My profile on firefox got deleted.

I just got finished running disk clean up, and both google chrome and firefox stopped working. I uninstalled both browsers and tried to re-download them using internet explorer. Internet explorer wasn't letting me download anything so I got the startup applications from my laptop, and put them on a jump drive. Then i used my jump drive to put the browsers back on my computer. I got google chrome working, but not firefox. When I open the browser, i get the error message "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible"

History got deleted after firefox update 14, keeps repeating

I updated my Firefox Browser v 13 to v 14. However, after this my history got deleted without my deleting it. So I had to manually type each letter of my favourite sites.
But this problem keeps recurring. For example, I might visit gmail.com many times to appear on my most visited list; but after some time, the history will get deleted, and once again I will have to reenter each word of my site.

Hi,
Please check these in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Privacy''':
The current option chosen beside '''Firefox will:'''
'''Always use Private browsing mode''' isn't selected.
If '''Clear history when Firefox closes''' is visible and selected, '''Browsing History''' under '''Settings''' shouldn't be selected.
Under '''Location Bar''' History''' or '''History and Bookmarks''' should be selected.

Can no longer open two Firefox tabs, have close using Task Bar/Processes. Some links won't activate on websites. As per support suggestion,have backed up profile, deleted existing profile, removed firefox and replaced thingsetc

Can no longer open two Firefox tabs at the same time. Will disappear from screen but won't close - have to go to Task Bar/ Processes to close it, some links won't activate on websites. As suggested in the support area I have gone through the process of backing up my profile, deleted existing profile, removed firefox from computer, reinstalled profile in fresh folder, reinstalled firefox 6. I have done this twice for no effect - may work as it used to for a while (30mins) then gets back to its old tricks.
It is a bit irritating.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

History got deleted accidently

My history got deleted accidently yesterday how to recover it? Pls help me..

The History for Firefox is kept in a separate location and in a separate file from IE's History. In Firefox, once deleted, History is not recoverable, or at best is very difficult/near impossible to recover. In Firefox, History and Bookmarks are both kept in a database, '''''places.sqlite''''', in your Profile folder.
If Bookmarks are accidentally deleted, they may be recovered by using ''Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Organize > Undo'' '''but that must be done before closing/exiting Firefox'''; the same is NOT true for deleted History in Firefox.
Best advice, accept the mistake, and just move on.

Firefox keeps deleting my browsing history without warning

I have never had this problem before but all of a sudden Firefox keeps deleting all my browsing history even though I have it set to keep history and cookies. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, I've tried going through the Firefox options for my history and now I'm fed up. I like being able to use the predictive web address when surfing so any information as to why this is happening would be wonderful.

Try to delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
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 cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

My iPhone 5s was just updated recently to 7.1.1. Now my calendar information got deleted and I can't add any events to my calendar. The button in the top right corner should be orange but it's grey and it won't let me add events when I try to click onit

I'm trying to add events to my calendar after they got deleted and it won't let me because the + is grey when it should be orange. Does anyone know what to do?

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

I used "my documents" for the profile folder, I removed the profile and firefox asked if i want to remove its file, and it took ALL my file except a few, all my photographs etc, are these now unrecoverable? as they are not in the recycle bin

I used "my documents" for the profile folder, I removed the profile and firefox asked if i want to remove its file, and it took ALL my file except a few, all my photographs etc, are these now unrecoverable? as they are not in the recycle bin
disaster, thanks firefox 1 year of photos lost

Thanks for the obvious question. I mean it. The very same thought came to me this morning and, sure enough, I had booted into another drive--my old one that, of course, had the old desktop, etc.
It didn't dawn on me that this was the case since I hadn't set it as a boot drive but I guess in the course of all the restarts I did, it got switched.
I'm back to normal again.

I had certain bookmarks on Mozilla and thy got deleted because I had to format and install another OS.Where can I find them?I probably didn't have any account

I had some bookmarks on my Mozilla browser.I don't remember the account on whose name it was signed up.But since we had to upgrade the operating system. the bookmarks and browsing history got deleted.How to restore them back?

The data from the old system may have been saved, depending on
how you did the upgrade. Open your file browser to C:\
In the search box, type in Firefox. This may take some time.
Once the search is done, look for Firefox directories, and check
what folder it is in.

I am on a mac OS X Yosemite, Firefox got slow and then crashed. I have uninstalled it but, when I try to reinstall it crashes upon opening. Any thoughts?

I have created a new profile in Firefox, but it did not stop the crash upon startup.

Alrighty den... I downloaded AppTrap from downloads.com. I was then able to delete all of the associated Firefox files hidden on my computer with this program. Once done, I was easily able to reinstall Firefox and import my settings from Safari. I am back in the groove. Thank you all for helping me narrow down the problem.

When I reset Firefox it deleted my Outlook email account on my iMac

When I reset Firefox it deleted my Outlook email account on my iMac computer. It also moved my AccountEdge accounting file into the Old Firefox data file on my desktop along with all the backups. There are also Microsoft user data files and some Word documents in that file too. I hope you can help because I don't know how to put these files back where they belong.

[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]] this would help for the files associated with Firefox.
However as for the Outlook email, you can restore them with these instructions [http://email.about.com/od/outlooktips/qt/Restore_Outlook_Mail_Contacts_and_Other_Data_from_a_Backup.htm]
I am not entirely familiar with the storage of outlook files in Firefox.

Firefox is deleting my development extensions when firefox loads, how can I stop this, I am losing work

I am developing Firefox addons. Ever since the update to 18.0 Firefox is deleting my development extensions/folders from the profile folder when firefox loads, how can I stop this, I am losing work!

It seems to have stopped not sure if it was a version update or disabling Windows EFS encryption of the profile folders. I have noticed EFS seems to cause issues in general.

Somehow my entire itunes library got deleted ... I have the old ipod nano, which does not connect with iCloud so it has all been saved there, BUT .. I cannot load all my music that I put on and I no longer have the cd's PLEASE HELP!!!!

PLEASE HELP!!! Somehow my entire iTunes library got deleted, and I cannot sync all my music that I put on from cd's (which I no longer have). All the purchased music has been synced, but nothing else! All my other devices are synced with iCloud and lost the material as well ... I am so frustrated, because the nano has not been working properly, and I am afraid of losing it forever, and of course the cd's I backed everything with are MIA!!!! GRRR! Please HELP!!!
Thank you so much!

I can't tell from your post what you have and what you don't have. Are you saying the files are no longer on your computer, no longer on your iPod, or both?
