MAY DAY !! After FF $ install All BOOKMARKS LOST while uninstall of Firefox 4 8 Beta ?? Whats the workaround to retrieve ?

I had FF 8 Beta 8 installed already and installed FF4 just when it became available.Now all the bookmarks ( my bread and butter ) were imported properly into FF4 when installed.Today I tried to uninstall the old FF4 Beta 8 and guess what ???? the beta got uninstalled successfully but also took along all the bookmarks in my FF4 and I was amazed.I looked into the app folders and there is a file thats 10MB places.sqlite which i hope has all the bookmarks.Can you help me how to recover my lost book marks in this scenario ?? Its urgent please.
Thanks
Annil

Make sure to copy the profiles.ini as well if you copied the xxxxxxxx.default folder from that old Windows account.

  • After successful install, all my adobe cc docs, when open, change pointer arrow, i-beam and window to oversize. When doc closes all return to normal size. I'm on a PC. Screen res set to medium 1920x1200. Any ideas how to fix?

    Ok thanks Linxup I would recommend posting in the respective forums for each of those software titles as opposed to the Creative Cloud Download & Install forum.  The relevant forums are as follows:

    Thanks.
    Just to get the terminology right, neither Spybot Search & Destroy nor Avast Browser Cleanup are supposed to clean viruses. This is what anti-virus software is for.
    Avast Browser Cleanup is a tool that serves to delete unwanted toolbars and plug-ins. None of these are viruses.
    I haven't heard about Avast Browser Cleanup before, and it's certainly not something I'd have used. In any case, it's not supposed to kill your profile.
    ''I have recovered a folder called Mozilla Firefox.bak and some other stuffs''
    So what's in that recovered folder? If it contains the automatically created backups of your bookmarks, you can recover your bookmarks from that.

  • I rented a movie directly from Apple TV. I finished downloading successfully, however, I didn't start watching it right away. Now, a day after, I want to watch it, but ATV tells me I have to start the downloading process all over again. WHY?

    I rented a movie directly from Apple TV. I finished downloading successfully, however, I didn't start watching it right away. Now, a day after, I want to watch it, but ATV tells me I have to start the downloading process all over again. WHY? I thought after sucessfully downloading the movie to ATV, it would be available for 30 days in my ATV, without having to download again. To my surprise, it tells me I have to download all over again. It took me 3 hours to download the movie, now I have to repeat the process? Can someone tell me why? Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV will delete content if it is used to plat something else or is turned off. It only has a limited amount of volatile memory.
    If you want to download something for watching at a later time, it would be best doing it from iTunes on your mac/PC and streaming it to the Apple TV when you are ready to watch it.

  • Not really a problem just would like to know if I install firefox 4 beta...will I lose my bookmarks already in my current firefox browers and is that the same for the farmville game bar from facebook

    It should not be a problem, as long as you are careful. Note the delete settings option when uninstalling firefox will delete bookmarks etc for ALL installed versions of firefox.
    Firefox attempts to retain the profile information, that include bookmarks etc when updating. It may still be prudent to consider other backup methods not entirely dependent on firefox.
    The firefox 4 beta will install by default in a slightly different location, you are then able to run either the current or the beta version of firefox. It is recommended you set up a new profile for the new version of firefox. see

  • My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install.  Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

    My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install.  Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

    I get the impression that most of the users on older hardware experiences similar temperature issues on Lion for a long time now. Awaiting for confirmation from the original poster.
    In the meantime I'm just cautious with regards to pushing the machine to such extreme temps, since something tells me such behaviour which includes monitor flickering and the likes is nothing but abnormal for any type of use...
    Any clues if 10.7.5 does anything on this? If not I'm afraid i see myself going back to SL for good...

    It cracked in Jan 2012 but I jailbroke it in June 2012, than unjailbroke it two days after I jailbroke it. Can I still take it to Apple to get the screen fixed at whatever cost. And can they find out? I wanna make it where they cant!

    Only Apple knows. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The worst is that they say no.

  • Whenever I try to log in to my Gmail account, the page redirects for a loooong time, then says that it won't load properly, and that the problem may be caused by not enabling cookies, but I have them enabled. Any idea what the problem might really be?

    I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

  • After clean install, all configurations goes and all text flies to the left.

    I installed an add-on extension to control popups and malware monitoring. Everything seemed to work, for about a week, and then Firefox began acting up. After working for a few minutes, Firefox looses all configurations, all images disappear, and all the text that is left flies to the left of the screen and stays there. The screen becomes grey and when I move the cursor over the grey area, it turns into a hand from the usual arrow pointer. If I can go to a Bookmarked page it might work (some seem too) or it might just mimic the exact same thing as Firefox. I've done everything I can think of to include, many reinstalls, reboots between reinstalls, clean installs, to searching for everything connected to Firefox has been deleted and then Firefox reinstalled with nothing but the most basic clean install possible. What's left.

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • Lost all my important bookmarks when I upgraded to Firefox 4. I want the old Firefox AND my bookmarks back!!!

    I just upgraded to Firefox 4 and in the process lost all my important bookmarks. Not acceptable!! How do I get the old version of Firefox back including ALL my old bookmarks?

    This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • New install all Bookmarks, History and passwords have vanished

    OK not happy....
    1. Firstly I never gave firefox permission to install the new 29.01 firefox, I just booted up my macbook pro and bingo firefox was installed!!!
    2. now I no longer have any passwords, bookmarks or any History, If I knew firefox was going to just install it self i would of back up all bookmarks and passwords.
    So now I no longer have anything i have looked around this forum all all it explains is how to recover them from a saved file ( which i have done before ).
    So now I might as well go and find another browser as there is nothing i can do... and i dont need a browser in my life that just dumps everything!!!

    ok lets try again, but thanks for the quick reply and helpful link although I can't see this is helpful in my case.
    Ok is it possible that firefox might have saved the files/config from the previous version of firefox so I could retrieve the date and install/add to this new updated version of firefox.
    I DO NOT have an up to date bookmark and password backup its a few months old (ah yes I know I should of backed up but I didn't *yawn*)
