Restoring Old Bookmarks on TenFourFox

I backed up my applications and data, including TenFourFox on my Mac G-4 PPS running OS 105.8 (Tiger).
I then installed a new OS and restored backed up applications. Where on my Mac files are my old bookmarks? What is that file called?

Found the specific file on the backup HD. For a manual restoration of old bookmarks. the path is User>username>Library>ApplicationSupport>Firefox>????>Bookmarks.

Restoring old Bookmarks - after structural changes

Hi all,
Is there any way of reflecting/restoring the 'old' bookmarks with the new elements? We have thousends of defined bookmarks and scared that they may all have to be recreated to see the new fields after few additions and deletions to the web reports?
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Hari

Hi:
As far as the changes do not remove any of the previously existing fields, I don't think you'll have any problem. Either transporting or reloading your data.
If you wana be safe, just create a copy of the ODS, transport it to QA. Then make the changes in Dev, tansport and check results.
But, again, I think you'll be just fine.
Regards,
Luis

Firefox Sync restores old bookmarks

I have Firefox Sync set up on multiple computers. I start one of the computers pretty rarely, maybe once every 2-3 weeks, and that messes up Firefox Sync. Suddenly all my other computers get old stuff from my "seldom-online" computer.
Is this a bug? Is there any way around this? I really like Sync, but if there is no way around this I think I have to disable Sync on that other computer.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Can i delete my exported bookmark html file after i have re imported it and merged it with my restore of my old bookmarks? Same with the json file?

I have recently reinstalled my OS on a new drive and have just successfully restored my old bookmarks and imported any new bookmarks I had saved since the OS install. I just want to know know if it is safe to delete the json file i restored from since this was on the old drive I want to format and can I also delete the html file i created by exporting my new bookmarks before i started this process?

You can keep a backup copy of that old file or make backups of the JSON backups on the new computer. 
You can decide for yourself if you would have a usage for that file. 
If all bookmarks have been restored successfully then you won't need this backup and you can create a new backup regularly if you have modified or added bookmarks.

I have a new computer. When I go to bookmarks, none of my old bookmarks are on Firefox. Can I restore them and how can I do this? I am now using Windows 7.

You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

How can I restore my bookmarks with old Firefox Sync?

I have key sync and password from old Firefox Sync. And I want to restore my bookmarks.
Three years ago I use Firefox sync, but since i don,t use it.

You need to connect to Sync using a pre-Firefox 29 version to restore a connection to the Sync server and try to recover your data. Then follow the instructions to update your Sync account for Firefox 29. See this KB article - [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]
Firefox 29+ uses a hidden Recovery Key and no way to enter the old "Key".
Three years of inactivity? Your data may not be there, Sync wasn't intended to be a data storage cloud. It was created to keep multiple Firefox installations synchronized.

Does windows' system restore take a snapshot of FF and am i able to role back to my old bookmarks that way?

does windows vista's system restore take a snapshot of FF that will allow me to role back to my old bookmarks?
thank you

i created a JSON file before the FF move. JSON files i tried to restore bookmarks from were from dates while i had the folder, yet they did not help it appear in any bookmarks menu or on any taskbar.
six months of bookmarks were in three folders put to a FF taskbar, two folders made it... one named bookmarks did not. it might be a flaw within firefox.

Computer crashed but now restored. how do i get my old bookmarks back

running windows 7 with the new firefox
computer was restored to windows 7 after it stopped working. still has the same drive and i still have all of my old files in the "windows.old" folder.
how do i restore my bookmarks that i had from before the crash?

Your bookmarks (and history) are in a database file named places.sqlite in your old Firefox profile folder. If you restore that folder to the expected location, you should pick up where you left off (which is good if Firefox was working well at the time).

Hi. My system recently went through a "system recovery" which wahed everything away, restoring it to its original settings, etc. I reconnected to Firefox and it is like a clean slate. Is there somewhere I could get my old bookmarks back? Thank you.

