My bookmarks disappeared. The health report says I have 289, but I can't access them.

I opened firefox and all my bookmarks were gone. There is only 1 backup, it is from this morning and it contains only the default bookmarks. However, when I go to the health report it says I have 289 bookmarks, so it knows they are there somewhere.

"Firefox updates without losing bookmarks."
Clearly it doesn't always, it has done it to me 3 times, once on this computer and twice on another.
"Firefox also automatically backs up snapshots of bookmarks."
Not always, otherwise I wouldn't have posted this problem, would I?
"Your problems may well have been cause by third party software."
That is just a bullshit excuse to not address a serious bug somewhere within Firefox
"Backing up important information is often good practice whether that relates to browser use or general computer use. "
Yet more bullshit weasel words to avoid addressing an issue.
Really people, if you have no solution, then why waste time making such pointless posts. It's almost as if you feel threatened by the fact that there is a major flaw somewhere in Firefox. It's just a browser, and it has a problem. There is no need to post to deny it, the fact that this thread even exists is all the proof you need that the problem exists.

  • ITunes says I have certain apps on my iPad, but I can't access them on my actual iPad...

    iTunes says I have certain apps on my iPad, but I can't access them on my actual iPad. This happened after plugging it in to my iMac. Can this be fixed, or do I have to re-download those apps not appearing on my iPad?

    I assume that you've checked all your homescreens by swiping the screen to the left, and that you havn't filled up the maximum number of screens, which I think is 12 (in which case you will only be able to find them via the search screen - and have you tried typing in their names on the search screen ?).
    Also how did you install them : by syncing from your computer or downloading them straight onto the device ? If you synced them then if Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps is set 'off', then change it to 'on'.
    You could also try a reset to see if they appear after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • The SD card slot has hidden my pictures - how can I access them??

    When I first put my memory card in the SD slot of my Macbook Pro, I imported photos fine. But now all the pictures are no longer visible in iphoto/finder/my camera - the files themselves are not there in the finder. If I take new pictures, those pictures are visible on my camera viewer, and then when I use the SD slot only the new ones are visible until I eject it. There's still space taken up on the card so I don't think they've been deleted - but how can I access them? I don't plan to use the SD card slot anymore, but now I'd just like to be able to access those pictures.

  • I have I pod shuffle but it is just displaying White with a tick in the centre and says ok to disconnect but I can't get anything to work eg menu etc

    I have I pod shuffle but is displaying a White blank with a tick in the centre below it says ok to disconnect but unable  to move from this page

    This is an iPod shuffle...?  A shuffle has no screen, so your problem description does not make sense.  Your profile says "iPod nano," so is this question about an iPod nano?  If so, have you tried doing a Reset?

  • WRT54GS v7: Claims to have connection, but I can't access the internet wired or wireless.

    Hello. I recently moved in with another family member, and he already had a linksys router (this one a WRT54G v5) but after our internet speed crashed from around 300 kb/s all the way to 12 kb/s, I knew somethin was up, and I blamed it on his router, which had been kinda "iffy" in the past. So, since I had brought my router (the WRT54GS v7) I decided to take a crack at i installing it. I restored it to factory defaults and ran the CD, as if this router had never been used. Everything went fine, until trying to connect to the internet... It just wouldn't work, even though ALL the indicator lights were lit (on both the router and modem. The modem is a DSL modem, and the model is: Westell C90-610015-06. ISP is Verizon.) Upon browsing the forums here, I found someone with a similiar issue, except they were using a cable modem. Here is the fix that was posted by a user named toomanydonuts: "Your TM502G modem appears to be a standard cable modem (i.e. it is not a modem-router). Therefore your WRT54GS should work at its factory default settings. You need to reset the router to factory defaults. To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure: 1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall. 2) Disconnect all wires from the router. 3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes). 4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes). 5) Power down the router. 6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port). 7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes). 8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off). 9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router. 10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser. If you get this far without problems, power down the router. Using an ethernet cable, connect the ethernet port on your modem to the "Internet" port on the WRT54GS. Power up the modem and allow it to fully boot (1-5 minutes). Power up the WRT54GS and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes). Power up your computer. Now try to connect to the Internet. If you still have trouble, in your computer, temporarily turn off your software firewall. If you still have trouble, verify that your ethernet card is set to "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain a DNS address automatically". After you get the router working, you can go back into the router and manually adjust the settings, if needed. If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead. If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1. If you need additional help, please state your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back. Please let me know how things turn out for you." So, I tried that. All of it. Including disabling the firewall. Now, the IP address and DNS servers bein retrieved automatically thing I'm a lil sketchy on, simply because I'm not exactly sure how to change that.... What I did also try doing, on top of the above resolution, was to have the WRT54GS clone my PC's MAC address, then restart the router, modem, and computer. This one actually got me excited as the Internet lights blinked a few times, but then still nothing -_- So...is my router dead perhaps? Cuz to be honest, I'm completely open to buying a new router, if needed. Help?

