My firefox crashed and will only let me install a 2.0.0.20 version (computer OSX10.3.9), was running Firefox 3.6 - any way to get back my bookmarks?

i think firefox 2.0.0.20 and 3.6 store their bookmarks differently. i would like to recover my bookmarks from 3.6 which i ran on for a year or more with no problems until this recent vaporization. i know the bookmarks must still be someplace and would like to put them in the right folder of the only firefox version my computer will now allow (2.0.0.20). have done nothing else to change the use, just suddenly firefox quit working and i had to reinstall and no upgrades will install.

I tried your suggestions, but they did not fix the problem. I downloaded Google Chrome and found that it was giving me a similar problem, but it was labeled error #336. I searched for that error number and found it had something to do with proxy settings. I figured out how to follow the instructions for fixing it in Chrome, but in Firefox instead, and that fixed my problem totally. I have no idea how my proxy settings got changed in the first place, but at least it's working now. Thanks!

  • HT201412 My IPod Touch (4th generation) will not turn on at all. It has been charging all day and will only function if its plugged in but when its unplugged all you see is a blank black screen. Any ways to solve this?

    I've only had this for maybe a year and it just quit working.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Scrappy1 what do you mean exactly by doing a scan?
    Under Windows 7 you will want to use the Programs and Features Control Panel to remove your installation.  I would recommend verifying that Photoshop Lightroom is removed from the list of installed applications.

  • I purchased quick time pro, and attempted to download quick time 7, but it says I have quick time x installed.  I deleted quick time x but it still says it is there and will not let me install.

    In the optional install items-Quick Time is not an option. I am on Leopard.
    Then you either:
    1) never had QT X installed and could not have deleted it since QT X is only installed on Snow Leopard (OS X v10.6), Lion (OS X v10.7), and Mountain Lion (OS X v10.8) systems or...
    2) you are actually running Snow Leopard (OS X v10.6) and not Leopard (OS X v10.5) as you just stated.
    Please confirm which statment is actually correct.

    Thanks again.
    When you log into you icloud account on your computer you are viewing data that you sync to icloud not the backups.  You can't view the backups.
    Look at the two links I provided.
    You still didn't answer any of my two questions I asked.

  • Firefox crashed and will not open again, I did not upgrade to 5.0 - is a mac 10.7 Please tell me how to fix this and I don't want complicted.

    my computer upgraded from 3.6 to 5 and crashed and will not now open any pages with firefox. I have tried to reinstall many times with same result. What is the problem? I do not beleive I am alone in this. I had not idea that the upgrade occured on the 15th of June but it opened on the a.m of the 28th and then shut down immediately and will not access my home page or any other page again.

    Try going to the Tools menu item, and choose Options.
    In the popup, select the Advanced screen (cog icon) and under that, the Update sub-tab. On that tab, uncheck the various boxes for checking for updates, and see if that helps?

  • How come my iPod Touch will not let me get the latest software update and will only let me have the 3.1 update?

    My iPod will only let me get the 3.1 update and I don't know how to get a later update.

    What happens when you try?
    Error message?
    Do you have the original ipod touch?  If so, then  3.1 is the latest software.

  • InDesign CS5 is crashing and will not let me accomplish anything

    Although I haven’t done anything different from usual, in the last two weeks Indesign CS5 has been crashing. Now, since Friday it will not let me do any work at all. As soon as I start to work, this message pops up and the program closes:
    "Adobe InDesign CS5 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    My operating system is Windows 7, 64-bit. So far my tech support has run spyware, malware, reinstalled, updated, but nothing works. Even my older files that were previously fine are crashing.
    I hope you can help me figure out how to solve this problem. I'm at a standstill.

    (sorry for the delay, I am still swamped.)
    I suspect an uninstall and reinstall is in order. Hopefully that is all that is required, but if not, you've got some sluething to do to find your problem. Windows 7 crash reporting is essentially non-existent in any helpful way, but I believe John has some thoughts on programs your IT department might be able to run to help diagnose what's going on.
    Wait, I do? I'm not 100% sure, but let's see. :-)
    I think the first question is, do you or your tech have any idea what might have changed in your system that could conceivably led to problems?
    This part is kind of a red flag:
    Thanks Daniel. I've sent your response over to my network tech support since I don't seem to have access to that file. I'm not sure it's the answer because of this scenario: I can open an old file that has been fine, nothing else is open, but when I start to use it, it crashes. I've narrowed the crash down to working with images, I think.
    It sounds like InDesign can't read part of your user profile directory?
    And that, then, suggests a basic diagnostic step: create a new user account and test there (with a copy of the file!).
    With respect to crash diagnostics...the way to examine crashes under Windows 7 is to install WinDBG. It is difficult to use and confusing to install, but your IT department can probably manage it. This will allow you to get a stack trace, which is the diagnostic tool that will tell us what InDesign is doing at the time of the crash.
    So, yeah.

  • Firefox crashed and will not restart. I have even removed the program and downloaded Firefox again and it will not restart. Please help!

    I normally use Firefox as my web browser. when I tried to use it, a message appeared that said it had crashed and would restart. I have tried numerous times to restart Firefox and it will not restart. I have even removed the program and downloaded Firefox and it still will not start. Do I have a virus or bug in my computer preventing Firefox from starting?

    I can access Firefox using the safe mode, which sucks, but I can not get into my profile. I can not access u6krt2kl my string is mlm303va.default

  • Firefox crashed and will not start. I tried IE which will no longer start either.

    I was surfing and when I clicked on ESPN.com firefox crashed without an error message. It would not start up after that. I did a restart and even tried to open up IE for a test (which didn't work either). Every time I shut down the computer it says FF is running...but no luck...

    Just once or twice

    * Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded.

  • I lost text I entered in a text box when Firefox crashed and did not have Lazarus installed. I had clicked 'preview' before it crashed. Any way to get it back?

    I figured it must be somewhere in my history. I've tried checking the caches but no luck. It must be somewhere, because I did click preview multiple times before it crashed and the text was there loaded on the webpage. Is there any way I can get that text back? It was a few hours' work.

    I have a 1.5TB external hard drive and it shows iPhoto, iDVD, iTunes, etc., but it doesn't allow me to open any of them. How can I see what's in these icons if it won't open because it's in a Time Machine backup?
    How old is this Time Machine backup? Is it current?
    To be able to use applications and your iPhoto library and iTunes library you need to restore them from the Time Machine backup.  To get your photos back, you need to restore the iPhoto Library from your Pictures folder, and to reinstall the iPhoto application.
    This would have best been done, when you reinstalled the system using Setup assistant. http://pondini.org/OSX/SetupLion.html
    Did the Tech Guy not use your Time Machine backup to restore your Mac?
    Since you already set up your Mac, you can use the Migration Assistant from Applications > Utilities to restore your old files to a new user account.
    http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
    To reinstall iPhoto: Did iPhoto originally come preinstalled on your Mac, and what was the MacOS X version that came with your Mac?  Or did you buy the iLife installer package?
