Lost bookmarks and passwords after uninstalling aurora. Please help!

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/811670''
I uninstalled aurora and when i started firefox up all my book marks and passwords was gone. :( The last time i had backed that stuff up was months ago and i had a ton of new book marks and passwords. I sooo need them back. I have a feeling they are gone for good BUT i was hoping there was a chance that there was something i dont know about. Ya know? Thank you for any help i get on this.

Luckily for me Windows System Restore worked, I hope this might help someone who's been victim of this stupidity from Firefox. (Be warned! Restore might affect other applications and/or changes in your system).
This is just f'in ridiculous, I really tried to be a loyal and proudly Firefox user, tried to promote ffx to other people and help with feedback, this time with Aurora, and when I uninstalled it, it vanished my profile, so stupid.
However I wish you good luck ffx!

  • Lost bookmarks and tabs after upgrade to Firefox 12

    Against my better judgment I upgraded to Firefox 12. Immediately all the bookmarks were gone. Every time I started Firefox, I got a "New Tab" with nothing else. No bookmarks. No remembering of the previous tabs. I did a restore and thought I had fixed it since everything came back, however once I shut down Firefox and started it again it was back to the blank Firefox with nothing and "New Tab". I was previously on Firefox 10 and very reluctantly ever upgrade, but I had updated another computer to version 12 with no issues so I said "what the heck, worked once should work again." Wrong. Unfortunately this is my main computer. Please help.

    I fixed it by following cor-el's advice below. Make sure to check View->Toolbars->Bookmarks Toolbar when you restart Firefox after doing the solution below.
    Thanks cor-el.
    '''If a places.sqlite.corrupt file exists'''
    If your Firefox profile folder includes a "places.sqlite.corrupt" file, one reported fix is to open the Firefox profile folder and, after closing Firefox completely, delete or rename the places.sqlite file and then rename "places.sqlite.corrupt" to "places.sqlite". (If you see any other places.sqlite* files, delete those as well, so that only one places.sqlite file remains.) It is possible that certain security or "cleanup" software (e.g., CCleaner) is causing the places.sqlite file corruption. It is also possible that Firefox was not closed properly, as might happen when your computer loses power with Firefox running, which can cause a corrupt places.sqlite file. Always make sure that you close Firefox properly (e.g., no Firefox processes in the Windows Task Manager) before shutting down the computer. [9]

  • Ive lost iphotots and iweb after hard drive failed help

    Hi my hard drive failed yesterday and I took it to the apple store who confirmed it had failed.  They advised I should purchase a new one, provided me the specs and fit it myself.  I've now clearly done that because I'm writing this
    However I've reloaded everything back on but i've noticed my iphoto and iweb are missing!!!  I really need these apps, I cant remember how I put them on the machine, be it disc or download but clearly ive paid for these app.
    Please please help me I really need these apps as I have current workload dependant on having these apps

    iPhoto is included with the iLife apps and can be downloaded from the Mac App store or if your Mac is slightly older and came with an earlier version of OS X then Mt Lion then those apps are on the second system install discs that came with your system (Which I suspect it is an older Mac as iWeb is no longer included in the iLife suit of programs).
    So dig out your original system discs and use the one marked Applications to reinstall those apps. Then update them from software update.
    If for some reason they won't install on Mt Lion then you will need to wipe the drive, Re-Install the original OS X version and the iLife apps then upgrade back to Mt Lion.
    EDIT, NOTE: To the OP and DS store.
    iWEB Still works on ML as long as it is updated to the newest version. If the Applications disc is new enough it will even install on Mt Lion.

  • How do I recover bookmarks and passwords after an O/S change, and the old programs are in a windows.old folder?

    Recently, I had a non-recoverable crash of my Windows XP Pro system. I clean-installed Vista (would not allow an upgrade install), and it moved all of my settings and programs into a windows.old folder. I'd like to be able to recover my stored passwords (even if I have to manually re-enter) and my bookmarks for Firefox. I was running version 4 at the time of the O/S crash. Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Just as I expected. Before following my instructions, you might need to change your folder options to show hidden files. Now go to:
    '''C:/windows.old/Documents and Settings/<username on XP>/Application Data'''
    And copy everything inside the '''Mozilla''' folder to
    '''C:/Users/<username on Vista>/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla'''
    If the '''Mozilla''' folder doesn't exist, create one.
    Now, go to '''C:/windows.old/Documents and Settings/<username on XP>/Local Settings/Application Data'''
    And copy everything inside the '''Mozilla''' folder into
    '''C:/Users/<username on Vista>/AppData/Local/Mozilla'''
    Again, if the '''Mozilla''' folder doesn't exist, create one and rename it to '''Mozilla'''.
    Hope this helps!