    You only have to clone your mac when using certain cable modem.  You don't clone your mac when using dsl.

  • It says i have bars, but i can't call, top up or text, all it keeps saying is error performing request, unkown request. what is wrong and what do i do

    like it says in the title, I have a 3GS and i'm with O2, it is saying I have service/bars most of the time full bars, but when I go to text, call or even top up, it comes up with error performing request, unknown error. I can't receive calls or texts either, I can't use the phone side of my phone everything else like iPod, Internet etc is working fine, but nothing is working for my phone.
    I've checked my sim card, I've made sure it is in properly, I've turned it off and on. nothing is working
    what is wrong with my iPhone why is it not working, and how do I fix it.
    Please someone give me some answers.
    P.S. I have only had this phone for just over a year.

    It sounds like an O2 problem, you'd have to get in contact with them on 0800 977 7337
    Have you tried the SIM card in another phone?

  • ICloud says it has matched all my tunes but I can't access them

    I bought iMatch, and it went through it's original (and long) setup.  In my iTunes library, however, none of the tunes (4000+) has the cloud logo next to it.  A handful have an slashed cloud. I can't access any of them on my iPhone.  When I try to update the match, it checks and finishes in about 30 seconds, and says I'm all up to date.  Anyone else having this problem?

    To enable iTunes Match on your iPhone go to Settings>Music and turn on iTunes Match.
    Now you should be able to access your iCloud musisc library.

  • HI, I have a Canon Pixma MG5250 printer and it doesn't seem to recognize iPhoto. All my photos are in iPhoto but I can't access them when the printer's 'photo print' box comes up.  Any suggestions? thanks

    Hi,
    I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8
    I now have a Canon Pixma Printer MG 5250 and it doesn't seem to recognize iPhoto, where all my folders of photos are in the computer.
    All other aspects of the printer such as scanning and printing documents are working.  When I open the printer's
    'photo print' box on my Mac, it cannot access iPhoto. 
    I would really appreciate any feedback and suggestions as to what to do.
    thanks.

    If you want to print a photo that's in your library you should do so from iPhoto.  Select the photo, crop to the size you want to print and type Command+P to start the print process.  In the Print window select the paper size and print size, printer and then click on the Print button.

  • I just recently upgraded my iPad and since then certain websites will no longer open up on the iPad but i can still access them on my mac pro laptop.  WHY?????  One of these websites is a work related website that i really need.

    I can open some websites on my ipad but not all.  The websites that are no longer opening were all working up till 3 days ago when I did the update on the ipad.  The websites that I can't open on the ipad i can switch to my macbook pro and open no problem.  I have tried to check all settings and just can't figure out what is going on.  One of the websites I can no longer open is ikea and also a work related website.  I can load the opening page but when I try to sign in it won't do anything including not even an error message.  Please help..

    I have this identical problem.  For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad.  Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something.  Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads.  I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time)  Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc.  There still hasn't been a solution.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
