Lost my bookmarks when firefox updated and nothing you say to try works. help!!!!! i need them!!!!

i've tried the suggestions for this and can't get them back

Update: see advice by user cor-el January 11, 2011 and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite - my info below is no longer true for new FF versions.
Usually no reason to panic ... It would be helpful to know what suggestions you have tried. But you find the bookmark file, called bookmarks.html, in your profile folder http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder . Also, there is a folder called bookmarkbackups which has, as it says, backups of your bookmarks: use only if you have inadvertently overwritten your latest bookmarks (bookmarks.html). In this case you could use the "Import and Backup -> Restore" feature ( http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks#Restoring_bookmarks_in_Firefox_3 ).
More info to be studied carefully ...: Lost bookmarks after Firefox 3 upgrade: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks_after_Firefox_3_upgrade , Lost bookmarks: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks , Finding the profile folder on Windows: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Finding_the_profile_folder_on_Windows , etc.

Lost ALL MY PASS WORDS N BOOKMARKS WHEN FIREFOX UPDATED TODAY FEB 2015. I had 10 yrs of info HELP
firefox 32 or 34 it said and I am REALLY UPSET ABOUT THIS. CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE.

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; '''Old Firefox?'''
'''https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile'''
'''https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles'''
These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

Lost my bookmarks when I updated, this is a real pain

Lost all my bookmarks when I updated foxfire as you requested, this is creating a real problem.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I lost my sound when firefox updated on my computer. Also said something like not compatible to AVG . Does this mean my security is no longer working? What happened to my sound from internet sites????

Sound doesn't work when on the internet. Only has happened since firefox updated on my computer Aug. 25-26 sometime. All of my sound divices work fine off the net.

Reset the SMC and PRAM each at least 2-3 times. I don't know where you got instructions for these resets so please navigate to Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets for correct instructions just in case.

When Firefox updates and error message comes up telling me to close other windows of Firefox.

There are no other window of Firefox open. Each time I open Firefox the update starts and then come up with the error. I click on no for the update the next time and the window will open without doing the update.

See:
* [[Software Update Failed]]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates)
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Any idea why a "Special Savings" bar with similar items for sale, keeps popping up on my screen anytime I'm shopping online now? Seems like this started after a firefox update and it's super annoying. Please help!

Anytime I'm shopping for something online now, a bar pops up over the product image with suggestions for buying the same product or similar products online from other websites. It's got "Special Savings" in the bar as the title and says it's powered by "superfish" when you open it. I've not signed up for anything like this and it seems to have started when I updated firefox the last time. I can "x" out of it, but it's a pain and I'd like to get rid of it. Anyone else know what this is and how to get rid of it?

You might have an add-on doing this. Try to see if you have any add-ons doing this. To see if an add-on is affecting it please start firefox in [[Safe Mode]]

When Firefox updated, I lost all my BOOKMARKS besides my toolbar. Can't express how unhappy bar

When Firefox updated, I lost the toolbar including the link for bookmarks. When I "searched" for Bookmarks it said I had none.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I have to agree, fixing something that was working fine and replacing it with the new crap has led me to switch browsers.BIG FAIL MOZILLA
Why do people do this shit.
Turn off updating to keep your good working version or you will be forced to use the new version that is missing some well used features.

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

The green drop down bar for tracker blocking disappeared when Firefox updated today, how do I get it back?

This feature that helps to block ad and social network tracking appeared on the last update, it had a green drop down where I could then get a screen showing the number of tracking that are blocked, not blocked and could block the ones that weren't. Today when Firefox updated it disappeared. I do have the TrackerBlock addon installed, but I found the drop down helpful and would like to get it back.

Sometimes an icon will get removed from the toolbar by another extension. Could you check the Customize dialog to see whether the missing icon is in there? This article has the steps: [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]].

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You can create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
If that helps then you most likely have some security software that isn't working properly.

My friend has lost his iPhone 5.on find my iPhone when entered id and password app says id is valid but not activated. What should I do to find that lost iPhone

If Find My Phone has not been activated on the iPhone before being lost there is nothing more that you can do to locate it with iCloud. The only option is physical search for it.
If you have an idea of the location, call the iPhone and see if you can hear it ring.

When firefox updates, I cannot re-open it. It appears in the dock at the bottom, then disappears. I uninstall, re-install, but it does the same.

When firefox updates, I cannot re-open it. It appears in the dock at the bottom, then disappears. I uninstall, re-install, but it does the same.
It opens after initial install of 3.6.8, but as soon as I add the roboform and downthemall add-ins it restarts and won't open again.
I have had these add-ins for awhile without issues, but for the past two days, I have had to reinstall it twice, and this time it won't work.

hello leehuiling, what kind of security software are you using on the computer?

Lost my bookmarks when firefox updated and nothing you say to try works. help!!!!! i need them!!!!
