 10 and need to obtain them again so I can reinstall the program and continue my use of it. How can I do this?

You should be able to re-download the PSE10 downloadable-installer from your Adobe account, if you log in to that—I’ve only ever purchased DVDs so cannot give you click-by-click instructions. Here is what an Adobe-chat rep just told me:
“If you purchase the download version product you may re download the product from you Adobe account. If you purchase the DVD version and somehow you lost your DVD we can provide trial download link depends on the situation. we are able to provide you the download link if the download link is available on Adobe server.”
If you have an issue figuring out what to do, then you can start up your own chat session by clicking the Chat Now button on the bottom of this page:

They will probably want to know things about your purchase including your serial number so be ready with that if you do start a chat session.