  • SLOW and SLUGGISH after clean install PLEASE HELP!

    My Macbook Pro started acting slugggish a few nights ago, and it seemed after a reboot that it ran better, but quickly slowed down.  I ran permissions, disk repair, reset the PRAM the SMC and etc... nothing helped.  I tried to do a Time Machine restore and after 10 hours of SLOW restoration (it still had 70 hours left) i decided to do a CLEAN INSTAL of Yosemite 10.10.
    Same thing, takes over 10 minutes to boot up and i click on something and the beach ball will spin for a minute.
    Disk Utility says everything is OK.... but even the internet is sluggish as if the entire machine is not processing the information fast enough.
    ANY HELP is greatly appreciated as this is on day 4.
    Thanks
    Steve

    CLEAN INSTALL took over 8 hours to complete, as if everything is running in slow mode.
    Also, i ran this app as i see most ask for it.

  • I need to update to 6.0 but it doesn't work--I've tried several times and it never gets past the stage of "connecting to update server"--so how can I update without uninstalling first and losing all my bookmarks and passwords?

    I have a MacBook Pro with Lion. Every few days Firefox will tell me, "you really need to update to 6.0," and I say, "yes please!" but then it says "connecting to update server" for ages and ages and nothing ever happens. I wouldn't mind uninstalling the old one and downloading a new one, except that I have lots of bookmarks and passwords saved, and I don't want to lose them all. So what's going on, how can I update?

    Thanks, but, using the "free" version of Reader, there is no opportunity to open nor import the xml data - the menu options do not exist - there is no import listed.
    If we try to open the xml file directly, then we get an error - something to the effect of "unsupported file type, or the file is corrupted".
    I just noticed in my Pro version that there is the command File ->Form Data ->Import Data to Form... command. Is this what you are referring to?
    What do you recommend? Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to purchase a few copies of Acrobat Pro for the reservations people to use? I was hoping that the free version of reader would do it, but perhaps not?
    Thanks again,
    Rob

  • How do I retrieve bookmarks and passwords from a Windows backup, after OS re-install?I have a full Windows backup of my machine, pre re-installl

    I had to reinstall Vista 7 OS. I have a full Windows backup of my machine, prior to the re-installation. How do I retrieve the bookmarks and passwords from the backup? I understand they're stored in various files a ".default" folder in C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\mozilla\firefox\profiles. When I try restoring the folder, the files get skipped... When I try browsing for the individual files, I don't see them!

    Many thanks for your responses... After a little scouting on the web, I have found THE solution... This is all due to the way Windows 7 Backup works, and will NOT let restore apps...
    ("File restore in Windows7 is not designed to restore back applications. This is because the application state is spread across potentially multiple folders, files & registry. Windows7 file backup is not aware of where all the state is spread to be able to restore the entire application accurately as such information is internal to the application. Restoring application partially might corrupt the application and render the application unusable. So we do not allow restoring applications from file backup.
    In case files under C:\Program Files etc. are chosen for restoring, we block restoring files from backup to such locations as it might cause the applications to not function.'')
    What one has to do when restoring is to NOT attempt to restore to the original location, but to select the radio button which allows you to type a path where you want the files restored and type in the path of the original location!!! Then select copy and replace...A little quirky (and tedious), but it works!

