Restoring Firefox tabs to new desktop, from earlier synced smartphone?

I was refreshing my computer, by installing a new hard drive, and thus had to re install everything on it.
But, before doing that, I synced my Firefox tabs, to my mobile's Firefox browser.
But, now, when I'm trying get those tabs back on the desktop, it isn't happening. I had Chrome running too at the time, it has brought all the tabs back, that were on my old install.
Please let me know, as I don't see option, that would restore my tabs.
Thanks a tonne.

hello rsscott, do those tabs show up when you go to ''firefox > history > tabs from other devices''?

    How can I get a query in the search field to open in a new tab or new window from the current window?

    If you are searching via the Search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar, this preference can be changed to have searches there open in a Tab.
    Type '''about:config''' in the Address Bar and hit Enter. Then answer "I'll be careful". Type this pref in the Search at the top.
    '''browser.search.openintab''' = double-click to toggle to '''true'''

    I can't open new desktop from mission control if dock is on the right side

    I recently moved my dock to the right so I didn't know the + sign would switch sides. I normally run around that many too depending on how large of a stack whatever I am programming is using.

  • Move ipod/backup to new desktop from netbook.

    Hi everyone,
    I did a search, but didn't find exactly what I needed. I have been using itunes on my netbook would sync my ipod touch with it. I now have a new desktop computer and want to backup my ipod here without changing anything on my ipod. I have no trouble moving over the itunes library, I just don't want to mess up the backup and sync on the touch. What's the easiest way to do it?

    Hi
    Re: NTP... you can have multiple NTP servers assigned, and only the primary NTP server is used for license MAC generation. As such, I would:
    1) set the primary NTP server to be the real NTP address you want to use. This will not be accessible when you build the server with the old servers' IP.
    2) set the secondary NTP server to an accessible NTP server. I do this by setting up NTP on the server you serve the SFTP backup file from. I use Meinberg NTP if this is a Windows box, it's free.
    That way you can build the server (primary NTP not accessible, but secondary is so it's fine). Then after the restore, change IP address and it will start using the primary NTP server.
    I presume deployment type refers to product and role .e.g. a CUCM Publisher, not a CUC server or CUCMBE publisher.

  • Why does Firefox stop opening new browser windows when "Sync" is running?

    I downloaded and installed Firefox Sync v1.4 to my Firefox v.3.6.10
    While Sync is running, Firefox will not open a new window when I do any of the following:
    * Click "New Window" from the File menu.
    * Click "Open in a new window" from right-clicking a tab.
    * Click a link with JavaScript to open the target in a new window.
    No error messages, just no action. I updated Sync to the newest version 1.5 but the problem still exists. Disabling either version in the Add-ons window "fixed" the problem. Is there a setting that causes this problem? Are others experiencing this same problem?

    Firefox 3.5 versions and later have a feature called tear-off tabs.<br />
    You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.<br />
    You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.
    bug489729 (Disable detach and tear off tab):
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • After downloading firefox to a new computer and using sync I no longer have any navigation bar or menu button.

    This is on a windows computer at work. It actually happened on 2 new computers. Before the sync, both the navigation bar and menu button were there. After the sync - Gone! I have tried uninstalling firefox and then reinstalling, but when I reinstall, the problem is already there, and the bookmarks from the sync reappear automatically on the reinstalled version. Is there any way to uninstall the sync?

    Currently UI customizations do not sync. However you can add this about:config.
    services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.uiCustomization.state = true

  • HT201269 if i set up my restored phone as a new phone can i sync it to itunes to retrieve my orignally backed-up data, settings, apps etc.?

    my phone is in recovery mode. i have unsuccessfully tried to restore it with itunes. I did not back-up much of my info with icloud so that option isnt helpful.
    I'm contemplating restoring it as a new phone. The question is: once its restored as a new phone can i then sync it with the backed-up info, apps, pics on my itunes or will it not allow that?

    Restoring from backup and syncing with iTunes are two different things.
    If you restore as new you can sync back your apps/music/contacts http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    If your restore from backup, you get everything back http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • Firefox prevents a new page from opening? why?

    Each time I click on a link in my email, I get an error msg after a new tab is opened:
    "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page"
    And I have to always click the tab that says "ALLOW"
    Why????

    Thank you! . . . I thought I had clicked and unclicked everything that was relevant to this thorny problem, but apparently not.
    I never had this Firefox problem before, when I used previous versions over the years (I guess Firefox default checked-it in a new version).
    Cor-el, may you always catch your prey.

    I just purchased a new iMac desktop and want to transfer Final Cut Pro X from my macbook pro to my new computer.

I downloaded the software dirctly form the apple store online, thus do not have installation cds. Help please!

