[SAFARI 4.0.5] Bookmark woes: Most Visited, Recent, and any RSS feed

Somehow my bookmark for Most Visited and Recent changed (from what, I don't know) and they no longer work. Here is what I have now in those slots:
place:sort=8&maxResults=10
place:folder=BOOKMARKSMENU&folder=UNFILEDBOOKMARKS&folder=TOOLBAR&sort=12&excludeQueries=1&excludeItemIfParentHasAnnotati on=livemark%2FfeedURI&maxResults=10&queryType=1
Both of those "urls" throw an error from Safari...Safari can’t open “place:...."
So what does everyone else have? This is on two machines, and I suspect using Xmarks for Safari caused that, and perhaps also this problem with the place stuff.
Then on another note, for all the bookmarks that have RSS defined, like Latest Headlines and News, if clicked, FireFox opens and if say News has 400 items, then FireFox tries open 400 tabs. Firefox is set as the default browser, but that's just nuts!
Well, thx for your help,
coocoo

forgettabout it. updated to safari 5 and these catagories just went away anyway. oh well...

How to revert back to the last version - I lost ALL most visited links and my Norton Safe master logon

Please, I am partially handicapped, and with the new version 4.0, I have lost ALL my Most Visited links and history, plus my Norton Safe master log on manager is also gone. (Typing in difficult for me)
Regretting this upgrade BIG time, I want to revert back to the last version but cannot find any instructions anywhere.
One blog entry I read said that the revert process (not explained how) made that person lose ALL their bookmarks.
There was NO warning that this 4.0 version would do any of this, and this is unacceptable, my favorite browser for a long time has me wondering now if I should go to Chrome!

Firefox 4.0 has a combined Reload, Stop, & Go button that appears at the right end of the location bar. Only one function is ever active at any one time, so combining them save UI space was a good idea. When a page is loading, it is a "Stop" button, when it finished loading, it turns into a "Reload" button, and when you start to type something into the Location bar it turns into a "Go" button.
To restore the Firefox 3 appearance you can use these steps:
* Open the "View > Toolbars > '''Customize'''" window or right-click a vacant area on a Toolbar, ''except fot the Bookmarks Toolbar''.
* Then drag'n'drop the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position at the left side of the Location bar.
# Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
# Set the order to "Stop - Reload" to separate them and get two distinct buttons.

From profile backup: Restoring bookmarks, most visited pages and reading list

Using the firefox mobile extension "Copy Profile" I have saved a copy of my profile to the sd card. Now I would like to restore selectively:
- bookmarks
- history
- reading mode saved pages
- most visited pages
While restoring the relevant files (using root access on android) helped, I am suffering from these probems:
- The order of the bookmarks is mixed up: I had ordered them with the desktop app. Where is this order stored?
- The "most visited pages" appears to be a random selection from the history.
Any ideas?

Solution was to copy the files mentioned here:
[[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
And here:
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/950536 Extracting bookmarks from Android mozilla profile backup]
Important:
The file ownership of all files copied back into the profile directory have to be adjusted. On my machine they defaulted to "root" owner which prevented firefox from accessing them.

Where do I find the bookmark called Most Visited

Have been using Mozilla at work and there is a button that says Most visited which takes me to the last sites I have viewed that day. However on my home Pc I can't seem to find out how to add to my PC

I am trying to recover my bookmarks and mail RSS feeds+folders.

I had to do a clean install of Lion. I almost have everything back but I am missing a few of my backup files. If I can locate these remaining items, I will be done finally!
Safari bookmarks
Mail RSS feeds and mail folders
Oh
And it would be nice to locate my iTune's Artwork for my library items. Not not a deal breaker, there are just so many of them to hunt and peck for if I decide to do so.
I have looked everywhere I can think of for these with no success.

I ended up having the Apple Genius bar work on this problem for me. The plists are now hidden in the Lion software and they had to go into the basic language portion of the system and execute commands to locate and retrieve the information. However, I do have all the information back.

I lost my bookmarks, history & my most visited, how do I get them back?

I don't know what I did, but I lost my bookmarks, history & most visited, can I get these back?

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Can't restore recent bookmark tag, despite restoring recent tags and most visited

Hi there, I recently lost my 'recent bookmarks' and 'recent tags' from my bookmarks folder. I searched help on the forums and followed the advice to restore the smart bookmarks folder (going to about:config, double-clicking on the smartbookmarks link, setting the value to 0 and re-starting) and whilst this brought back the 'most visited' tag to the toolbar (which I was happy not to have) and the 'recent tags' to my bookmark menu (which again, I don't really want), it hasn't brought back 'recent bookmarks', which is the one I actually want!
If anyone can help, I'd be grateful.
Many thanks,
Anais

Hi there,
thanks so much. When I tried to restore it previously (via about:config as you suggest), I'd read somewhere that I should right-click on browser.places.smartBookmarksVersion and change the value from 7 to 0, which is what I did. That brought back the 'most visited' tag and recent tag, but not the recently bookmarked.
But I've just followed your advice, via the link you gave, and instead of changing the value to 0, I right-clicked and just selected 'reset' and that's sorted it. I have my recently bookmarked tag back.
Thanks again.
Anais.

* "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders|Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
* Such smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox.
* Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
* Bookmarks or history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
* If you remove an entry then the list is shifted up and a new entry that wasn't shown previously is added to show 10 entries.
* If you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list.
* Items that disappear from the list are not gone, but merely do not show up anymore in that list.
* Actions like copy & paste or delete that you perform on bookmarks in such a list are done on the original bookmark.
You may have a problem with the places.sqlite file if the history isn't working properly.

One of my most visited site is missing from Most Visited Tab.

I look at my browsing history and it shows a site i visit a lot as in the top 5 sites I visit. This site does not show in my Most Visited Tab.

the most visited "header" in my toolbar lists all sorts of sites that are NOT my most visited. And when I pull it up under bookmarks\organize bookmarks the listing there is mostly my most visited, but still shows sites that I have only visited once or twice.

I want to keep or add things to my most visited site.

I want to be able to keep my most visited sites and add some new ones. why do they move all over the place?

When i open new tab would like to see most visited websites

when i open new tab would like to see most visited websites and the recent history, similar to Google Chrome and Safari Browsers. I remember Firefox having this feature, but don't know if still available or how to activate. Thanks

Babylon malware injected into Firefox seems to have many causes and as a result many fixes.
See this [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=Babylon&num_voted=0&num_votes=&asked_by=&answered_by=&q_tags=&created=0&created_date=&updated=0&updated_date=&sortby=0&a=1&w=2 search for Answers threads mentioning Babylon] to see what other similarly affected users have found to fix it for them.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Modifying url in most visited site?

I use the "most visited sites" bookmark for nearly all my regular navigation. One of the sites I've most visited has changed a bit (it's an automotive forum that updated their forum software), so the URLs (3 of them) to the subforums that I like to visit no longer apply.
Rather than waiting for Firefox to see that I'm visiting the new URL as opposed to the old one (and that URL I have been visiting for years and years), I wonder if there is a way to modify the entry in the most visited sites. Or modify wherever firefox stores that a particular URL has been visited x number of times so decides to include and rank it within the most visited list.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Thank you cor-el. I installed SQLite manager and browsed to places.sqlite. From there I looked in the moz_places table and could clearly see the visit count. I was able to easily modify both the # of visits, and the URL, and the changes were properly reflected in the most visited menu. This will allow me to update the URLs to my most visited forum.
Thank you!!!

I used to have the "most visited" icon on the toolbar and now I can't find it. Any ideas?

I apparently deleted the "most visited" button and I would like to get it back. Can you tell me how to do this?