  • After update to version 4.01 from 3.6.17 all my bookmarks and passwords are gone,how can i get it

    after update to version 4.01 from 3.6.17 all my bookmarks and passwords are gone,how can i get it
    my bookmarkbox is emty , how can i bring back the bookmarks

    First it would be helpful to get more info. Do you keep your music in the default location inside the iTunes folder? Do you use iTunes to keep it organized? Do you have any type of backup of either the iTunes Library files or your entire Music folder? Before reinstalling anything, check that your actual music files are still there. Go to your_homefolder/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music and I am pretty sure that all your files are still there. iTunes keeps its library file on the root level of the iTunes folder. It is either corrupted or you somehow created a new one which subsequently is empty. Hold down the option while you click on iTunes, then choose "existing library" and browse to your iTunes folder and select the iTunes Library file and see what happens. Report back if your iTunes Library file is corrupt.

  • Lost notes and calendar after restore - help, please!

    My phone recently froze and I went to the apple store to have it fixed. They reset and restored it, telling me that I wouldn't lose an info as long as I had recently synched it. I came home, synched and now have lost my all my calendar items and my notes.
    I was able to recover my contacts and songs, because of the little tabs at the top of the synch screen. However, I can't find how to recover the calendar and notes.
    Can someone please help?
    Many thanks.......g.

    Notes are not recoverable unless iTunes has a backup file of a last Sync.
    The problem is this file is over written with each sync so it could be outdated by now with current info your iPhone has.
    As far as Calenders goes. As long as you are using one of the supported programs in the Link below, And it has your calender data in it. You can use the Tabs your talking about and Sync the info back.
    Simply go to Info Tab, Then tell it Sync Calenders, And choose the program based on your PC/Mac and Sync.
    Sorry for the frustration and confusion this has caused you. Best of luck.

  • I have lost all bookmarks and passwords during the sync process, can i still recover this data?

    My old computer crashed and now trying to sync to new computer the bookmarks and passwords did not work. Can i still recover the data?

    Unfortunately Sync is not a back up system and it will sync the information of the active computers. Because your active browser configuration is blank, it has probably deleted what it was in the server.

  • Lost bookmarks and need to restore followed your guide no luck

    had to reload Mozilla firefox and Thunderbird... lost bookmarks and address book and followed guide to restore with no luck..the restore bookmarks gave me a choice of only 2 back up dates and I need to go back one day further to retrieve them..can you lend some help..thanks..this is a physician's office and these are patient emails and business account bookmarks..

    Hey bron_cross,
    Wow, Superb troubleshooting so far! Usually for the symptoms you have described, I recommend the sub-step titled “If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode” located in Step 5 of this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    However, it seems like you have exhausted all of the suggestions in that step. Did you happen to move on to Step 6: Check for third-party software conflicts? If not, here is the excerpt:
    Certain phone and cellular device connectivity software from vendors such as Samsung, Nokia, Bora, Novatel, Sony, Android, LG, Sierra, Huawei, Pantech, or Motorola may cause your device not to be recognized. If you have such software on your computer:
    1. Uninstall the phone or cellular connectivity software temporarily, and test.  Contact the manufacturer of this software for assistance in doing this. If you use the third-party phone or cellular device for your Internet connection, try connecting to an alternate network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
    2. Remove iTunes and all related Apple software by following this article (for Windows XP), or this article (for Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8).
    3. After reinstalling iTunes, test the device.
    4. If you still need your third-party phone or cellular connectivity software that was removed, reinstall this software and test your device to ensure it still functions with iTunes. Contact the vendor of your phone connectivity software if the issue returns.
    Also, third-party security software may conflict with iOS devices connecting to iTunes. Follow this article to troubleshoot issues that may be caused by your security software. After resolving any issues you may have with your security software, you may need to try the steps in this article again.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    InDesign CS5 is not opening after deactivation/activation. How can I fix this? Illustrator and Photoshop open and are working fine. Please help!

    First of all, thank you for replying so promptly to my posts this morning!
    I can't remember how I got the software on his computer, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't through migration assistant.
    I was looking into doing an uninstall of InDesign and a fresh install. However, I initially downloaded the CS5 suite digitally and I can't find out how I am able to perform a fresh install of InDesign. Do you know where I find this info or gain access to download just InDesign again? I can't seem to find anything in my Adobe account that shows where I might do another download.

    Sometimes and this is network dependant if they suspect the phone to be lost or stolen as in this case with change of Sim card and provider then the origonal network can and some will block the phone untill you have rang them and proven it's not the case or if you have bough this 2nd hand then the origonal seller may have stopped paying the contract bill and thus the phone is blocked
