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.

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. -
When I have installed updates for Firefox in the past, I have always lost my bookmarks. Why does this happen and is there a way to avoid it? I want to install the new update for Firefox but I am afraid of losing my bookmarks again. What can I do about this?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Do not worry. Hold Sleep (the button you have at the top of the phone) and Home buttons at the same time until your phone restarts, and then try installing the iOS update again. -

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.

I bought an iphone 5 from one of my friends and unluckily I had yet lost his contact, I had update this iphone to IOs 7 and now it's be locked at iCloud because there was no password . Actually I dont know what I must do for its. Experts, please help me!
The friend who sold it to you needed to clear his Apple ID off the phone before he sold it to you. Of course if it wasn't his phone in the first place then he could not do so. He is your friend but you don't know where he is?
There is nothing that will help you short of getting the password for the Apple ID from your friend. If you cannot obtain that there is no workaround. -
I just downloaded Real/Player to my SnowLeopard Mac OS X version 10.6.8 dual core processor intel core 2.16 GH. 2.5 GB. I downloaded and tried to play a clip from the web. I received a message: YOU DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORIZATION TO UPDATE THIS COPY OF Real/Player. Real/Player IS OPERATING ON LOCKED DISC. I'm new at navigating on a Mac. I would appreciate any help I could get for this or any beginner tutorials out there?
BDAqua,
Ihaven't replied because I've been ill. Thanks for your ongoing support, this is very frustrating being almost computer illiterate.
Here the link to the original Real Player download http://http://eu.real.com/?mode=rp_mac. I uninstalled all Real Player Utilities and files on my hard drive and downloaded it again. I cannot get a clean copy. The clips I downloaded are still there and so is the problem, no audio, no video. I opened up the console and it's like reading a different language, literally! I know I'm taking a huge liberty but perhaps you can find something in the errors that will help (I thank you in advance this gives you any clues)

The above is repeated several timees.
If I could figure out thes tring of messages or errors in computer language specifically related to Real Player, I could narrow the errors down from the search box. Because there were many other messages in the console. -
I lost all my bookmarks when I updated Firefox
When I updated Firefox I lost all my bookmarks
Hi there, have you already tried the solutions in [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]]? If not please check it out. If those instructions don't work, we need to know if your bookmarks are still in a backup file.
Is it possible you ended up in a new profile when you updated? Did you get a message about your profile being in use? This case is also covered in that article.
If nothing helps let us know if your bookmarks are in a backup and what version you upgraded from and if you used the automatic update or if you installed a new version by hand. Also if you have any add-ons installed. -

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.

I lost all my bookmarks when I updated to IOS 7. How can I retrieve them?
After upgrading to IOS7, where are my bookmarks? They disappeared.
"Not typical behavior". I think not. I am yet another person this happened to. Even if I can get them back, you've just wasted an hour or two of my time. I won't be using firefox again after I've recovered my bookmarks. If I recover them. Thanks for nothing.

Why didn't you warn me that I would lose all my bookmarks when I updated my iPad software?
I just upgraded my iPad to the new software and when I went to Safari, all of my bookmarks are gone. Why the **** didn't I get a warning about this before the update? Every time I update software on my iPhone or iPad, something gets f***ed up. For a company that makes such good toys, why can't they update their software half as good as Microsoft?

Lost my gear when i updated injustice
I just updated my ipad because it was running slow and when I did I lost all of my gear for Injustice Gods among Us. Can anyone help? I really don't want to try and win all of that back again. Thanks
If that is a game you're talking about, you might want to try restoring your backup. The backup includes app data, which in the case of games, normally includes game progress. This explains how to restore an iCloud backup: iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud.

Every time I update FireFox I have to re enter all my bookmarks. It is a royal pain and because of that, I have not updated my software for the past several update cycles. I am experiencing crashes to the browser more frequently now and would like to update but ....
Hi djleong,
The newer versions of Firefox (at least for me) have not had these issues. Either way, it is always a good idea to back up your personal information whenever you are attempting something like this. You should check out [[Backing up your information]] for details.
After the update, you might want to check out this list of [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36 common questions after updating] as well.
Hopefully this helps! -
I lost my bookmarks when I re-installed Firefox - how do I get them back?
