How to reinstall Firefox without old bookmarks?

I was using Firefox on both Windows and Mac, and keeping the bookmarks synchronized using Xmarks. Then, as most people know, Xmarks stopped working. I continued using Windows as my main computer, so my bookmarks there are the most up-to-date, and I've backed them up in an HTML file.
Now I want to stop using Windows and switch to the Mac completely. To get the most up-to-date bookmarks, I uninstalled Firefox in the Mac and then reinstalled v15 so I could put in the up-to-date bookmarks. I've tried this a few times now, but every time I do, it pulls in all the old bookmarks. How can I prevent this, so I can get a naked Firefox and then add the latest bookmarks (the HTML file from Windows)?
I've tried resetting Firefox to its default, but it still keeps my old bookmarks and add-ons. I even found instructions somewhere to open Firefox in safe mode, but then I couldn't find the next command that I was supposed to use.

You can use a JSON backup from the Windows computer to restore (replace) all the bookmarks on the Mac computer.

A reset doesn't work because in cases like this that automatically imports the bookmarks among other data from the previous default profile.

My iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this

my iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this??

All apps downloaded/purchased are tied to the apple ID used to download/purchase them.
If you change your Apple ID and do not wish to use the old apple ID and password to update them, you have to delete them and redownload or buy them under the new apple ID.

I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
What is the way to actually contact Apple?
I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . .

Basically what has happened my password was disabled for "security reasons" on sunday (21/10/12), so i tried to reset it, but for some reason i couldnt get into my old email (probably because i havent used it for 2 years), so i read on here i could swap it to a new email that i currently use (which is what i have done) ive swapped everythin over to it (facetime, iCloud etc) but keeps coming up with old email and asking for password

HT5621 I've changed my AppleID because I had to change my email address. But I keep getting asked about my old AppleID because I can back up on iCloud with my new AID or the old one. How do I delete this old ID so I can use iCloud with my new ID

As explained above, my system keeps asking me to fix my iCloud preferences for my old and new AppleID since it's not backing up my files. I don't have access to my old email address and don't have my password for my old AID. How can I delete this and correct my iCloud ID issues? Thanks in advance. By the way, the Apple support articles don't cover this problem in a way that allows me to fix it. This problem exists on my Mac desktop, my iPad, and my

You may want to check, if you have changed all Apple services to use your new AppleID, just in case.

I have a problem with my Macbook air which keeps reloading all my old emails to my inbox. Even thought i delete them, which takes a long time, over 10,000...they keep coming back? How do I delete old messages? Thank you

check your account settings, possibly under advanced settings.
look for an option to check "remove messages from server" or similar.

I feel your pain Robert. I do believe VZW and Apple knew all along the I6 Plus would not be available on 19 Sep and that it was a way to bolster new contracts, renewed contracts and apple sales stats. It's unfortunate the company wasn't more clairvoyant, most of us would have still pre-ordered but been a little less frustrated.

I have 20kb of damaged files on my old hard drive. Are they worth keeping, and if so, how would I go about repairing them?

I got rid of my old iMac G5 computer which ran on Tiger, but not before I retained the hard drive, which was installed into a 'caddy'.
There is a folder containing 20kb of damaged files. I wondered whether they were worth keeping, and if so, how do I go about repairing them?

Hello Sapper,
Mostly they're garbage, text files would likely be the only "recoverable" ones, but...

I finally managed to fix this problem! You have to go into your program files and you will see another bearshare folder, this has two add on components for firefox. Go into the folders, and find the uninstall program tools.
One of them will uninstall here. There is a program called media mrg or something along those lines in your add ons for firefox. You need to delete this, and it should stop bearshare popping up in the tabs. Then just to make sure, I went back and deleted the bearshare folder. You know you have disabled all the right components when it will finally let you delete the folder.

For those previous purchases, you can never change it. App and iTunes store purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID used when you first made the purchase - there is no way to change that.
If you went to https://appleid.apple.com and changed the primary email address you used for your AppleID, then the account itself was not changed, just the credentials. If that is what you did, you need to log out of the store and log back in with the new email address you are using as your AppleID.

I just purchased a one year old iMac. How do I create a brand new admin account?

I just purchased a one year old iMac. How do I create a brand new admin account?

The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1a. If you don't own another Mac
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received those media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Some models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you may not be able to reinstall 10.6 even from the original discs, and Internet Recovery may not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
1b. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
2. Partition and install OS X
If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
3. Other issues
If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.