Thanks for the info. I went here earlier, and it didn't help. It seems that the Firefox profile I am using is only the one created today when I reconnected with the browser, and no old one seems available. It's history in all the compartments I go to are all today.

Safari replaced all my bookmarks with those from another of my computer... without asking. How do I keep this from happening again and how do I restore the old bookmarks?

Safari bookmarks issue

1. Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari.
2. You can only restore the whole bookmarks file to a previous state. It's not possible to restore individual bookmarks.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Safari
Quit Safari.
Select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window should open. Restore the file named "Bookmarks.plist" in that folder from a backup that predates the unwanted changes.

Accidently deleted the default profile-wher to find old bookmarks to restore?

I accidentally deleted the default profile while try to delete a username for a website, which was memorized by Firefox. On a Mac OSX, where do I find the bookmarks file that was in use before deleting the default profile. I have to restore the bookmarks or at the minimum, gat a list of those with their url so that I can make new.

You are on Mac OS X 10.4, so you do not have the Time Machine that more recent versions have. If you did remove the entire [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and do not have a backup of that folder then all your personal data including the bookmarks is gone.

Can I restore my bookmarks if they were saved to the same profile on a different computer?

So my mom restored one of our computers without telling me or backing up any of my bookmarks. If I'm signed into the same Mozilla profile on my computer as I was on the one that was wiped, will my bookmarks be in the places.sqlite folder? If they are, how can I access them and restore my bookmarks to Firefox?
I also have two old .json files that I've repeatedly tried to import to Firefox using the "restore" feature and installed Friefox 27 to try to use my recovery key to no avail. Can anyone recommend a method of restoring my bookmarks that I haven't tried yet, or tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you in advance!

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your

How can I get my old bookmarks back after I downloaded a fresh copy of Firefox?

While I was at work, my wife downloaded what she thought was an update to our current Firefox App. Turns out it was a "fresh version." How can I get my history and bookmarks back? Do I still have the old version (the most recent version before the download of the Fresh Version) on my computer somewhere?

Hi, please have a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data this article] which should help you to restore your bookmarks etc.

I restored my bookmarks from a resent .json file, but one folder is now empty and one is missing.

Hi,
Because of reasons my computer needed to be refreshed. My old firefox profile folder was saved though, and with that the bookmarkbackups. As the title says I restored my bookmarks from a resent .json file, but one folder (containing probably about a hundred bookmarks) is now empty and one other is missing completely.
In some places I have a 5 levels deep folder structure for my bookmarks, but since the folders missing are from different levels I don't think this is the problem.
The now empty folder contained six or seven other folders, that in turn contained a lot of bookmarks with titles including non-alphanumerical characters. †?|&*()<-/., to be precise. However, if I restore a very old .json (from september 2013) the folders are present and contain the mentioned bookmarks - albeit much fewer, since the file is old. A few other bookmarks still present also contain the mentioned characters, so this is probably not the problem either.
The folder that is completely missing just contained a lot of bookmarks that were to be sorted.
When opening the more recent .json files (I have a whole month of automatic backups to choose from) in the firefox scratchpad it would seem that the bookmarks are missing alltogether, so I suppose that there is not much to do about it (please correct me if I'm wrong), but I definitely want to report the bug.
Is there anything at all to do about it?
Thanks,
Hanna

If the bookmarks aren't present in the JSON backup then it is likely that you got a corrupted places.sqlite file at some time that caused the backup not working properly.
Did you try all the backups?
Note that the xxxx part of the bookmarks-####-##-##_xxxx.json file name shows the number of bookmarks in the file.

How do I restore my bookmarks from a saved file on my computer if it is not a HTML Document file?

Look I had save a copy of my bookmarks on my external hard drive. I had used the file before to restore my bookmarks in the past with no problem. Now it says its not an html doc file. Or when I had to hit the reset button all my old firefox data was saved to my computers desk top in a folder how can I use the bookmark file in that folder. I hope there is a way.

Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension:
* .html for a HTML backup
* .json for a JSON backup
You can check the type via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties. 
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File" 
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links. 
A JSON backup starts with: <nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki>
An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>