    Simply copy it across  .  .  .  .  that's all.
    You can use a hard drive, a memory stick or if they are both on a network you can send it that way.

  • Restoring music library to new PC from Carbonite backup

    I bought a new PC to replace an older one and I am having problems restoring my music library on it. I have Carbonite and all of my iPod files have been restored to the "MY Music" file on the new computer. How do I get them over to iTunes or do I even need to use them? Is there just a way to sync my iPod to the new PC and restore them that way? Please help!

    No need to buy anything from the people spamming these forums. There are plenty of free options.
    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • Restoring Itunes library on new laptop from iphone 4

    Hi, my old laptop broke without having made a backup. I now got a new Acer laptop and would like to transfer my tunes from my iphone onto my new itunes library. How do I do that?
    Also, my phone does not ring when someone calls. It buzzes, the alarm works, it plays music through its speakers but just no ringtone.
    Help please.

    While roaminggnome is correct that you should have taken backups it may not be too late to save some of your media...
    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • Web page different from opening link in a new tab or new window from Google search results

    I had been using another browser for a few months because I did not want to lose the web pages I opened within Mozilla. I began using Mozilla again after saving off the web pages. I see that Google's web page pulls in search results as I type in keywords, a feature I don't remember seeing with other browsers along with a magnifying glass icon, like a look ahead of what a web page looks like before clicking on the link.
    With the list of search results, I click on the link and tell Mozilla to open the link in a new tab. I see the google icon, "loading..." or "testing...", then results other than the link I wanted. Those other results maybe bing.com, http://66.45.255.230/click.php?c=0920f96609cb269f1d0045095c09, http://superpages.iarbiz.com/o6gIoMdG6so=-tQ1LeOu1v0kY34rDZ|oRy8Xt294ACu6X, Info.com, Supermedia Reverse Proxy (http://superpages.iarbiz.com/o6gIoMdG6so=-tQ1LeOu1v0kY34rDZ|oRy8Xt294ACu6X)or whatever else. As for the link, I managed to press stop before being redirected.
    This is with any search results listed.
    I thought it was Google.
    Changed to Instant is off.
    Nope. Still the same issue. Have already gone after malware. Tried resetting the redirect value to 0.
    Above results also occur when opening the link in a new page via right menu click.
    Copying link location and pasting in a new window is displaying results okay.
    When resuming use of Mozilla, an update was available and installed. Did not experience the above issues before the update.
    Running version 3.6.12. Running Win XP Pro SP3.
    Had to go back to IE and Chrome/SRWare Iron.
    Example:
    Google keywords: rental cars
    Clicked on Ad: _Avis_Rent_a_Car_, link is Avis.com
    Clicked on top search result: Hertz_Rent-a-Car_-_Rental_Car_Discounts,_Coupons,_and_Great_Rates (magnifying glass), www.hertz.com

    Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />

  • New Desktop, from A to Z

    I'm fairly familiar with Linux, but am more accustomed to distros that come with a fancy GUI that has front ends for everything.
    So what I want to know, is how to install a good smoothe, easy to control and fairly simple to config LIGHT WEIGHT GUI.
    Is Ice the best, or are there others? It's been a while.

    skoal wrote:There are other light WMs around here people like over IceWM, such as "fluxbox" or "openbox".  But those guys are "xfce4" wannabies...
    I hope that was a joke, if not. You're the joke in that statement.
    Anyways. Fluxbox is a blackbox hack with lots of useless features that end up looking pretty cheap and quite ugly.
    There original, Blackbox is back in development with xft/unicode support and is still light as ever.
    Openbox2 WAS a blackbox hack but version 3 was a complete re-write in C with XFT support and some pretty nice themes if I say so myself.
    Enlightenment is one of the older window managers around which aims at looking good and being light. It's got graphical configs for every option except the menu (which people have made gtk/2 frontends for.)
    pekwm is a C++ window manager I've been playing with as of late. It's in rapid development as of late it seems.. It's very light and is starting to bring in alot of features from other window managers. It's very nice from what I've seen.
    WindowMaker is a NEXTStep like window manager which is light but a little clunky by nature. I quite liked my experience with it but couldn't ever figure out how to disable certain things and when asking WindowMaker users they simply said "It's the class of WindowMaker!"
    XFce4 is simply Gnome JR these days, And it's exactly why I don't use it.
    The CVS version looks a little better than the current 4.2 release but I'm still not taken with it. but if you're a gnome user looking for a similiar enviroment without the massive bloat. This is for you.
    I won't comment about GNOME and KDE as not to offend board members.

  • Restoring Address Book on new computer from time machine backup of old comp
